bcoop78 May 3, 2012 May 3, 2012 Ok so I cant put anything my tank right now.... but I sure can dream/plan for it!!! Here is the fish I wish to put in my tank. I don't believe it is too many, but please correct me if I am wrong. I want to hear people's experiences with these particular fish, and give me some recommendations if possible.

smallreef May 3, 2012 May 3, 2012 what size tank... i dont remember off the top of my head, lol but i would say anything larger than a 50g....you should be fine... you'll just have to wait a while for the blenny to have enough algae to eat! you need a few other smaller filler fish though, lol

smallreef May 3, 2012 May 3, 2012 something like some orangelined or pajama cardinals, maybe a hectors or rainfords goby.. smaller swimming and schooling fish.. the cardinals are really cool...
steveoutlaw May 3, 2012 May 3, 2012 Get a pair of Bangaii cardinals. If you get a male and female they will give you some baby fishes.
smallreef May 3, 2012 May 3, 2012 I would only say bangaii's if you get them from ORA other than that they are almost exclusively wild caught :( Just get in on the ORA group buy through Aquatic Obsessions if its still open when you are ready for some fish ...

No personal experience but bicolor angels are some of the worst in terms of coral eating among the small angels. Ever angel is a little different but if you are keeping polyps, softies, and lps, may want to reconsider. Also, the tank is a little small for a bicolor IMO. If you are planning on getting a small angel, maybe consider something a little smaller like an argi or flameback. Firefish are nice for the water column in cube tanks. Other small fish to consider are the possum wrasse and the geometric hawkfish.
trockafella May 3, 2012 May 3, 2012 If you dont plan to have a screen top you can scratch the wrasse and the idea of firefish. A little more info on your plan for the tank would be helpful. Reef or fish only, what kind of corals (SPS, LPS, mixed.?) etc..

The bicolor seems to have quite a few negatives- especially since I plan to keep LPS. I like the flameback because it has similar colors. The main reason I like the bicolor is because although it is a small angel, it retains the shape of it's larger relatives... sort of shaped like a Queen Angel. I cant find another Angel like it. Any ideas? I would recommend a Royal Gramma they are beautiful. Yes. They are very much so. I have had one before and may indeed get another!

Reef or fish only, what kind of corals (SPS, LPS, mixed.?) etc.. I plan on keeping a mixed reef with a heavy emphasis on LPS. I also plan to fab a screen top, as I have lost more than a couple 6-lines in the past.... :-( I really want to place most emphasis on the corals, but I do love the fish as well... You have a nice setup... what do you recommend?
bcoop78 May 10, 2012 Author May 10, 2012 What about a Potter's Angel? Anyone have any experience with them?
