New fish

Right now I have a semi prediter tank. I have a yellow ribbon eel, dwarf lion fish, and a angler. They are in my reef tank and all doing well. I wanted to add more active fish and make it a community tank. I'm willing to get rid of the angler if I have to to do so. What do u all think I should do

 

Welcome to 3reef.

What size tank do you have?

What types of corals? Would a dwarf angel fish work?

 

I have a 55 gallon. Corals are polyps devils hands. Torch red green and blue mushrooms. Huge green Harey mushrooms big colony of palys Brain coral Duncan. Pulsing exenia and frogspawn. I want a lot of fish but wAnt my eel and lion to and mayb some more small lions Excuse the spelling

 

I can most definitely see why you might want more fish activity, your current fish are not big swimmers.

Any fish has to be large enough not to be eaten by the Dwarf Lion fish. A Flame Angel might be a nice choice. You could probably get larger adult Maroons clowns.

Try window shopping at Liveaquaria.com.

You might only be able to have 5-6 moderately sized fish in a 55 gallon total including the eel and the lionfish.

 

Do you think the eel would bother them

 

A Ribbon eel no.

 

Sometimes he tries to bite the lion

 

Welcome and...............

I think we'd like to see a FTS (full tank shot), or close ups, or both!
I know I would- sounds really cool.

Pictures of course, short vids are OK too!

;-)

 

How do I upload them I have no pc just an iphone

 

I think you can put the pic on a site like photobucket and it'll give you a image code to copy and paste to the forum
