Looking for a new friend?

OK right now my tank is calm and happy. Want it to stay this way. Looking to add a new fish, Must be completely reef safe and compatible with my two clowns six peppermint shrimp watchman goby and emerald crab. The tank is a reef with a few fish to be. Thanks for all of the input.

 

We just scored a Royal Gramma a week or two ago. Good lookin' little dude and pretty peaceful....

 

I would becareful with royal grammas, sometimes they are peaceful and sometimes there not. Fairy wrasses and flasher wrasses are cool, I also like Cardinals, Chromis, and Firefish

 

How old is the tank? Dragonets are pretty peaceful, but not 'dump and feed' fish like others. Clowns aren't exactly peaceful by the way...

 

Well the clowns are pretty young and there 5 mollies in with them they are.kept in check. Thanks for the in put. The tank is 5 months old.

 

Try seeding your tank with pods, then in a month or two, add a dragonet. And with a tank that size, you can add a tang or 2, but I'm not sure which are the most peaceful. There is also firefish, gobies, blennies, and maybe if you're lucky, you can attempt seahorses/pipefish, I've seen them in peaceful reefs. Just make sure you see them eat, faster fish may steal their food.

 

Apologies for the temporary hijack... What situations have you seen Grammas become aggressive in? Is it a lack of food/shelter situation that may cause this behavior or just natural personality? Just asking because this is the first time I've heard that.

 

yeah same here on the grammas. Mater of fact I have 2 clowns and a gramma in a 10g at the moment and everything is fine. The gramma hides alot but comes out when no one is walking around the tank.


OVERSTOCK POLICE: I know grammas and clowns shouldn't be in a 10g but its only a temporary dwelling. They will be in the 40B this weekend or next week

 

possibly a pair of cardinals, either pj or bangaii they are awesome fish!

 

Thanks to all
