    Get a big fuge for the mandarin and wrasse, hey will compete for pods, also make sure they are both eating prepared.
    Also, the cleaner wrasse should be taken off, they are important to reefs and aren't easy to get on prepared.

    thanks for the info. the cleaner is off the list.

    if i keep the list i have, would i be about maxed out for fish or can i keep others? if i can keep others what would be good?

    sorry for the noob questions but this salt water stuff is all new. i have been keeping cichlids for 5 years

    also which would be the best fish on my list to get first after my cycle is compleet?
