I have a fairy wrasse also. He kinda bullied my clowns for a little then my banggai Cardinal taught him a lesson over the span of two weeks and he doesn't bother anyone any more. In fact the clowns Cardinal and fairy wrasse kinda school around all day together

Putting pods in every month is just wasting your money. Your tank either had the conditions for pods to grow or it doesn't Adding more doesn't do anything but make your wallet lighter Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I don't agree. I like feeding my fish live foods. Sometimes I even feed them live muscles and clams from Whole Foods. The goal is that this fish needs live pods. If I want to buy them to be sure my pet has enough food--weather or not I'm making my wallet "lighter" is my worry not yours. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Lol your funny you don't agree. Your in here asking for help. If your so smart don't ask for help. This is the last time I will offer you advice. Your very ungrateful and don't know half as much as your think.

I asked for suggestions on which fish to put in, not what to spend money on. Don't give unsolicited advice bro. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Its ok bro all good. But It's only advice. Don't tAke it so personal ok. Take it with a grain of salt. In the end your tank is your baby abd of course you can do what you want. Pj cardinals aren't really that mean of a fish. Little chasing is ok. I had a kole tang chase a new coral beauty like crazy for a week. Coral beauty couldn't even come out and eat. Ny wife wanted me to take it out. After 2 weeks they don't even look at each other. I told her it's ok. One fish just trying to show the other who is boss. But there was no bodily harm. As long as it's just a little chasing it will be ok give it time

I already took him back. He was actually nipping at the other PJs fins and wouldn't let Him eat. I was worried what he would do to the other fish when I took him out of QT. The fins were all ratty it was sad. As soon as I took him out the other way was happy as a lunatic and immediately left his corner. His fins already grew back too. It's been about 5 days.

Sometime with 2 small a tank fish will harass the other even with a so called schooling fishing like pj cards. I had 5 in a 125 year ago they did ok. But yes one was king of the tank

Yeah that's a good point. I thought of that once maybe I put them in the larger tank they would chill. Didn't want to take the risk. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Would add them all at same time if I where you. When fish are small and young you can get away with more stuff then once they are full grown and established a territory in your tank

I have too many agreed I've eaters in my tank. Clown goby would never get to eat. I will be getting a pair of mandarins but my 265 is still cycling so I'll probably wait 6 to 9 months.

If they don't fight and your nutrients are ok not sure why that's too much. I rump ZEOVit so my nitrates are never above 2.5ppm and my Phosphates are never above .04ppm so I may be able to support more. Are clown Goby shy eaters? I usually try to target feed my yellow Watchman, or I at least make sure he eats. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I have a hippo, yellow tang , kole tang , 2 anthias , 2 fairy wrasses, watchman goby, coral beauty , 2 clowns. They don't fight but I do have to watch nutrients sometimes but I tend to over feed. That's why new system I have a 6 foot 200 gallon sump with 3 feet for refugium and turning my 57 into a Marco tank with 6 inch deep sand bed
