Thanks. That's what I'm trying to do. I don't plan on putting fish for another 2-3 months. Any suggestions? Angel fish?, Huma Huma Trigger, or is there a small Tang? |

The wrasse and the Mandarin have been pals since I got them.... I've got more than enough pods.... They've both been in the tank for several months now, both are fat and healthy. Not sure other than competing for food where the conflict would be. I was told that the diamond gobies would be able to bond, why not? Would like to hear from the expert |

I'll keep an eye on them then. Thnx.
When I started the tank I stocked over 8k pods before adding those fish.... Some of the pods are an inch long now. And every month I see countless babies |

Oh amphipods.... The wrasse eats oysters and other frozen also. Pellets too.
The mandarin is also well fed and always eating stuff off the rocks. |

I have a 75 gallon with a 55 gallon sump/refugium. Alot of Negative space in my tank. Fish can swim the front half of the tank uninterrupted and rock work in the back with plenty of hiding places.
I have one occelaris clownfish, the other died so Im going to add another to make it a pair again I have one yellow tail damsel Purple tang (I understand a larger tank is desirable), larger tank is hopefully on the horizon before the tang reaches a size that would make him uncomfortable in my current set up. From here I only plan to potentially add (over time): -On the fense with a sand sifting Goby (heard they will essentially clear out the live sand and no long be live?) -Flame hawk fish -Black cap Basslet -Dispar anthias -a jawfish of some sorts -mandarin -cleaner wrasse -cleaner crew/shrimp/snails etc Then heavy on Corals.

Hello,
I have a standard 75g with a 20g long sump. So far I have a pair of black and white occelaris clownfish. I have a cuc consisting of snails and hermits. Also have a frogspawn and some zoa's. Looking for reef/coral safe. Ultimately want a mandarin dragonette after the tank matures. Am considering one (possibly more?) of the following for my next addition: Bi-color Dottyback Orchid Dottyback Royal Gramma Azure Damsel Yellowtail Damsel Thanks for your help! |

If you want a reanalysis, I am pleased to provide it, but since I do thousands of these, please provide total stocking list and tank size. Thanks.

The remaining clown I DO have is pretty small itself (it was the smaller of the pair). So i need to find one smaller than it?
or would it be best to see if my LFS owner would let me trade him my existing clown for another new one/and purchase an additional one that would make a better matted pair?
