I am going to get a dwarf. I wanted to know what else do you have in the tank with them? corals? inverts? fish? maybe people?

also, what size tanks? how much rock work?

I had one in a 55g with (at different times) butterflyfish, snowflake eel, saddle valentini puffer, and jawfish. Now he lives in my 30g breeder frag tank (he lived in the sump for a few months). No other fish in the frag tank with him, though I plan to put in my damsel when I get it out of the main tank.

I have a red volitian in a 55 now with a yellow tang, blue hippo tang, coral beauty, tomato clown, Powder brown tang
2 pulsing xenias, three kenya trees, a large long tentical plate,
GSP's, yellow Star polyps,an Large clam

the only thing i say to watch is shrimp, and anything that can fit in its mouth

i have one. you need at least a 30 gal tank. can have pretty much whatever fish you want with it just as long as it cant fit it in its mouth. havent had a problem with it towards my inverts. dont have corals so i cant tell you exactly iv read however its perfectly safe .. they like to sit on top of rocks and just watch the tank at times. my other fish in the tank are a singapore angle and a zebra goby, hes been with a damsel too. nothing specific really with rock work. what ever you like should be fine. feed every 2-3 days

very interesting... chef reef, they like to sit on rocks (like a blenny)? the next question is, what do you feed him? and is he usually out and about or hiding?
