compatability

Hey Reefers! I am in the pre-planning stage of my next tank. I have most things figured out, but there still remains a pretty big question that will decide whether or not I buy a larger tank. I am interested in buying the ProStar 200 v2, which is a ~185G total system tank. It's a "reef ready"...

Hello, All. Currently I have a 40g cube display LPS dominated reef tank. I am thinking about adding a starry blenny but I want to make sure it gets along with my other fish. Currently I have: 2 ocellaris clowns 1 royal gramma 1 midas blenny 1 six line wrasse. Notes: The six line (Poppy) was...

Hi everyone I haven’t been able to find any information online about the comparability of shrimpfish with garden eels but am curious if anyone has any advice? I already have an established 40 gallon with several garden eels and a couple peaceful companion fish and they are fed liquid and dry...

I have recently bought this crab from my LPS and they labeled it as a Sand Sifting Crab, which it is but I was wondering if someone could ID it so I can do more research on its compatibility within my tank. They told me they believed it was reef safe with caution, but they also didn't have much...

I have a 135 gallon display that I have a rather large Diamond Watchman Goby in. He's definitely focused on the sand bed. Would there be an issue with adding a blenny? If compatibility isn't an issue, what type of blenny would y'all recommend for this tank? We have a Bicolor in my 25 gallon...

I have a 75g tank I’ll be setting up by end of the year. There’s a crap ton of wrasse that I like and need a way to narrow it down. Which wrasses are compatible or you would recommend for a 75g? I’d like to have 2-3. The wrasses that I have taken a liking to are: •Potters wrasse...

I am well aware wrasse of the genus Thalassoma specifically Lunare, Hardicke and Paddlefin are extremely aggressive and will destroy a cleanup crew. I know they can also bully small fish but is it true wrasse of this genus will actually prey on small fish as well? Would damsels, anthias...

I’m setting up a 40 gallon tank at the moment, and for a while i’ve been planning to get sexy shrimp which prevents me from getting some other fish species i like, the longnose hawkfish, six lime wrasse, and a jawfish, would these fish go after, Cleaner shrimp, Maybe a fire shrimp, Anemone...

Hi Everyone, I’ve got a 45 gallon AIO that’s about 8 months old now. We haven’t added anything new in a while and may be done or close to it but I wanted to get some opinions. Current stocking: 2 Occelaris clowns (2”) 1 Carpenter’s Flasher Wrasse (2.5”) 1 Purple Firefish (2.5”) 1 Royal Gramma...

Could i pull of a Tailspot and Linear Blenny in the same 40 gallon tank, i could barnacles on both sides or something, i also want a striped blenny but those are different enough so i think it’ll be fine

I am considering getting an eel for my 150 gallon reef tank. Anyone have any suggestions on eels that are reef safe and not hostile or able to keep non hostile against other tank mates?

I was looking into building a reef tank, my mother grew up with one but doesn't remember much so I was asking here. I was planning on stocking the following 2 black ocellaris clowns 2 pink skunk clowns(this is the main concern, I know people here have kept multiple pairs of different clownfish...

Hello all, So I’m rather new to reef keeping, and initially I stocked my tank with three damsels at the recommendation of my LFS, which I rehomed shortly after since I wasn’t aware how big and aggressive they’d become. To replace them I got two banggai cardinals and a falco’s hawkfish; I didn’t...

I have a blotchy that’s about 2-3 inches so still on the smaller side. I was looking at getting a couple of captive bred fish from biota which usually come fairly small. Looking at getting a blue mandarin and a Cuban basslet. Other fish I have in my tank currently; captive bred yellow tang...

Hello everyone, I recently got a free 9-inch engineer goby that looks amazing for free while buying a tank breakdown. I was researching online for information but couldn't find anything. The current stockings I have are Gem Tang (1), Yellow Tang (1), Tomini Tang (1), Blue Tangs (2), Purple Tang...

Hello everyone, my 225-gallon tank has been up for quite some time and the only wrasse I have is a 6-Line but Im wanting to add more like a fairy wrasse or this pink one I saw at my LFS. What are your thoughts am I able to keep more or am I stuck with just the 6-line? I added a photo of the pink...

Hey everyone! After over 2 decades of keeping freshwater planted tanks (which I still have and love), I finally decided to dive head first into the reef keeping hobby with my older 11 year old son. We’ve had our tank up and running for about 4 weeks now with live rock from our LFS (Red Sea MAX...

I have a tank with a Halleri ray, one marble coral catshark, one vlamingi, one purple tang and a soldier fish. I was wondering if anyone has experience having a ray with a Foxface? I am a little afraid he's going to get carpeted by my ray who occasionally does it to my other fish and he's...

Wondering what other fish i can add to my 36g bowfront. my current stock is Fish: 2 ocellaris clowns, 1 christmas wrasse, 1 tailspot blenny Inverts: 4 blue leg hermits, 2 nassarius, 1 trochus, 4 ninja star, 1 tiger conch, 1 zebra turbo Coral: Pink torch, Green torch, duncan, kenya tree, sunburst...

I recently purchased a Long Nose Hawk, A Clownfish and a Cleaner Wrasse. For the most part, everything has gone well except that I have noticed that the cleaner seems to target the Long Nose Hawk disproportionately compared to the other fish for his cleaning service. The Long Nose hawk appears...

I’ve read in the past that blenny and goby shouldn’t be together, however recently I have read that as they occupy different space they get along fine? Any experiences/suggestions? I have plenty of live rock, caves, holes, ledges and areas that break apart the whole tank. If this could work...

My tank is finally done cycling and I'm looking to start with clownfish for my tank. It's ~360 gallons (8' x 30" x 30") with a 120 gallon sump. I know with clownfish, unless you get a harem, eventually the female and her bonded male will likely kill everyone else. A lot of people seem to have...

Hello everyone, I got a new 126 gallon aquarium and been doing some shopping for which fish I should add to the tank. I came up with this list. In your opinion, are these good picks or should I reconsider? (1) Yellow Tang (1) Six-Line Wrasse (1) Azure Damselfish (2) Common Clownfish (2-3)...

Before I create my Build Thread, I want to get more input from those more experienced. It's not my first reef tank, but my first in 15 years. I won't be adding these all at the start- nor could I afford to $$$. Below is my proposed stocking over the life of my "forever" tank. 220g...
