Hey guys. I’m currently cycling rock for my 25 gallon AIO. I wont be buying any fish until June, at which point I will quarantine them for a month. So the fish probably won’t make it into the display tank for 2-3 months yet. Would this stocking list be a compatible grouping? - 2 Clownfish - 1...

So I have over a year old 45g cube with two ocellaris clowns, a bicolor blenny, and a small yellow coris wrasse. Have been debating adding another fish. I was thinking something really unique and not seen in tanks often. A centerpiece fish would be nice, but I know I'm limited on size. I'm not...

Hi all, Newbie here, trying to plan out my stocking list. I've read that you should add the most gentle fish first, and most aggressive last. Given that, what order should I add these fish in: - Pair of ocellaris or percula clowns - Scarlet or longnose hawkfish (depending on which I can find)...
