Let’s Talk Fish
I’ve always been more of a coral enthusiast, with fish just complementing the ecosystem. However, over the years, I’ve come to appreciate certain fish, especially those with dog-like personalities. Those fish you know are watching people as much as people are watching them.
My current fish are as follows:
- Lightning Maroon Clownfish "Roy"
- Blue/Green Chromis
- Banggai Cardinalfish
For my new 90-gallon tank, I’m aiming for a vibrant community tank. With this much space, I want to create an active and lively environment.
While utilitarian fish will be a key part of the stocking, I want to be sure there’s plenty of room for open water swimmers. My goal is to have an active tank, so I’m considering adding wrasses, blennies, and gobies. I’m also thinking about pseudochromis and basslets but more for the rockscape I am going to aim to achieve. (lots of overhangs and caves)
Since this is my first larger tank, I’d like to have a group of the same species. I felt like this would be a very welcoming addition. I currently have a Chromis and a Banggai Cardinalfish, both of which would fit well. I tried to keep a trio of Chromis when I first set up my 200XL, but they never were a comfortable set and it only took a couple months before I was down to a single fish.
So, it seems like Banggai Cardinalfish might be my best option.
I’m also interested in a free-swimming blenny from the Meiacanthus species. I haven’t decided on the exact type yet, but I want something different from the Canary Blenny, which I’ve kept before. Although, if I were to retry any fish, the Canary Blenny would be a strong contender.
