What Kind Of Stocking Could I Have

[kj23502]

There are lots of neat fish that don't eat coral. Have you looked at any of the reef safe wrasses? Quite a few have amazing color and would def. draw attention.

Yellow tangs are common but really stand out due to their striking bold coloration.

If you're experienced, what about a shoal of anthias? http/www.liveaquaria.com/product/aquariu...ies.cfm?c=15+20
They do require multiple feeding per day. And if interested definitely read up on them before you get them.

Here's a list of common puffers.

With either of these, you could pretty much say bye bye to your crabs, snails (not sure about starfish, but would be it'd be in danger as well). These big carnivorous fish are really not good to mix w/smaller fish, imo. I'd not feel very comfortable with it if they were in my tank.

oh ok is there any eels as you know of tthat dont get huge or octypuses that you dont have to feed live food

 

[bae1994]

laptops starting to slow down bad wifi so check on posts tomorrow

octopuses are crazy to keep in captivity. The ones that stay small only live about 1 year or so IF you can keep them alive. The one that lives forever is the Pacific Octopus and require public aquariums to due the sizes they reach.

I'd love to have an echidna nebulosa some day. Snowflake eel. They'll eat crustaceans, and for the most leave fish alone if they are well fed. As you get in to the other common morays you'll find the fish eaters.

you kinda have to choose if you want corals or big fishes, because most reef fish are small, except tangs and maybe wrasses can be considered big, but tangs are nice

Don't forget some anthias or pseudoanthias

[shibby]

can you learn to be patient please.


o and choose wether you want corals or big show fish because that will definetly help.


batfish = nono

blue trigger = not too bad with corals but do reach a fair size and i would say they need a larger system then a 103, or whichever size tank your getting next

 

[rabbut]

The trigger will have all mobile inverts also... Not shure on the Batfish...
