Recommendations for new Marine.

MrBishop

Hi guys,
so a few weeks ago i began my new project and finally set up my marine tank,



Now after adding some live rock and a few Crabs,





I Dont know what fish to get, I want coral in my tank so what fish would be best.

Many thanks!

what size is the aquarium....if it is small...reef safe....percula or ocelaris clowns...scooter blennies...fire fish...shrimp gobies....small damsels...chromis...psuedochromis....banghai cardinals...to name a few...

Another observation, given the height of your reef structure, which is small, you will be more limited than normal on how many fish you can keep before you begin to see aggressive behaviors. If you were to say, double the height of that live rock structure, then you would have a much easier time mixing fish.

It really depends on your goal. What fish are you interested in?

Thanks for reply, im looking on getting loads more live rock because i want a nice reef.

i want really bright colorful fish.

royal gramas are cool too...gramma loreto has a purple front half with a bright yellow rear portion...and they stay small...

Pasfur

great fish... don't confuse with the BiColor Pseudochromis, which is the same color but very territorial.

MrBishop

look nice, i like tangs aswell, are they agressive or ok?

120 litres according to the Google calculator is 31 gallons... WAY too small for a tang.

Also we generally go by the rule of 1 pound per gallon of live rock... that would be around 14 kilos. Nothing wrong with having more though!
