Be careful with a royal gramma. He didnt include one major thing. They are very docile, unless in a small tank. I had a royal gramma and a pair of clowns in a 10, and the rg always was biting or chasing the clowns due to them being in his "territory"

I have a clown, an orchid dottyback, and a six line living together, the dottyback owns the rock work, the clown just likes to wiggle in my torches or frogspawn, and the six line cruises the rockwork in a sneaky way to avoid the A hole dottyback. Once I even saw my clown get between the other two, and he fluttered his body between them to cause a distraction for the six line to escape. They might be friends, idk… Reef tanks are fun!

We have a 400 litre fish tank, we had a coral beauty that died and two wrasse (Naoko fairy and a yellow coris) were waiting to find a female/Male pair of naoko’s but we know where we went wrong but I worry the magnificent foxface and blue eye tang are getting more aggressive by the days though

I seen a 220 gallon stand with the needed equipments, live rock, coral and some fishes for US$1650. Is it a very good price?
@enzobruschini565 4 жыл бұрын
Probably because corals and fish for that size of aquariums will probably be around 400 to 500 dollars the tank will probably cost 200 to 300 because of the size. The equipment for that big an aquarium will probably cost you about 200 to 350 dollars with all of the water which most stores sell it for about a dollar per RODI saltwater which in that case is about 220 dollars the live rock will probably cost about 150 to 250 dollars. So total you will probably spend about 1,620 dollars. So in my opinion it think that yes the amount that it was priced for is a decent amount.

So my foxface lo runs my tank at the moment. She's about 6" at this point. Started pretty peaceful, but as she's grown the royal gramma hides in a cave most of the day after they used to be nest buds. The irony tho is that my female clown pushes the Lo around if the Lo gets to near the clown corner of my tank. All great fish and been easy to keep. Do always wear gloves if you own a foxface while putting your hands in the tank. Mine comes every day to the algae clip, and is on it before I can get my hand out of the way.

Man i keep losing clownfish, i got 1 frostbite clown that is perfectly happy aswell as my diamond goby. But for some reason any other clownfish that i add just dies due to a parasite i believe since they always have white steingy poop and wont eat. Everytime i add them they dont last a week.

Jay Camp no, while cycling watch for Ammonia rising. This will turn into nitrite which will turn into nitrate. After you detect only nitrate, the cycling is complete and then you should do a water change.
