Any gd suggestions ?

[hydrox78]

how about

1. flame - red and nice and available

2. flameback - small and cute/ orange and blue

3. Philippines half moon - nice color but hard to keep)

4. lemon pure ( i prefer the orangey type, hard to find these days)

Those are my favorite little angels.

Yes if your wrasse is big enough, mine mystery wrasse is close to 5 inch and it eats up most of my acro crab except those super big one.

Depend whether you are very obsessed with sps poly extension? If you are then dun get angel, because even dwarf angel will have itch mouth and nipped the sps, which will cause the poly extension to be shorter. (Angel nipping of sps will not cause any damage to the sps)

i suggest tangs like yellow purple blue tangs they go well in almost any tanks

If u like nano fishes to go with sps, any colour clown goby will be nice.

Hmmm from my understanding, clown goby is not reefsafe, it feed on sps if not wrong.

You have to take note that the thread starter's tank is only 2 ft, so tangs are not suitable.

So u mean 3ft tang can keep tangs? How many tangs can a 3 2 2 tank can hold.

Do note that Tangs grow fast and big, but your tank size remains the same.

So the nutrient level grows which is bad for a sps tank.

Many Tangs eat and shit abundantly.

I suggest Yellowtang and Sohal Tang or Brown Tang for your tank size.

The tangs I mentioned are beautiful, algae eater and do not have a voracious appetite.

In addition to these, you can have wrasses, damsels, blennies,anthias and other coral fishes.

It would be wise to add these fishes slowly and not stress the biological load too much.

Happy Hunting.

I love tangs but had a bad experience if put 1 for quite sometimes and add new(other) tangs in it. The first one(purple) will "kill" any new tang i put inside.

or release new fishes at midnight when lights all off. tht trick usually works for me. but its not a foolproof plan ya? it reduces initial aggression and ensures the new lfs stabilises in the tank first, gives it a higher chance of surviviing
