Hi all,

Need suggestions for my wife's dream fish. A interesting main fish that can be housed in my current 2ft tank, easy to care for, brightly coloured, pellet feeding, inexpensive and reef safe. If it can do housework would be a bonus. Just shoot some suggestions! Thanks!

I do bring my wife to lfs, but we always end up with the picky fish (eg mandarin, ruby dragonnets, longnose filefish). Still searching for the ideal fish.

Love the flame angel but I'm starting to keep zoas, mushrooms and currently have a hammerhead coral. Heard they aren't reef safe?

Got a cleaner shrimp. Flame hawk ok around him?

Flame angel is a good choice for its color. Of cos its always a hit and miss whether they will start nipping on your corals. I got one and dun really see it nipping at my zoas...

Flame hawkfish dont think will be good with shrimp.. some say they got success with them but since i got 2 fire shrimp and 2 skunk i dont want them to be eaten by flame hawk.. ever thought of trying my luck but dont want to be a murderer. If i dont have shrimp will DEFINITELY buy flame hawk. Maybe a pair.. sure swee but not sure csn keep pair or not.

If you are looking for a show fish for your 2ft tank,

1) AT is poor choice as your tank is too small.

2) Black Tang is too expensive and probably not within your budget. Furthermore it will outgrow your 2ft very fast.

3) Purple Tang will also outgrow your tank very fast.

4) Naoko fairy is not a good choice either as they tend to darken under strong lightings and lose the vibrant red and yellow. They also tend to become overly aggressive in a small setup.

5) Flame hawk is a good choice for a small tank but in my opinion not so worthy as a show fish because of its perching behaviour and reclusive nature. They tend to leave bigger shrimps alone if they are well fed, so i am nt too worried about shrimps issue unless u keeping tiny shrimps like sexy shrimps.

6) Flame angel is a good choice for small tank and it is 50% reef safe. If you love your corals too much and especially if your corals are expensive, then sorry flame angel is out too.

7) 4-line wrasse can be very aggressive. Furthermore it definitely does not qualify as a show fish. A filler fish more so.

So out of the 7 fishes mentioned, if i were you, i would go for flame angelfish. It is bright red and definitely attracts attention.

When it comes to show fish, angelfish definitely fits the bill! They are interactive and respond to the owner, almost dog-like.

Is good to bring ur wife to marine fish shop to let her have a look at all marine fish. Maybe you can try to choose clownfish and damsel. This fishes r more easiler to take care. Marine fish is more to taking care of water. Water is good fish will be healthy

      Decommissioning Sales of 5f Reef Tank

      After more than 14 years into this hobby, I am disheartened but to end this hobby. I have a 5ft tank that is controlled by APEX and Redsea controller. It is very complete in my opinion as I have a total of 10 doser, UV, water and leak sensor, water level monitoring, waterflow monitoring, AI HD lighting, dual return pump, Reefmat 1200, Nyos skimmer, external refugium tank, Trident KH, CA, Mg automatic tester, Vortech Wavemaker and many more. There are fish and coral hence I reckon I need to decom this in stages unless there is a kind soul to take everything at one go. One of my favourite fish is Achilles Tang. I will try to post more pictures and meanwhile, do PM me for more information. I would give priority to mass sales over individual item hence please understand.
