What Fish get along with coral and each other?

[darksheep]

Hi all, going to start stocking my tank soon and thinking about wat fish to keep. was at a LFS and only jus found out that angelfish and corals don't get along so led me to think wat other fish don't get along with coral or other fish. My book (the complete marine aquarium) only describes them and says whether hard to keep etc but not much mentioned about other fish interaction or corals. So i'm wondering if its just info from experience or just stories etc etc. Any bros can help tell me where i can get reliable info from? I intend to keep both corals and fish.

Thanks!

Hi Bro,

I can suggest u get a school of green chromis first, they r the most easy going fish and can get along with others and corals. :

want to get a coral beauty (its so pretty) a triggerfish (maybe a niger) a boxfish (preferably a colourful one eg spotted) a small lionfish, bannerfish... haha, i guess you guys think i'm crazy by now, but perhaps can advise me on which can and which cannot and why. and do angelfish really eat your coral?

coral beauty - some coral at risk

triggerfish - small fish & crustaceans at risk

boxfish - crustaceans esp snail at risk

lionfish - small fish & crustaceans at risk

bannerfish - not easy to rear

all these info from wat I gathered..

angel mostly feed on corals.

thanks so much for the info bro! but how, should put in the angel first or the coral first? (now tank has got no coral)

hi brother,if you wnat to keep corals,you have to leave out triggers,boxfish and banner.they are all prone to bite at corals.IMO,usually coral beauty is a 50/50 chance.
