Fishes for begginers

[sol]

In most cases, damsel are not the ultimate fish that many have in mind in a long run. For begineer to buy a damsel just to learn how to keep marine fish, is in a way, wrong. Generally for a tank crowd with inhabitants, its fine to have damsel(s).This is not so for a nano or pico system. So unless a person set up his tank just to have damsel in mind, keeping damsel as begineer fish is not the best option. But back to the topic, if we are saying which fish is more suited for begineer due to their hardiness...damsel could very likely be in the list.

QT is the best method for saving and helping n keeping healthy fishes.

Chromis will be very beautiful in a school...

Sometimes it's not about what level is the keeper but how ready is the tank... If the tank is mature and well cycled with a good maintenance routine, I can't see why beginners should shy away from keeping their dream fishes

Offer my input too:

Clarkii Clown - Super Easy and Bullet Proof for me.

Had him for 2 years..... then one day, it starts dragging all my other Percula Clowns down to the bottom and let go. Bite them.

All Perculas Died.

I was quite shocked.

Maybe it only happens to me.

Scopas Tang - Easy & Super Hardy !

Flame Back Angel - Easy & Super Hardy.

Fox Face - Easy and Tame

Agree. Maroon,tomato and fire clowns are very aggressive. I had a fire clown tat grew from a cute 1 inch to terror 4inch. Even my fingers are not spare.

Damsels are super bullet proof. My pair of yellow tail damsel was bought in sep 1999. One died in 2012. The other is still alive today n still same size. Its almost 15years old.

Yellow tail damsel are fine but don't get them in pairs. They will squabble till the day they die.

From experience bigger tank the fish will last longer if you want to keep more fish
