+KimP Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 My tank is 4 feet long, 2.5 feet wide for 151 gallons. I can't decide what fish to add next. I loved the tassled filefish but I don't want to kill another, same with yellow eye kole tangs. I tried 3 of those in my last tank (one at a time, in my 90gal) and lost each one within a few days, even the one from divers den. So maybe a tang just isn't in the cards for me. I'm thinking maybe some anthias? I'd love any input. I've had all of my current fish for at least a year, several I've had for a few years, so I hope the deaths I've had aren't due to my caretaking abilities. I love wrasses but don't necessarily have to have more, and I need to keep the tank peaceful. I will be adding another urchin. The fish I have now are: Dwarf Morey eel Foxface Yellow wrasse Springer's damsel Royal gramma Red lined wrasse A little tiny clear goby added from my pico Yellow watchmen goby Inverts: 2 urchins 2 fighting conchs 2 turbo snails 1 bigger hermit and possibly a couple smaller A few smaller snails Also if it seems like I'm probably fully stocked I'd like to know that too.

FarmerTy Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Mine's the biggest chicken ever... Always hiding in the shadows and running away from everyone. They got so much personality...def a must have in any tank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KimP Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 I'm for sure getting a flame hawkfish, thanks for the idea Ty. The angel is a bit expensive right now, although beautiful. I just remembered I had been wanting to get a shrimp to go with the watchman goby. Do you think it's too late for him? I've had him quite a while and JamesL had him for a long time before that (sorry your shrimp died James [emoji53] ) He used to be paired so do you think he still would if I put a shrimp in there? If so, any recommendations? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+KimP Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 I'm not sure but don't Hawkfish eat shrimp?I hadn't even considered that since I lost my filefish. I'll look it up, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornToHula Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 According to online sources, they will eat smaller shrimp but may leave the larger types (fire, pistol) alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+KimP Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 Liveaquaria's compatibility chart shows hawkfish not compatible with eels. Do you think that's because the eel would eat the hawkfish, or the hawkfish would hurt the eel? My eel is a small one and hasn't eaten any of my fish. I'm assuming the chart is taking about bigger eels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I'm going to assume there aren't any eel eating flame hawkfishes out there so I think you are correct on your assumption. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KimP Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 I'm going to assume there aren't any eel eating flame hawkfishes out there so I think you are correct on your assumption.I was thinking maybe they pester the eels or something but a bigger eel eating the hawkfish is much more likely, I agree. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckyuv Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Def Gota get a flame hawk! He's my coolest fish in the tank, like Ty's mines a chicken he gets bullied by the chromis lol. I leave the flipper scraper on the front glass for him to sit on and he'll just sit there and watch what's happening outside the tank. I've been thinking about getting a 2nd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
