Hey everyone, I'd love some suggestions for new fish that are reef and invert safe, non-agressive, and not overly prone to jumping... I know, easy right?!
I've got a 70gal DT (30x24x24) with an open top that is intended to be first and foremost a mixed reef tank. Tank has a sugar sand bed that's up to 3" deep in places.
Current fish include:
- Canary Wrasse
- Azure Demoiselle
- Clown Goby
- Black False Perc. Clown
Usual inverts including snails, a small star, urchins, cleaner shrimp, hermits...
Had:
- Royal Gramma for over a year, went carpet surfing one day out of the blue
- Neon goby that died recently due to an unknown illness (all other fish appear healthy).
Current prospects:
- Orchid Dottyback
- Bicolor Chromis
- Blackbar Chromis
- Oblique-lined dottyback (McCulloch's dottyback)
- Jawfish (either Yellowhead or Bluespot)
- Yellowstripe cardinal
- King Demoiselle (Pink Demoiselle)
- Possibly a group of Glass cardinals (Apegon Lepcanthus)
- Also considering a dragonet. System is 1-1/2 years old, and has a fuge in the sump to help with pod population.
Any comments on my current prospects would be appreciated as well. I'm in the vancouver area so I'm dealing with J&L and Ocean Aquatics as sources, so preferrable candidates would be something they would carry or bring in.
Thanks in advance!
