Default Sockeye Salmon

Hi,

Oily fish, such as salmon, tuna and halbut, should not be used in a reef tank. The problem is that they introduce a bit of oil in to the tank. Since oil is not usually used by corals or fish, it becomes a substance that your skimmer needs to remove (sort of like oil from your hands).

Hence,I would not recommend it unless it was an emergency.

BUT...sockeye salmon tastes awesome (especially fresh stuff) on the grill or on the steamer.
