Re: fish list
tristan,
Only one wrasse per tank. Skip the dottyback, imo. Have heard they are pretty aggressive. Pair up your percs, but leave out the skunks. Don't know much about the blennies' diet requirements. Do a little research on them to be sure your tank will support them. Overall, try not to over stock on fish, then have to feed them less than they need to avoid or cure algae/cyano problems. HTH

I think that the orchid is one of the least aggressive memebers of the dottyback family. I'll make sure to aquire the orchid and not the strawberry which have a history of violence :smile: So you dont think pink skunks would work with peculas? I thought they could
thanks

You might be able to get away with different types of clowns only if you don't pair them up. Whatever you do, make sure you add these additions gradually so as to not shock your system.

The hippo is a great choice imo, but I would only put 1 blenny in the tank. Midas blenies are nice as well as the bi colour. I agree about the clowns. I wouldn't mix them up. What are cleaner gobies ? The Orchid dotty is a very nice fish but fairly shy. You might not see much of it.
Lots of choices out there. enjoy

HN,
Cleaner gobies are also known as neon gobies, Gobiosoma oceanops. They look like minature versions of cleaner wrasse with a neon bright blue (or other colour) stripe down the side. They are now captive bred but have a very short lifespan of only a year or so. Beautiful lively little fish and usually very good cleaners too. Too bad we can't enjoy their company for years. Anthony
