Sailfin Tang

They're aggressive fish. Any fish added to the aquarium after them, they will dominate. I had a zebra damsel for a couple weeks, and then I purchased a royal gramma. Within hours of adding the gramma, it was dead and half eaten due to the damsel. never again...

 

I already have a order pending shipment. Just not sure have enough to support the cuc. If you are short on algae is it ok to feed algae wafers.

 

I would just increase lighting if you want algae. Or add meaty foods to jeep nassarius snails and crabs satisfied.

 

Wow note to self. Thanks OK will wait was talking to my son he said its cool we will get one later. What do you think of the Black clowns they will be tank raised ones.

 

New light was to be on today but have to make a adjustment to the temp light stand so it will be tomorrow.

 

I've never had black clowns. You can certainly keep them. When choosing clowns, remember this: maroons, Clarkiis, and Tomato clowns are the most aggressive. My personal favorite are Onyx Percula Clownfish ( Nano-Reef.com Forums > FS: Onyx Percula Clownfish Pair ). beautiful coloration. And if you're looking for something other chromis, what about anthias? They do fairly well in schools, and aren't as aggressive. Anthias for Sale: Sunburst, Lyretail and other Anthias

 

Well its either black or maybe picso not sure that's how its spelled really like the black clowns thanks.for all of your help.

 

Just a side note on the Anthias, if you are wanting to school them, there needs to be just one male and many many females atleast 3 or 4 because I use to have 4 of them and BAMB the one turning male killed all of em but one.

 

Some damsels are extremely aggressive like the Domino (Three spot) or the Black/White striped. Sometimes when you add them to a display tank especially a very large one like yours, removing them can cause a nervous brake down for the unfortunate hobbyist.

I like Chromis and have not found them to be highly aggressive when kept in groups in large systems. I think they add a lot of color and movement.

 

sailfin tangs love lots of flow, they will eat algae, they need seaweed suplements in there diet. The only negative I found is if you target feed they will steal food from those corals. I wouldnt introduce one first but they dont have to be introduced last. ive introduce smaller fish after them with success. Black percs are not much diffrent than percula clowns.somwhat territorial, they tend to pick hot spots in the aquarium rather than do a fair amount of roaming the tank. They tend to stay towards the front of the tank rather than in between rockwork
