Looking for advice! We just set up a second smaller tank (60gl) and now cannot decide what to put in it. We originally had plans to do a seahorse tank but after research, have decided NOT to go that direction.

We have 125g setup now with more peaceful fish. One option is to relocate all my small fish into the smaller tank and then put a snowflake eel into the 125 with my blue tang, scopas tang & foxface.

Or build a second stock list in the new tank. Water is cycling now so we have some time to build it out. Suggestions welcome! 😄

Would like to add 1 or maybe 2 more fish, more open water swimming would be nice. I had a 1.5 year old Biocube 32 with 2 clowns, 1 lawnmower blenny, and 1 diamond goby. As well as sufficient cuc. Planning on upgrading to a 90 gallon in the next year or 2 if that helps with adding a juvenile larger species. Anyone have some recommendations? TIA

Looking for opinions on final fish to add to my mixed reef tank. I have a 125 gallon (2’x2’x4’) tank. Currently have a quoyi parrot fish, 2 watanabei angels, a magnificent fox face, a mandarin, a Midas blenny, a naoko wrasse, 2 clowns, and a Randal goby. My plan is to add a bristle tooth tang (either a tomini or maybe a Kole tang) and maybe a Bella Rose goby? Or maybe a female mandarin as the male has bee showing off his fins lately. Is this too much? I have a large varied clean up crew, a 40g sump with an over sized skimmer, a lot of media and a Clarissea roller.

Hey i know this app is strictly reef tank based but is there anyone who wants some fresh water fish i cant exactly/havent been able to take care of very well who lives in the central florida area

fish are

pearl gourami x1

xray tetras x2

kuhli loachs x2-3 (cant actually tell how many there are)

pepper corydoras x4 (two babies)

bristlenose pleco x1

the corydoras and pleco are in pretty bad shape unfortunately and i really need someone to take care of them because i need to divert all my attention to my reef tank which is currently still failing despite everything (atp if any more of my fish die i may offer up all my animals and get a peacock mantis shrimp or something eventually instead)

This is my new setup 14 days in I’m trying to start new and get my tank back together! I still need to add the other rock structure, but any advice on starting a new setup with no fish yet would be greatly appreciated!

A good mantra for everyone who got their first tank for Christmas. Rushing to get too many fish doesn't allow your bacteria time to establish. Rushing to get corals before you've learned how to manage your water quality will cause coral problems. Rushing to buy loads of equipment means you might spend money you didn't need to or on gear that isn't right for you. Go slow, be patient, research, research research.

So I’ve got a question.. I have a 55 gallon saltwater aquarium with 20 gallon sump. I neglected the tank for about a two month time frame due to circumstances (not proud of it).. been trying to get it back up and running like it used to. I have 2 clownfish, a royal gramma, coral beauty, 2 chromis, and a Kleins butterfly. My cleanup crew was awful before with only two turbo snails and two emerald crabs. The two turbo snails are no longer in the tank. Would 2 trochas, 3 cerith, 2 nassarius, 2 dwarf hermits, and a cleaner shrimp be a sufficient cleanup crew? That’s with the two emerald crabs already there. And potentially a lawnmower blenny at some point
