Looking for some fish

[thirty6]

I haven't added a fish to the tank in few months
I would like to add something Yellow, prefer something other than fox face or yellow tang
Also a red fish. Both must be reef safe, throw some ideas at me. Tank is 150 cube

Tank mates are hippo tang, gap/masked swallowtail, Lubbock wrasse, and maybe orange back wrasse not too sure, ban. Cardinal, and pair of clowns

Try a Yellow Candy Hog Fish
For red I truly have no idea lol

Chalk basslet

 

[thirty6]

Cool, thanks for suggestions. Didn't think of either
Hogfish will make lunch of shrimp? Although my hawkfish hasn't
Doesn't need to fully red, but I'm liking the pop with the lights is all

My kids want a royal gramma or similar but They don't understand it may never be out and about

 

[yesjenks]

What about a flasher wrasse?

Chalk basslet

If you go with the chalk basslett let me know where you find it because I've been to a few LFS and cannot seem to find them.

Midas Blenny is yellow. I love mine. He's super cute. Looks like he's smiling. We call him Banana.

 

[prattreef]

Candy hog is a good choice and for Red, nothing beats a flame hawkfish for color, personality and ease of care.

 

[lnevo]

My royal gramma is out and about quite a bit...you can usually find it chilling in the rocks as too when its not free swimming.

 

[prattreef]

Agreed. Royal Grammas are not particularly cryptic fish at all.

 

[thirty6]

Cool, thanks for that info I assumed we'd never see it. I like the hawk idea but have a long nose hawkfish already in tank. I might have forgot to add that to the listing earlier in thread.
I think I'll check out the royal gramma, see what else is around when I go

 

[Tonyscoots84]

if you want certain fish the lfs can order it for you. just don't say ill take what they have

 

[thirty6]

Thanks Tony, I'm somewhat picky with the fish i pickup...part of reason i only have a few in tank

 

[Tonyscoots84]

well then research and ask on the forum. Then ask them to order you the fish you want

 

[thirty6]

Just sent a pm to local vendor..
I really like that candy hogfish and will probably pu a royal gramma since both kids actually agreed on it

Added a watanabie angel and rosy scale wrasse last week from poto

Angel is doing excellent, after few hours of battling with the swallowtail all is good. The wrasse, haven't seen it since!

 

[akma]

Joe, hope your watanabei is doing good. Mine is awesome. These guys eat like crazy and getting along so far with some minor squabbles. Have you fed them algae sheets yet?

 

[thirty6]

yea mine is excellent too

i have been putting a sheet in everymorning before work all my fish have been attacking it. i have also been feeding frozen, pellets, flake its a hungry fish for sure
