Nu Nu and Gboy's 66 gallon Red Sea Max build

Carey i know you have an engineer! Any info for us?! haha

I have two engineers in my tank. Started at 3" now they are 8". They will hide in the rockwork just like an eel and come out to eat. They will make caves in the sand but usually just one or two and they are done. They eat frozen food and sometimes steal some seaweed from my tangs. Very peaceful in my tank as well (because they aren't the biggest. Lol).

Ok awesome so it will be ok in a 66 with a decently deep sand bed? I want to find a larger one, my lfs only has tiny 2" ones...

I want a wrasse, but not a 6. I think they are kinda weird looking. Still cool though!! Haha i was checking out LA at all the cool wrasse..suggestions?

 

[needmorecowbell]

In starting to think so too lol. Maybe a flasher wrasse?

How bout a Mexican rock wrasse? They've got awesome streamers.

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Same here, rodi is necessary IMO. I like that wrasse man, thing is i never see rare fish like that down here! I can hardly ever see a midas blenny!

Yup here it is

2 Occerellis Clownfish (1 B&W)
1 Orange Stripe Prawn Goby
1 Fairy Wrasse/mexican rock wrasse?
1 Chalk Bass
1 Midas Blenny
1 Large Engineer Goby
1 Marine Betta
1 OneSpot Foxface

 

[needmorecowbell]

You might have aggression between the Midas and the engineer because of the body shape similarities and how they like doing some of the same things ( hide in rock)

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

That is a possability. I think the midas prefers to be on top of rocks and the engineer likes to hide in them though... Still agression? Other then that, any problems?

 

[needmorecowbell]

I've seen a video on YouTube of a Midas hiding in them. I'm not sure if it's normal though.. Everything else sounds great. I just found out there is a bicolor fox face, I'm still not sure what I think of it though.
