How would you stock?

[cgthebeast]

So I have a 25 SW cycling and I can't decide on fish i want. So my question is , if this was your tank , what would you stock. I'm running a 40-60 gallon filter and its going to be a reef.

I would get a tanaka's pygmy wrasse and a pistol shrimp and watchman goby combo.

I like the colors of the Tanka's but there really hard 2 find around here.

Have you asked your store to order one for you? Most LFS will do that. I was even talking to someone at Petco the other day and they said they can order anything off their main site with a 50% deposit. You pick it up when it arrives with their store order. Don't think they charge for shipping that way either. I might give that a try someday.

Seems my Petco lady can get me whatev I want. I've never had to pay a deposit but then again, I haven't tried to order my Spotted Mandarin Goby yet! HA!

True, but I really don't trust my petco, everything they have is really young

You could get the shrimp and goby pair for the bottom then have a helfrichi fire fish or dwarf sea horse for the mid section

Alright, sounds good. I've done some research and I think I'm getting a firefish and a yasha goby / Randall shrimp pair, but I would like another fish. I looked at the yellow possum wrasse and I like it, but I want something with a little more color.

If you have zoanthids and some bright motile invertebrates, you can have a colorful aquarium

Planning on them and several other corals.

You should look for a coral species that glows.

Wow, do you have any suggestions. I have a total if 96 watts. I'm interested in Duncan's, frogspawn, candy canes, bird nest so far

Are you looking for a certain flourecent color?

 

[bettaowner]

Zoanthids and mushroom corals exhibit amazing flourecent colors

Not really, I. Like the greens I've saw on some. I'll look into some more zoas. Mushrooms are really cool 2

Brain corals are another option but can be difficult to care for

So I've heard, I want to try my hand at harder corals but that won't be until my tank ages some
