    Awesome list. Some fish that I was a bit surprised weren’t here, but I know this is a top 10 and based on your experience , are: damsels(various species could be used as examples), lawnmower Blenny, chromis, yellow coris wrasse, yellow tang, watchman goby and clown goby. Thanks for a great video

    i LOVE my royal gramma, she always comes out to look at me and follow me. out of all my fish i feel the most connected to her, i think partly because you can see her eyes moving. very pretty too! she also swims upside down under rocks

    @John_Doe_6996 Год назад +1

    I have a clown, an orchid dottyback, and a six line living together, the dottyback owns the rock work, the clown just likes to wiggle in my torches or frogspawn, and the six line cruises the rockwork in a sneaky way to avoid the A hole dottyback. Once I even saw my clown get between the other two, and he fluttered his body between them to cause a distraction for the six line to escape. They might be friends, idk… Reef tanks are fun!

      Be careful with a royal gramma. He didnt include one major thing. They are very docile, unless in a small tank. I had a royal gramma and a pair of clowns in a 10, and the rg always was biting or chasing the clowns due to them being in his "territory"

    • @enzobruschini565
      @enzobruschini565 4 года назад

      Probably because corals and fish for that size of aquariums will probably be around 400 to 500 dollars the tank will probably cost 200 to 300 because of the size. The equipment for that big an aquarium will probably cost you about 200 to 350 dollars with all of the water which most stores sell it for about a dollar per RODI saltwater which in that case is about 220 dollars the live rock will probably cost about 150 to 250 dollars. So total you will probably spend about 1,620 dollars. So in my opinion it think that yes the amount that it was priced for is a decent amount.

    So my foxface lo runs my tank at the moment. She's about 6" at this point. Started pretty peaceful, but as she's grown the royal gramma hides in a cave most of the day after they used to be nest buds. The irony tho is that my female clown pushes the Lo around if the Lo gets to near the clown corner of my tank. All great fish and been easy to keep. Do always wear gloves if you own a foxface while putting your hands in the tank. Mine comes every day to the algae clip, and is on it before I can get my hand out of the way.

      Jay Camp no, while cycling watch for Ammonia rising. This will turn into nitrite which will turn into nitrate. After you detect only nitrate, the cycling is complete and then you should do a water change.
