You can breed your own cardinals. You can tell the pairs because non pairs scrap in a group, but with Banggai's, the males have a long banner fin and a square mouth. The female mouth is pointier. You have to look for a while but you'll see the pairs. When they get pregnant, the male holds the eggs for 19-21 days. If you know your fish has eggs, herd the male into a pen and poke him to release the babies at 19 days. If he releases into the main tank, the female will immediately eat the babies. as soon as you have the babies, pick the male out because he too will eat them a few mins after he releases (go figure).. But you can feed babies gut loaded live brine shrimp and they should live. I had 14 babies survive on my first brood. They are super cute.
Can you keep an ocellaris with a neon dottyback? My tank is in perfect condition for both and I already have my occie. Debating if I want to add another occie or a neon dotty. Anyone done this?
"Clownfish are great for nano aquarium... remain peaceful". My arm begs to differ. Let me put it to you this way, there is a reason I wear gloves now when doing even the smallest thing in my tank... and it ain't due to fear of getting stung by Bristle Worms.
Doesn’t really hurt but I can totally relate. I get startled when she nips at me. Never seen mine be aggressive towards other fish though. Only my female nips at me... idk if it has anything to do with gender 🤷🏻♂️
Swen hey Sven! Nano reefs are super fun ☺️ we wouldn’t suggest adding a banghai cardinal, as they need a little more room to swim. A single clown may be aggressive in a nano tank as well, and 8 gallons is slightly small for a pair. Certain types of gobies may be ok. Panda goby, flaming prawn goby, Yasha goby come to mind. Sexy shrimp can work. And maybe even a Pom-Pom crab! You could also put in a yellow tail damsel if you wanted to have a fish that will utilize the middle of the tank so you have more movement! Enjoy your pico!
If i wanted to keep a nano tank of around 50-60 liters, what would be the best tank setup? in terms of how many and which fish to keep and what type of reef to have (natural; artificial - any particular ones). I am looking for something which is easy to keep and maintain.
M A if I did my conversions right, that’s around a 13 to 15 gallon. You’d definitely be able to keep coral and fish in that size. There are clowns that stay small or any of the fish listed in the video, just make sure they’re compatible. Check out the Inappropriate Reefer for his $146 Nano budget build to get an idea of what to keep in that size tank and how easy it is. The rule of thumb for saltwater fish is a 1 inch fish needs 5 gallons minimum.
My understanding even the captive raise mandarins are difficult to keep. I’ve read several forums where people have bought the high priced tank bred gobies only for them to starve after 3-4 months. Poor fish husbandry? Maybe. But I have not read much success either.
I love saltwater but I know way more about freshwater There’s way more stuff you have to remember with saltwater and it’s stupidly expensive compared to freshwater I’m not trying to spend 2 or $3000 on fish just to have them die💯
I couldn’t disagree with this more. Designers benefit a lot from being in a large tank as they feed on thousands and thousands of copepods a day. They can live in the smaller tanks but thrive in large reefs that have lots of microfauna and copepods. In a nano reef unless you add pods weekly a dragonet of any kind will wipe them out in a day or two.
I see mandarin gobi i click
waxm it’s mandarin dragonette
yay I'm 1000th sub. haha small victories been wanting a current led but just saving for now. glad to see you all are making videos.

very informational
How many gallons is the tank shown?
i would guess 30 gallon

Yellow tangs are also aquacultured now and breeding in commercial aquaculture
What is the tank in the video? (Brand and size if not custom 5:14) It looks amazing btw.
It looks like maybe an Innovative Marine NUVO Black 40
You got the videos mixed up of your blenny and goby I think?

What is the yellow fish with the purple around its eyes that tried to photo bomb the blenny??
Why didn't u show the cardinal fish #2
: (. ... Now I so 😕
I love the ocellaris clown fish but they’re way too common for my liking If I had clown fish it would be tomato clowns💯
4:57 "They're available in a wide variety of colours and varieties."
Jazz Warrior what?
Big brain
no way

@@CurrentUSA Thank you very much😗

Great video! Very informative thank you
Is that a chlarkii or sebae clownfish
I’m getting a current orbit for my 40 gallon!
I have it and a wavemaker on a 40 cube. I absolutely love it.

Where can you get captive bred dragnets? I would very much like to get a pair!

That's a striped dottyback not a kamohara blenny.
Can we keep diamond goby and Mandarin in 3ft long tank?
Yes
I’ve had a golden head goby and a mandarin in a 3x1 foot tank and they’re doing great (golden heads and diamonds both have a max size of about 6in)
That nano tank at the start looks so overstocked!! plus way too many clowns?!
The nitrates and lack of aggression might say otherwise
Clowns are peaceful? Tell that to my hand
What is the tank in the video
Its a Red Sea Max cube tank
Current-USA thanks
Current-USA do u have a link to the product?
How many ocellaris clownfish would you recommend for a 75 gallon tank?
A pair

maybe you can have a refugium too to keep them somewhat populated
put that dottyback in as your VERY LAST fish because it WILL become aggressive don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Mandarin dragonet
Is it ok a 3 gallon tank for 2 clownfish?
flyingIntothestorm no. They need at least 5 on the small side but most say minimum 10 gallons
You missed out the blue tang!, I have one in my 10g and it's doing great!
Most blue tangs aren't captive bred. And aren't great for nano tanks. I hope you upgrade your tank for that blue tang😊
marquise Washington oh no sorry was just kidding and seeing how quickly the Angry tang police would come and get me😜😂
Sam Osborne I'm not the tang police. If I was I'd be more than happy to shove their care info down your throat.😁
Sam Osborne haha ur awesome
I find this to be misleading
Clownfish are not peaceful 😂
Lol it says top 5 and u do 10
you kids today and your captive bred fish.
smh
So u want to stress the already very outbalanced ecosystems even more just because?
none of the fish mentioned i would not put in an aqaurium less then 55 gallons def not nano reef fish
