Cool Fish?

[Saltyfish]

So I have another week or 2 or 3 and my coral collecting will turn into fish collecting.

Here is my plan so far but I am open to suggestions of cool rare fish that my current fish will get a long with that are reef safe.

2 to 5 Fire Fish (Dart fish)
1 Medium Sailfin Tang
1 Dussumieri Tang
2 Pipe Fish (orange stripe I believe)
3 clams

So what cool fish do you recommend, I am looking for something you do not see everyday in everyones tank. Sorry not really into wrasses

Thanks for your help

jawfish are good presuming Saltyfish has a DSB and not a BB tank.

Sand Bed and in one area it will be kept deep and have rubble rock

I love Jawfish!

I love them too I have had two, one in my 55 blue spot Jawfish
and
one in my 90 Black cap

both died, I had the blue spot for 2 months and my tank went crazy on me and the black cap lasted two days and I never saw him again.

Are they safe with Pipefish?

Jawfish are totally safe with Pipefish. Kevin has them together, in his front display. A fish that is NOT safe with pipefish, and can be a surprise to a lot of people, is a Lawnmower Blenny. We found that out the hard way, BEFORE reading it on several different sites, and in Scott W Michael's "Marine Fishes."

I feel like I saw the purple version at Barbie's store today....but I am often wrong about such things.

Slate, you are correct. So that was you I was visiting with? LOL. Those would actually make for a pretty unusual and beautiful addition!!

Yea, I didn't realize it till I got home and was browsing pics while acclimating those snails and saw one of you and Angie. I felt like a fool for not just being more forward seeing as you knew Barbie chances are you would have been on here in some form anyways :lol:.

Jawfish is DOPE! I have a Blue Spot Jawfish but I havn't seen it in a couple weeks.

If you have deep pockets maybe a Gem Tang, Pair of Candy Basslets or maybe a pair of Crosshatch Triggers even though not a true reef safe fish but they are beatiful!

Then let me correct that for you

Gem Tang is crazy 3500.00 bucks!!!

Lets just get a purple and paint white dots on it.

 

[returnofsid]

Ahhh, but a Gem Tang is BLACK, with white, sometimes diamond shaped, dots on it. They ROCK, but aren't worth that kind of money, no matter how hard they are to find!!
