Adding Saltwater Fish to Shallow Reef Tank

[@DannysAquariums]

*Tell me about your reef tank setup in the comments!* Yes, the wrasse will eventually be too big for the tank and might cause problems. More reason to buy a bigger tank soon. Waiting for my custom lid to arrive and get rid of this diy lid with holes in it for oxygen lol. ;) Do you have the *_notification bell_* enabled? Make sure you do! ;)

[@owenreaney6864]

I do have the notifications on. That’s how I came so fast and I love the color choice

How about some Clownfish (Nemos)???😍

Buy some snowflake clown fish

Pro tip: you can watch movies at flixzone. Been using them for watching all kinds of movies lately.

[@Lippitydo]

watching you catch those gobies with that small net is the most exhilarating part of my day so far xD that wrasse stands out so nice in your tank too!

[@DannysAquariums]

Glad you like the wrasse haha! :D

[@LayneWilson]

I had a tank crash on our 75 gallon when we left for vacations every pump in the tank broke must of been a power surge! Lost corals we’ve had since I was a toddler! But we still have two isolation tanks that had some choice pieces. Luckily! Now we are in the process of a 450 gallon multiple tank setup. Im so excited! We will be able to keep back ups of everything. Im really enjoying your channel and love your tank! Thanks!

I briefly watched two of your videos for the first time a few minutes ago, and I couldn't help but subscribe immediately. I love how peaceful and relaxing your videos are, and the tank is stunning too! Absolutely loved it.

[@nathansaquaticsexotics9239]

In my experience clowns are really aggressive and will attack the goby

[@LayneWilson]

The fun part adding new stuff! 😁 Congrats on the new additions!

[@fishgeek90]

The wrasse is a nice fish, but doesn't fit your tank. He will grow to over 30cm and is a rockmover (he will start to flip small rocks to check for food). Also he currently has his juvenile coloration, he will completely change his color when becoming an adult. www.meerwasser-lexikon.de/tiere/213_Coris_gaimard.htm The gobies are a cool fish for the tank, but you might want to get a pistol shrimp as symbiosis partner for them. They will watch the shrimp while it digs the burrow for both. Fitting pistol shrimps would be Alpheus randalli or Alpheus bellulus.

[@nathansaquaticsexotics9239]

But pistol shrimp might kill any cleaner shrimp, right?

[@evandevita7664]

True but the red Coris wrasse takes ages to grow and Danny bought it small. It’ll be fine for a couple years.

[@Lippitydo]

when it gets too big, he'll have to set up a bigger tank for it. im okay with that xD

[@thomasgaal1908]

@@nathansaquaticsexotics9239 No 🤦 thats bullshit. but Mantis shrimp will kill everything

[@DannysAquariums]

Correct, as Lippitydo mentioned, either I will be setting up a bigger tank for it or give it to someone. I don't like pistol shrimp one bit, I have one in my 10-gallon reef tank and wish I never bought it lol. ;)

[@DadeWilliams]

awesome additions, I love the colors, I got a royal grandma, yellow wrasse, cardinal, diamond goby, mocha clown, cleaner shrimp, and peppermint shrimp"I'm pretty sure he's still around"

Great choice of fish my friend. I absolutely love my Suntail goby and pistol shrimp. Good skills of catching them and putting them in the tank - mine ended up on the carpet! Loved the video.

I think bangaii cardinals would look great in your set up. I've heard that red coris wrasses can be a little challenging to keep so hopefully this one is used to aquarium life

I’ve always seen these gobies but haven’t heard a lot about them. Can’t wait to see how they are! As for more fish, you definitely can and should get more! I like to have a stocking that encompasses all fish swimming behaviors, so I’d love to see some perching fish, a cavernous fish (basslets and Blennys), and a top water fish! You only have a red Coris, a six line, and a pair of gobys right?

[@DannysAquariums]

Correct, only those fish so far. A lot of people are saying I'll have problems keeping these fish, we'll see. They've been in the tank for over a month now and are doing great! ;)

[@gentlemanreefer6105]

I got the same wrase. It's beautiful and does a great job but as it grows it starts messing around turning everything upside down. I gave up and gave it. Keep an eye on it and enjoy your beautiful tank. Congratulations on your excellent videos and amazing tanks.

Thank you! Yeah, I'm definitely keeping a close eye on it. So far, so good. It has been in the tank for over a month now.

[@andrefaria7284]

Danny, how are you keeping the temperature in this tank? HVAC? What temperature are you maintaining? Love your videos! It made me set up a nano reef (ADA 60-F).

[@nilsvestergren3329]

A reef tank is not complete without fish. The gobies are an excellent choice but aren't you afraid that the coris wrasse will be too big for your tank? However I'm happy to not see any clown fish without an anemone.

[@DannysAquariums]

Eventually, it has to move. To a bigger tank... xD

Great vid dude!!! Those fish are awesome! What is the name of the wrasse? I think you need to add a pair of clownfish.

Don’t get too many fish though because that could lead to an imbalance

[@bobdobslob]

I'd say limit the fish to just a few, just so you don't have to deal with nitrate and ammonia spikes. But you are meticulous in cleaning, so you might not have that issue. 👍🏻😀

[@DannysAquariums]

Yeah, I'll only keep a few fish in here. Not overstock it. ;)

[@gabrieleiri3882]

Hello,I love your videos I gotta say that your clam died because ur tank is still pretty new and they need tanks very mature

[@DannysAquariums]

It didn’t die because of that, the peppermint shrimp started attacking it. That caused it. I caught them eating it while the clam was still alive.

[@vanedgaralcaraz7978]

That wrasse will flip/rearrange your unstable rocks and frags that will eventually stress out corals. I’ve had an adult one and ended up with stressed corals that died so i had to give it away.

[@DannysAquariums]

I'll keep a close eye on it.

[@lyndsayhammond6884]

What is on your powerhead? Filter floss?

[@DannysAquariums]

Correct, usually when I do maintenance I add filter floss to get rid of any debris in the water column.

[@shellbystidepooling8696]

Most people on KZbin don't have acrylic tops on their tanks because they are afraid of gas exchange problems, I think that as long as some gas exchange is happening with the filter it is fine. However, I do think that the condensation on the panel can decrease par. What is your experiences with that and why did you decide to go for the cover?

[@DannysAquariums]

The cover is on there temporarily, so the fish don’t jump out. It will be replaced with a nice cover as soon as possible. ;) Haven’t had problems with it, don’t have a par meter so can’t tell you the measurements.

[@shellbystidepooling8696]

@@DannysAquariums Thanks for the reply! When I start my reef tank I was hoping to do a glass cover, but people have been scaring me away from it. So I was excited to see yours.

For the love of all things holy pls pour/siphon water out of the bucket to make the water level lower for easier much less stressful catching for the fish

lower the water level in the bucket if you want to catch them. Then they can't jump so high.

[@DannysAquariums]

Thanks for the tip, Bjorn!

[@usaaddicts9346]

@@DannysAquariums happy to. If they have just enough water too keep them submerged it’s enough. So they can’t build up the speed to jump. If you had to catch a few from the ground you learn stuff.

Where is the six lined wrasse

[@spongy6015]

I recommend 3 spotted garden eels. They are great for these kinds of reef tanks, and live in the reef naturally anyways. They also aren't hostile and small, so if you put them in with the other fish they'd probably be fine. Although they might be a bit agitated when you put them in.

[@nathansaquaticsexotics9239]

Garden eels aren’t a very good choice because they might eat some inverts also they are not extremely hardy
