After breaking my heart with an aquarium cost video this is what I needed.

[@MadHattersReef]

[@trureef2319]

Jeff, nice meeting you today. Hope you had a safe ride home and found the Fragtoberfest in CT interesting and enjoyable.

[@MadHattersReef]

It was great meeting you as well!

[@semisuccessfulreefer220]

I think this video is perfect, been running reefs for over 25 years and did all the bullshit must have fishes ( powder blues) ...current 120 tank is absolutely full of a variety of damsels and I absolutely love it...so lively and fun...and cheap! Well done Hatter

[@scottfloyd9794]

I have had all of these through the year but have about half of them as we speak between my 2 tanks. Only one missing in my option is the royal gramma. I have one in each tank and love the personality and a must in my tanks.

[@neptunesaquarium19]

Great vid thanks for the list I’m going to get a clown goby and a bicolor Bennie for my nano tank

[@seanharvey9199]

I put in my cardinal fish and fiefiah in first then clown fish and because of this video I found out a lot more about how they are almost perfect together, thank you so much my dude

[@garrett4299]

I have a female yellow prawn goby that I named Cheryl 😂she’s such a great fish and kinda just keeps to herself. I love their permanent grump face! I’d also mention the striped blenny. Despite the venom, mine was very friendly and hung out with my flurry ocellaris clownfish a lot

[@MadHattersReef]

Awesome stuff. Thanks for sharing!

[@gamerdad313]

I just started new 2nd salt tank n gave me good idea for a starter kit

[@TodaysEscapade]

Nice list! Very informative

[@MadHattersReef]

Thanks for watching

[@MPrz59]

I have a starry blenny and he is huge but he is a gentle giant

[@nikitamila]

My yellowtail damsel is very peaceful and doesn't bother anything else in my tank (and I added him first too)

[@falcolf]

That's really reassuring because I want one!!!❤❤

[@lisadimercurio9473]

The azure damsel is more peaceful. Great list!!

[@justinmccain1896]

I have a married stepbrother who work as a construction worker for 18 years. Who owed a 125 gallon marine aquarium that well established tank . Hidden carpet anemones 3 of those . c 3

[@stevenluther2347]

Awesome video as always

[@mickflury]

big sub. grate vids bro.

[@MadHattersReef]

Thanks for the sub!

[@abuanwp]

Damsel is nice in a large tank because this keeps swimming around ang checking every corner of your stones. Unlike the clown fish which almost always stay around 1ft cube of space. lol

[@RogueAquariums]

I have a bi color blenny & you’re right as they can be obnoxious which mine is. 😁

[@TrueMesa]

Damsel fish are jerks but super hardy. I have a 4 stripe damsel in my pico 5.5g and he tore a hermit crab out of its shell and devoured it. That goes to say recently I had a over population of amphipods eating my zoa colonies dropped them in his tank and he decimated them. I have a friend that has e in his redsea and they dont seem to bother anything with enough space

[@MadHattersReef]

That’s the craziest thing I’ve heard about damsels.

[@milkshaketurtle7937]

When i was a more naive aquarist, the store got me to buy two damsels and a clownfish once my rank had cycled. One of the damsels literally tore apart the other damsel, and was chasing my poor clownfish around until he was pale from stress :( Tool me like 3 hours to catch that asshole to send him back.

[@chickencr0ssroad883]

I call them DAMNNNN SELFISH

[@merpz8820]

Great video!

[@Mike__B]

Picked up a couple PJ cardinals a month or so ago, mostly because they were cheap at $8 a piece. Also got the Bangaii too at $10 each. (Man it's nice to have a LFS that has fish cheaper than online prices!) lots of cardinal fish are cheap right now too.

[@garydisher3213]

Cool video and funny couple of those fish are expensive in canada

[@MadHattersReef]

That’s kinda funny but not for 🇨🇦

Can you do a top 10 50 gallon saltwater tank

[@Moltosanti13]

Another great video, it's funny where I am from in Canada all the fish you named are 20$ to 30$ more then the price you gave lol .

[@MadHattersReef]

Sorry to hear about that.

[@gradedcards7599]

Do you think you could update the list if your able to? I love watching ALL of your videos!!! I use them as reference when deciding for new fish!

[@MadHattersReef]

Great idea!

[@MadHattersReef]

I mean on updating...

[@eugenerivera4327]

What do you think of the famous mantis shrimp

[@MadHattersReef]

Never kept one.

[@jayheintz]

I have a yellow tail damsel, bangai cardinal, six line wrasse and a clown. Biggest jerk in the tank by far... The clown. I cant seem to put any new fish in the tank now because he is relentless with any newcomers. He will even bite me if I have to put my hand in the tank for something. Seems like fish just have their own personalities sometimes. Any suggestions for a way to add a new tank mate? And is there a suggestion for what kind of fish to try if I do?

[@opethmike]

Groups of firefish almost always end up killing each other.

[@keithwilliamson3746]

I meant I meant top 10 50 gallon fish for saltwater

What’s that website so I can identify something in my tank

[@travisoglesbee769]

Nice

[@MadHattersReef]

Thanks for watching

[@nathanmoore7142]

I have had 4 of those fish. Couldn't keep the chromis ether. Currently have the clowns which are about 10 years old. They bullied the yellow tail damsels and killed them. Also have the bangie cardnal fish. Spot on with some of those. Haven't seen some of them in my LFS. But will keep looking. What are your thoughts on a blue tuxido urchen? I had one for years but it didn't survive the tank upgrade. I want another love the way they look.

[@MadHattersReef]

I’ve never kept one but I will someday.

[@nathanmoore7142]

@@MadHattersReef they are a great addition to the tank. Had mine for 3 years.

[@SlattKyle]

What would happen if I add a yellowtail damsel and 2 clownfish at the same time?

[@thatfishguy4991]

Omg when did they stop calling them Bangaiis and start calling them Kaisern’s cardinal

[@fishfan2]

Its probably a regional thing, they are still Banggais here in Socal

[@ricosaquariums7992]

👊👍

[@evanbardiel210]

What makes me sad is every fish on this list is close 30$ a piece at my lfs. I paid over 35$ for my starry blenny. A bangaii is like 30 a piece. Even pajama cardinals are over 30$

[@drewt1]

These prices don’t include shipping and box fee anyways tho. So if you aren’t spending more than $150 online then it’s pretty much the same price.

[@LolBrat123]

How do I keep aggressive fish with semi Aggressive fish and peaceful ones

[@neptunesaquarium19]

Add the Peaceful then semi then aggressive and over feed so there’s no battle for food

[@nazzzzz77777]

In canada these are priced at 5 times more

[@oliver7011]

Damsel is a jerk, he/she is forever in the QT tank for corals. Also I agree on chromis, I had a school of 7, looked great, but they are fragile. I lost 4 to get that school level in QT and they have a special disease to them! So it’s hard to keep if LFS is infected!

[@MadHattersReef]

Thanks for watching!

[@usedburrito5343]

Idk why but my Chromis have always died

[@chasejohnson2550]

Pajama cardinals are so ugly in my opinion lol idk why they are so popular lol

[@opethmike]

Also, the chromis are famous for not schooling well. Stick with one chromis and you will be fine. Just be sure to properly quarantine for uronema treatment at a minimum.

[@MrMushroomish]

Why would you recommend the blue green chromis if you have never had luck on it? I understand you have heard of people who have had luck with it, but come on.
