Welcome to R2R. My experience is that clown fish are jerks.

Keep in mind with the long nose hawkfish, you can never add any Shrimps.Hello everybody, I have just purchased my first tank and am building the aquascape--excited to get started! I am from Phoenix AZ, but have been living in Johannesburg. I have a 26gal Peninsula cube (and Caribsea Special aragonite sand). For sure want to add some mixed corals (eventually), a tuxedo urchin (6months) and a longnose hawkfish. Am having a hard time deciding on another 1-2 fish to add, and in what order...I can read the compatibility charts, but it seems that somebody has a bad experience with every fish lol...Should I just add 2 clowns and be done? 1 clown, 1 cardinal, and hawkfish? Would a jawfish work? TIA!
Ok, thanks! Was going to steer away from shrimps and crabs, since I've read they can be jerks to coral haha.Keep in mind with the long nose hawkfish, you can never add any Shrimps.
I can see the hawkfish, the clowns, but the cardinal I’d change to a Royal Gramma, might to to busy for the cardinal.
The Jawfish, yup I think that works too.
Welcome to the reef!
Enjoy!
Hmm ok...what fish do you enjoy keeping instead? They're so common I can hardly imagine a tank without one XDWelcome to R2R. My experience is that clown fish are jerks.
I do have 4 of them total. Separate tanks. Didn’t say I didn’t enjoy them. But they are jerks. I like tangs. Chromis filefish anthesisHmm ok...what fish do you enjoy keeping instead? They're so common I can hardly imagine a tank without one XD
