Marine marvels: Do you keep uncommon fish in your tank?
Many reef keepers keep the standard array of fish in their tank including clownfish, damsels, chromis, tangs, common wrasses, and other fish that can be found in nearly every local fish store. However, sometimes we come across unusual fish and, with some research, we are able to add them to our tanks and provide a healthy environment for them to thrive. Please tell us about your experience with keeping fish that may not be considered “mainstream”. Do you keep uncommon fish in your tank?
Pro Tip: Buying an uncommon fish that catches your eye can be very tempting, however it is important to understand their requirements before they are added to the tank so that you can create the space for them to thrive. This includes understanding elements like water parameters, tank size, compatibility with fish and coral, and any other challenges.
