Your top 3 best fish (Nice, peaceful and reef safe)

[Zack K]

I bought a copperband butterfly fish but it seams still not eating in the QT

Any idea and experience with dealing with it?

IME start with live brine then work your way to frozen.

Why are the lepard wrasses so hard to keep?

Why are the lepard wrasses so hard to keep?

They do not do well with stress....it effects them a lot more than normal fish, I just had the awesome experience with getting one in and I was worried like crazy for a week. But left it alone, didn't stress it out, and she is doing fantastic....

Banggai cardinals,
six line wrasse
neon cleaner goby

I also love neon dottybacks, but can't recall whether they're reef safe?
Oh! Anglers are reef safe, too, huh? But hard to keep...

Acura damsel is aggressive fish! Right?

No, never had problems with it, the yellow tailed damzel is 10 times more aggressive. In my opinion in the Damzel family not all damsels are aggressive, for example the Azura and Sapphire Damzels are just a few to name.

Yellow tail damsels are the bane of my existence, as a retail minion. Every shipment of assorted damsels includes at least 2, and almost no one buys them... and I only have so many tanks to divide them up into!

I agree, my Azure was at the bottom of the pecking order in my tank behind a bunch of fairy and flasher wrasse. Only a firefish (N. magnifica) was at the same rung he was and they were pretty much equal, living in the same rock pile.

I buy them though I like them too, just add them last

They're gorgeous!
But the last one I sold was likely going to become lionfish food. :/

I wish they sold more often; they're gorgeous, and only, like, $6.

 

[JDM213]

Why are the lepard wrasses so hard to keep?

Because most of the time they won't eat frozen or dry food and they will only eat copepods and once the population of copepods is low in the tank they will starve and die.

2) Yellowfin Flasher Wrasse
