The blue ribbon will be dead meat right away, and the lion fish will get the same treatment in the near future. The bird wrasse will do all right, but I would suggest a grouper or a sailfin tang. Trigerfish are my favorite. I have kept almost all of the species and I can promise you this. As bad as the clown trigger is going to be when it grows up, the Huma can and will be just as bad. Think about it like this, it's like putting a lion and a tiger in the same cage, and then think about what you would put in with them.

Longhorn Cowfish ~ Long-horned Cowfish

Cowfish, are Salt Water fish. Additionally, they require a very experienced fish keeper to keep them. You may find reading this article about <a href = 'http://animal-world.com/encyclo/marine/puffers/cowfish.php'>Cowfish</a> useful.

¡Hola! Es lamentable que usted está experimentando los problemas con tu acuario. Sin embargo, hay esperanza. Cambiar el 25% del agua cada 7 días, o una vez por semana. Asegúrese de que el acuario no está cerca de la luz del sol, y asegurarse de que la luz en el acuario, sólo lo hace durante 6-8 horas diarias. Ni más ni menos. Espero que esto ayude! Por favor, disculpe la calidad de mi español, soy un hablante nativo de Inglés.

I have a common cleaner wrass that hates my fire fish with a passion. One day they were fighting and actually ended up in my water over-outbox. I had the thing packed with bio balls to keep any fish (ie dimond goby) from getting into my sump. I have no clue how they got through all of them. It just goes to show that they A) Do dig through anything they can...to include bioballs and that B) they do jump.

I lived in Monterey Bay, CA for a while. There were tons of these along the shoreline. Why doesn't the map show them off the Californian coast? Is it a different type? Or just likely that they have been introduced into the area on purpose or accident?

Dark-spotted Moray Eel ~ Fimbriated Moray Eel

Thank you Charlie! I read something in my google searches about 'de-skinning' the peas? I did so, as I thought she may be constipated, and she went after them quickly and ate many! I will do this for the next 2 days and see what happens. I love this fish tons. She has a great personality and I toy with the idea of her very own facebook page.

WOW definitely sounds like you know what you are doing. I don't know from description what it could be. Try looking at symptoms in <a href = 'http://animal-world.com/encyclo/fresh/information/Diseases.htm'>Fish Disease<a/>

I previously posted here regarding my Black Moor (a year ago) and at that time knew NOTHING about these awesome fish! I started with a 20 gallon tank and feeding koi pellets. Now Marvin is in a 44 gallon tank and is fed a mix of nori, blood worms, peas, and fish veggie flakes. I make little ice cubes with the above ingredients mixed together and defrost one at a time. Marvin is about 8 inches long with fin and without, about 5 inches. She does have discoloration on her 'butt', not sure what else to call that portion of her body? Unfortunately every time I tried to introduce a new fish, it just didn't work out. One died of fin rot and the other died of anchor worm and infected Marvin as well. At one point she had approximately 35 of those suckers!! Thank goodness she is a larger fish so my husband and I were able to tweeze them off and medicate her after the fact (melafix/salt baths). We change 25% of her water weekly and 75% about every month or so. Here is my new worry, being a fish hypochondriac, today I noticed her floating, like she is nodding off and then 'comes to' and swims or shimmies a bit and then starts to sink a little. I am sure water is good, no diet change and I cannot see any other issue but the discoloration? It is light gold, about the size of a quarter. She is a fat fish, definitely doesn't starve. Help? I wish I could put a picture up here.

Hypothetically, yes. However, the fresh water feeder fish will endure great stress before they are eaten, as they are fresh water, and not salt water. I would not recommend the act.

Wow lots of room! Sounds like this will be a very COOL tank once you slowly add your inhabitants! I noticed when my clowns do not have an anemone to host (which they do not need to live) if I make a little cave or cozy overhang, they will use that instead. Otherwise, hovering at the top is not a big deal, and they will adjust. They, at times like to "host" the heater or power-heads. No worries, just as long as they are not gasping for air, you are fine. With a tank that big, you can actually have another pair of clowns (not maroons, they are mean) like a pair of pink skunks, ocellaris, or clarkiis. Introduce the other pair into the other end of the tank. I had a 150 with 3 pairs of clowns, each had their own anemone and everyone was cool with each other. I had a pair of tomatoes, perculas and skunks.
