Australian Reef
Hi all.
I have been rethinking my 60g cube tank i have and have decided on doing a Australian based reef.

60g cube.
Fish stock list:
2x occ. clownfish
1x scotts fairy wrasse
1x flame angel
1xgoby of sorts


Im hoping these are mainly Great barrier reef fish?? but i have no idea as fishbase.com only searches by country.
tell me what you think. and are all of these reef safe? i wanna try reef again after i get a chiller

PS ferretfish: i found your fish again at my LFS you should move countries

I have no idea the whereabouts of the fish....however I know that flame angels are known to pick at corals sometimes. I think it's about a 50/50 risk putting a flame angel into a reef tank.

Everything else ooks okay.

Ohhh Patchy, you have no idea how jealous I am.

Anyway...

He's right about the flames. You basically have a 50/50 shot, but even if you have one you think is reef safe, it could turn on you at any minute. They can not pick for months, and then all of a sudden change their minds. They're crazy like that. Gorgeous fish though. Very pretty. If god forbid, I ever had a tank without corals? I'd get one in a flash.

Is Scott's fairy wrasse the solorensis fairy wrasse? Or no?
