    an update:

    both fish are greatly recovering frome the "scratches" or whatever they have. The female only has an area left on the head and the males has reduced. I've been dosing with stress-zyme to help improve the water quality so i think this has helped. So now it's just getting the females weight up

    Good looking list you have!

    I love the "Emo Nemos"! :)

    I am kind of shocked you are stocking with smaller fish like that without 1 "attraction" fish like an Angel or something...

    Maybe even add some Seahorses?? I dont know if they would be compatible with anything you have in your tank though.... I just like seahorses... lol

    Nice to see life in your tank now! :D

    haha i love the Emo Nemo one too

    I would love to have an Angel but their FOWLR *fish only with live rock* and not reefsafe. And their usually under semi-aggressive. They also get to big for my tank, so it sucks and i have to go with smaller sized fish.

    I would loveeeeeeeeeee to have seahorses but they need extremely special needs and a species only tank.

    My center piece fish is going to be the wrasse. I'm also rethinking the blenny because it might cause issues, espcially with the dartfish, so the blenny might be coming off the list. And be replaced with another smaller sized and peaceful fish or get one more of the dartfish

    I kind of like watchman gobies the yellow and the spotted are great little fish that are reef safe and will fit your tank.
