Hogfish are related to and share many qualities with wrasses. They are easy to keep and have healthy appetites for invertebrates, especially shrimp, however larger species may attack crustaceans, snails, worms and starfish among others. They do not bother corals or anemones, but may flip over rocks in their search for food. Large species may also bully or eat small fish, but they are typically nonaggressive with other large fish as long as they have a different shape. Similarly shaped fish are seen as a threat and may be targeted.They will hide within the rockwork to sleep, but when threatened may dive into the sand for protection. They can even swim under the sand to avoid predators. A fine sand bed of at least 2-3 inches will help them feel secure. Rocks should be placed on the aquarium glass and sand poured around them to eliminate the danger of a cave-in when the hogfish dives in.Hogfish feel most secure when there is plenty of live rock to hide in, as well as open space for swimming. They should be fed two to three times a day plenty of high quality meaty items, frozen Mysis shrimp, krill, chopped seafood, marine algae and Spirulina. They usually learn to take dry foods as well.The Spanish hogfish is a bright daffodil yellow over most of its body contrasting with an intense violet saddle on its back. Scarlet highlights its fins and eyes making this a bold tri-colored fish. It is commonly available from the Caribbean. Males and females are identical. It sometimes has the beneficial habit of cleaning its fish tank mates. It grows up to 10 inches and requires an aquarium of at least 150 gallons.
The Spiny Astrea snail eats many types of algae including hair algae. Its shell has small spikes all over. It stays small at 1.5 inches which allows it to reach small crevices in the live rock. It should be placed right side up on the sand after acclimation. It is adapted to rocky habitats; if it falls onto its back on the aquarium's sand it is not physically able to flip over and must be assisted. Snails are extremely sensitive to changes in water quality.
Spotted Blue-eye Rainbowfish Pseudomugil gertrudae Rainbowfish is a broad name given to a few different families of fish. In the aquarium trade, the most well-known being the Melanotaeniidae and the Bedotiidae. The most popular choice for aquariums fall under the family of Melanotaeniidae, known as the Pseudomugilidae genus. This species stays rather small, with the largest max size in a species being roughly 2". They are known as the "Blue Eyes" family because of one thing - their brilliant blue eyes. They are a peaceful family of fish that do their best while living in a group to feel safe and secure. Although they are peaceful, they are more suited to be housed with tank mates that are roughly the same size as them, as they may be more prone to shyness or being out competed for food. Rainbowfish are omnivores and should be fed a classic diet of meaty foods and algae-based foods. Gertrude's Spotted Blue Eye Rainbow Specifics The Gertrude's Spotted Blue Eye Rainbow prefer their water temperature between 74-82oF, their pH to be within 4.5-7.5, and a dKH of 12-15. They grow to a size of roughly 1-1/2" and swim in schools of at least 6 or more, meaning they are great for a 10g minimum tank
Anthias are active, colorful, reef safe, and generally quite peaceful fish. They pose little to no danger to any other aquarium inhabitant, other than small competing zooplanktivores, such as dart fish and flasher wrasses, which they may chase into hiding.The key to success with anthias is frequent feeding. Because of their activity level they have a very high metabolic rate, and should be fed a minimum of three times daily. Diet should include plenty of high quality meaty items such as frozen Mysis shrimp, marine algae and Spirulina, enriched brine shrimp and Calanus. Anthias are such enthusiastic feeders they usually learn to eat dry foods quickly, but if they are fussy the dry food can be mixed in with the frozen to encourage consumption. A refugium is helpful in supplementing the main aquarium with live prey items. Additional supplements and vitamins may also aid in maintaining the fish's vivid colors.Anthias are prone to jumping from the aquarium when startled or excited so we recommend a secure lid. In the wild most anthias species are found in huge shoals consisting of mainly females and juveniles. In the aquarium they are perfectly happy alone, but if a shoal is desired the aquarium must be of sufficient size to ensure the smallest and weakest fish have space to escape the larger and more aggressive members. A group of at least six females added together can work, and in time the largest fish transforms into the dominant male. He is typically brighter and more colorful than his harem. If he will be added together along with his shoal then as many females and juveniles as possible should be added.The Square Spot anthias is one of the largest and most recognizable species. Males are overall intense magenta with a large square mark on their sides. The edges of their fins as well as this square shine especially bright pink, and their fins may sport many colored dots like confetti. Females are a bright tangerine color all over. It grows up to 8 inches; we recommend an aquarium at least 125 gallons for a single fish and larger for a pair or harem. It does not mix well with other anthias.

Damsels are active, coral -safe fish, often with bright colors, especially when juvenile. They are typically safe with invertebrates; however, some large species may attack small shrimp. They are known to be aggressive towards other fish, especially fish added to the aquarium after they are established; they may chase and bite the other fish. We recommend an aquarium of at least 30 gallons for damsels which grow to 3 Inches, and at least 50 for larger species. They are typically easy to feed on a variety of frozen or dried meaty and vegetable foods.Damselfish are extremely hardy and able to survive a wide array of aquarium conditions. They are related to chromis and clownfish.The Staghorn Damsel is a more peaceful damsel and won't really bother any other fish in the reef aquarium. It may become territorial to other damsels of the same species. These damsels are easily kept and are a great beginner fish. Grows up to 3.0 Inches.
Sterba's Corydora Corydoras sterbai Corydoras, or Cory Cats, are incredible little bottom dwellers that add some life to the bottom of your tank. Corys are peaceful and prefer to spend their time sifting through the top layer of your substrate alongside other Corys. They are recommended to be kept in groups of at least 6 others, but more may be added as well. Corydoras are omnivores, they will appreciate being provided with a well-balanced diet of quality flake food, frozen food, and/or live food. A tank of 20 gallons is recommended for a school of Corys, as they grow only to 2 inches. Providing them with a planted aquascape is preferred as they like shaded areas to hide and sift through. Smoother/softer gravel will be a better fit for these fish, their soft facial barbels are prone to being damaged on rougher substrates and surfaces while they are cleaning up. Sterba's Cory Cat Specifics Sterbai Corydoras are a social schooling fish that grow only to 2-1/2". They prefer a temperature between 70-77oF, a pH between 6-8, and a dKH between 2-25
The Striped Top Hat is a fantastic algae eater with a white shell, often covered in colorful coralline algae. Its shell may reach 2.5 inches tall.

Tiger Barb Puntigrus tetrazona Barbs are a fun, loud personality to add to your peaceful home aquarium. They are quite active in the aquarium, and because they tend to want to school in groups of at least 5, more timid fish or long finned fish should be avoided as tank mates. Barbs are omnivores, meaning they should be supplied with a varied diet of high- quality flake food and meaty frozen shrimp. Tiger Barb Specifics Tiger Barbs are one of the most recognizable freshwater fish that are popular within community tanks. Tiger Barbs grow to a size of 3", so a 30g aquarium for a school of at least 5 fish would be preferable. Their water temperature should be between 74-79oF. pH between 6.0-7.0, and a dKH between 4-10.
The famous Black Footed Trochus, or Red Banded snail is famous for its voracious appetite for algae and its ability to flip itself over from its back. This ability makes it one of the most appropriate snails for small aquariums and those with open sand or bare bottoms. It should be placed right side up on the sand after acclimation. Their rasping teeth are able to scratch acrylic, so are recommended only for glass aquariums. Snails are extremely sensitive to changes in water quality.
