Hi Alex great video yet again! earlier this week I got a purple firefish & I think it is a beautiful looking fish! When I turn the tank lights on, the purple round its head glows! 😀👍
I agree with all fish Alex except ..... you need a stunning flasher or fairy wrasse AND I would swap the Sunburst for a Borbonius. Other than that....... good call!
@@ReefDork Cheers Alex Need insurance for inside my tank!! Who sells it ? Cool videos and i love some of the things you come out with. Pmsl I have been today watching your videos👍🤣
To me personally a chalk basslet is somewhat of a must, as it's my favourite fish and for what it has to offer in terms of colour and hardiness it is very underrated. I'm kinda suprised that your "anthias that lives like a hawkfish" (I can't remember the correct nane) didn't make it on the list, as to me it's something I've seen nowhere other than your videos.
Hi will the two wrasses mix together well I have the yellow wrasse I'm just a bit nervous to add the naoko wrasse I'm following your list it's brilliant two clown fish and the yellow wrasse so far 🙂👌

hey you have a very informative videos here and i admire your tank. whats ur tank? red sea or other type? u recommend canister filter with uv strelizer instead of a sump? thanks
Please guide on adding fish order please. Iam setting up a 180gallon tank with minimalist rock structure. Similar to luo's reek tank. Sump is 65 gallon with brick media.. skimmer and refug. I want to keep 2 sets of clown fish occerlaris pair and black ice pair. Blonde Naso , powder blue,yellow, regal, one bristletooth(either 2 spot or sqaure tail)(maybe sailfin or not if advise). And six line, red coris and a pair of leopard wrasse. 2 or 3 blue green chromis. A foxface. A schooling banner. I like my wrasse and tangs very much. Please advise the order/method to put tanks. I plan to get small or juvenile if possible. Also please any utilitarian fish would be appricated.
Hi Alex I have a cleaner wrasse and an orange spot goby in my reefer 250 do you think a melanurus wrasse or silver belly/ yellow corus would be ok? 🤔 (just one from the list)
I had a pair of clowns, but they were very aggressive towards every other fish & actually killed two shrimps. Personally I don't think they are community safe & I probably wouldn't replace them, unless in a very large tank. I wouldn't put clowns in a 250 liter tank myself, even though they do look iconic just because I've seen clowns wreak havoc in small tanks.
@@ReefDork I guess every perc I've had was unlucky. I've had 8 over the years (one lived 14 years) and when one turns female they get nasty aggressive. I couldn't even clean the tank without having a hunk taken out of my hand. I had one in a tank with a small trigger and it killed the trigger lol
What is the second fish? I here the yellow wrasse but i dont understand the first word im very late too this video but I hope you see this. Love from Sweden!
@@ReefDork Ok thank you! Im saving up for a red sea reefer 250 to get inte to the hobby I only have freshwater tanks right now so im watching all your videos before i get the money
Ooh, haven't watched this video for a while. But it'll either be Halichoeres chrysus or Halichoeres leucoxanthus - those are the 2 I have. The chrysus is the brighter of the two.
Buy a bio cube or if you have more money by a red sea seems like your only options in the beginning than you realize biocubes aren't big enough for it all and you can get twice the tank for what red sea gives you for the money!
My advice would be don't pay such crazy high prices, there are many good used aquarium products at a a fraction of the cost. No way it is necessary to use all new or the suggested part shopping list by Reef Dork... for most people £5000 is out of the question!
"red sea" (in this context) is a company, which sells aquariums. when you look very closely at the title you will find, that he is not talking about "red sea reefs" but about the red sea reefer 250... which is a 54 gal tank. so this vid isnt about the best fish from the red sea, but about the best fish for that size of tank. www.redseafish.com/aquarium-systems/reefer/#data
1:33 Interesting... if a 1 spot foxface can live in a 55 gallon tank for multiple years, how long could one live in a 30 gallon tank before they outgrow it? 😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈
Yes, absolutely. Some varieties like maroon or tomatoes are more aggressive and all clowns can get territorial when they get older. But the overwhelming majority of people won't have aggression issues 🙂
Reef Dork mine are evil! Lol bite ya every time ya go in the tank, and chase anything that comes near their area. I’m about to rehome mine to the frag tank 😂
I don't care about tank model numbers. Is this a sponsored video? Just give tank size. For now, I'll assume since I don't have this specific model number, your advice is useless.
Always get a kick out of your Wall Paper ! Great Vid. ! Thanks !
Great list! I just bought a Lubbocks fairy wrasse last night. I have 3 blue streak cardinals and a mochavinci clown fish in my 32 gallon biocube now.

Revisiting this as I’m after ideas for my reefer 250. Much obliged sir 👌🏻

Great video with an excellent list of fish!!
Another great video Alex keep up the good work
Clownfish are a good and safe choice! 😊😊
Great Alex keep them coming.
What about flow, dosing chemicals and what? 👍🌝
I'm working on a series of simple guides to all that stuff. Watch this space... 🙂

Cheers Alex
Need insurance for inside my tank!! Who sells it ?
Cool videos and i love some of the things you come out with. Pmsl I have been today watching your videos👍🤣
🤣
I don't know of any insurance companies that will insure your livestock 🙁
Nice job! You forgot a few tangs, blennies (especially starry blenny and orange spot blenny), as well as a few gobies.
definitely gonna get that red one
Yet again a fantastic video!
could we get the stock list put in the description please 😊. Great video and lovely tank

Pygmy perchlet - great little fish 🙂
Very Cool fish ! New to me also . Great suggestion . Thanks !
I had a chalk bass, he was absolutely brilliant
Great vid.
Have you had any problems with any of your wrasse’s jumping out of your tank. I’ve read they recommend a lid.
They jump all the time but I have a cover.
Thank you!
Man any suggestions on a led light, im about to upgrade my tank, im about to set up a 55gal tank, any advise on led light, nothing fancy
I just keep watching that fish get blown around by the current in the beginning lol
He looked liked he was surfing

What beginner coral would you reccomend for a 25 gallon bowfront?
A nice toadstool would be good
@@ReefDorkthanks
I always forget that you have a peninsula tank and when I see the wall paper behind the tank I double take thinking it’s the back wall
do a list for the
REEFER 3XL 900
im looking for some red reef safe fish i have a 1000 gallon tank any recomendations ?
In a tank that size I'd go for a pair of scarlet hawkfish and I'd be prepared to risk a flame angel.
@@ReefDork Hey ive gotten a flame angel and im now just waiting for some hawkfish to appear in a shop near me thanks for your recomendations :)

Will the fox outgrow the Reefer 350?
Eventually, but it'll be years.
What's the name of the fairy wrasse at the top of the tank can't quite make out your words..lol??
Looking at getting one of these tank in a month or 2 do u think that my teko 500 chiller will fit beside the sump?
Don't know I'm afraid - check the red sea website for dimensions
Thanks for the response man. How long could I keep a small bristletooth tang, or maybe a tiny blue tang in one of these for
Royal gramma can be peaceful but also can get aggressive and territorial. Mine just killed a fire fish
oops and also, what is the "character wrasse" you mentioned that swims at the top and dive bombs your other fish? i like him too?
Naoko wrasse! Brilliant fish!
Hi Alex I have a cleaner wrasse and an orange spot goby in my reefer 250 do you think a melanurus wrasse or silver belly/ yellow corus would be ok? 🤔 (just one from the list)
Melanurus can get quite boisterous but the other two would be great

They can be aggressive, yes. Particularly the likes of Tomato and Clarkii clowns. But you can count yourself unlucky if you get aggressive percs 🙂

Yellow wrasse eat shrimps and feather duster worms in my experience
What is the second fish? I here the yellow wrasse but i dont understand the first word im very late too this video but I hope you see this. Love from Sweden!
It's just a yellow wrasse - I said ubiquitous which means they're found everywhere 🙂
@@ReefDork Ok thank you! Im saving up for a red sea reefer 250 to get inte to the hobby I only have freshwater tanks right now so im watching all your videos before i get the money
what is the name of the yellow wrasse you mentioned? is it just the simple yellow coris wrasse?
Ooh, haven't watched this video for a while. But it'll either be Halichoeres chrysus or Halichoeres leucoxanthus - those are the 2 I have. The chrysus is the brighter of the two.
Hi,
Is there a wrasse you can recommend for a 200l reeftank?
Yellow wrasse or silver belly wrasse would be fine.
@@ReefDork but they get more than 12 cm big, or am I wrong
@@jonathantabernig8741 live aquaria says 200L - I've kept both in a 3 footer of that size before and in a 120L for 6 months.
Do you have a list for the reefer 170. As i am getting one next week?
Check this out - ua-cam.com/video/UmvFCLYTxyE/v-deo.html
whats the name of the fairy wrasse that dive bombs?
Naoko wrasse
Is the order of the video the order you would introduce them?
I can't remember the full list but I don't think any are aggressive so personally I wouldn't be concerned about the order too much.
What skimmer are you using for your tank?
Nyos quantum 220
Buy a bio cube or if you have more money by a red sea seems like your only options in the beginning than you realize biocubes aren't big enough for it all and you can get twice the tank for what red sea gives you for the money!
Anyone know the name of the product on 1:22? I would love to have something like that instead of an algae clip
It's a Tunze care magnet
How about a Copperband butterfly?
Extremely finicky fish - better avoided in my opinion...
@@ReefDork already saw all your materials on CBB and know that pretty well ;) But I wonder if ~70 gal tank would be ok for CBB.
Why can't I find a yoko fairy wrasse on Google its like they dknt exist very confused ?????
Naoko wrasse
Could this list plus maybe a kole yellow eye tang work in a 4ft 75 gallon
I can't remember all the fish in it. But as long as the kole is the only tang, I'd say yes
@@ReefDork thanks
Excellent video really helpful just need to convince the wife now to let me part with £5000
There's plenty of other wives out there if she doesn't. 😂😂 better not let mine see that! 😬
😂😂😂
@@marya783 you won't regret it and she'll love it. 👍

Keep I look out for marine aquariums people are selling. I got £6000 set up for £1200.
What about a tomini tang
Check out your wrasse @ 0.44 😍😍😍
What's the type of your fairy wrassse plz
Red headed solon wrasse and a Naoko wrasse
250 liter or gallon
Red Sea reefer 250s are 250 litres 🙂
😁 🤘
Is the 250 in liters or gallons?
Litres
@@ReefDork OK thanks!
What kind of fairy wrasse? Rewound several times cant understand what hes saying 😬
Naoko wrasse 🙂
Thanks for that! Thought you were saying a-ok wrasse! 🤣
🤣
When are u getting rid of that wallpaper
Warning! Scarlet Hawk is a jumper and always hungry. I lost my one few weeks ago!
I have a pair of cardinal fish
So the term Red Sea reef tank is a misnomer?
"red sea" (in this context) is a company, which sells aquariums. when you look very closely at the title you will find, that he is not talking about "red sea reefs" but about the red sea reefer 250... which is a 54 gal tank. so this vid isnt about the best fish from the red sea, but about the best fish for that size of tank.
www.redseafish.com/aquarium-systems/reefer/#data
Yea pretty sure all fishes are jumpers just depends on the fish... 😞😞
Yellow tang?
Possibly but might get aggressive in a small tank.
👍
The best utility fish is a molly , they are cheap and live in saltwater and regular water
Look shit though
1:33 Interesting... if a 1 spot foxface can live in a 55 gallon tank for multiple years, how long could one live in a 30 gallon tank before they outgrow it? 😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈
Whatever fish can survive after the tank leaks all over your floor
Coris / chorus wrasse whichever u choose to say it is absolutely not reef safe ! At all
Clowns... Peaceful? I've had one jump out of the tank and bite my nose before!
🤣
Clowns. Peaceful!?
Yes, absolutely. Some varieties like maroon or tomatoes are more aggressive and all clowns can get territorial when they get older. But the overwhelming majority of people won't have aggression issues 🙂
Reef Dork mine are evil! Lol bite ya every time ya go in the tank, and chase anything that comes near their area. I’m about to rehome mine to the frag tank 😂
Little bastards! 🤣
I don't care about tank model numbers. Is this a sponsored video? Just give tank size. For now, I'll assume since I don't have this specific model number, your advice is useless.
Nope, not sponsored - just targeted specifically at RSR 250 owners. I chose that tank because it's probably the most popular tank for beginners 🙂
