Almost got one of these MONSTERS from the fish market today -
they were $39/lb!

would've been a pretty crazy tankmate for the barra the more i think about it glad i didn't get it.
i'm pretty decided on getting either -
* dither fish such as chromis, damsels, smaller bait fish or ballyhoo if i can find those
* the cleaner wrasse though i've read they can become annoying to fish in the long run
* sea bream (a striped one) or a sergeant major damsel
* striped surgeon tang or other tang
* lawnmower or molly miller blenny
* lookdown (selene volmer)
* aiptasia eating file fish
* other algae reef fish, starting to see hair algae & doing manual removal now.
the convict tang & possibly the blennies may be the only ones that may not adapt well in lower than 1.020, but as i've been reading more and more about how pet stores keep salt range, i think 1.017- 1.108 could be possible.
I'm at 1.014 now since i haven't bought salt in a while but i'd rather keep my tank more towards the marine side vs the freshwater side. if i can maintain 1.018 i can probably get some yellow tangs, the convict tangs, and other reef fish.
I just didn't want to get another predator fish that can get up to 2" so it was a good choice not to get the one i saw today.. but they're pretty cool though i just watched 10+ vids on them in the past few minutes. I'd rather eat one tbh but i just bought frozen takoyaki, green onion panckes, & some boba drink maybe next time
if i do get another predator fish it would most likely be the lookdown, another panther grouper, or if i come across something else here at the market like a red snapper or similar range.
