Agreed!

How about a pair of Bangaii Cardinals? Another of my favorites, potentially you could get them breeding too.

I really want a pair and had it on the list originally. I heard they hide most of the time and wasn't sure if they'd be bullied.

May be I'll put them back on the list

Moved my Tail-spot blenny over yesterday. Was worried the Carpenter Wrasse was lonely.

Wrasse was a bit aggressive in keeping my Tail-Spot grounded and not allowed to swim around freely. Continuing a bit today on day two but leaving him alone if he's not swimming around.

That carpenter probably thinks he owns the tank now lol. Maybe move over another fish to divert his attention? I kinda regret getting my skunk cleaner - he’s annoyingly grabby, haha. But I can’t give him up.

What kind of bta do you have? I suspect might be the small “acid rain” ones? My clowns didn’t like them

The Tailspot and Carpenter seems to be swimming without problems now. I hope they become friends.

Yes, I can't get the clowns to host in these BTAs:

The bta’s stay small, right? Multiply quickly?
I ended up with 30-50 of them, and while they were very pretty and didn’t move all over, I finally re-homed them and got a rainbow that was bigger with longer tentacles. (Also don’t split as much thank god). Not saying that’ll do the trick for you, but it worked for me. Might be a good time to do that while you’re setting up new tank

Yes, good feedback, I have been considering not moving any of my BTAs into the new tank. I think I have 10 or 11 now

I've read some threads that Banggai Cardinals may eat small gobies. Few pics of a Firefish and a Tailspot that were eaten. I might skip the Cardinals now.

Maybe the 3 firefish. Is a RSM 250 big enough for 3?

After doing more research, I would not try to put 3 Firefish in a RSM 250. I may get 1 Purple Firefish though.
