Yellowtail Blue Damsel, Chrysiptera parasema is commonly found in the Indian and Pacific oceans and is characterized by the bright yellow body and fins. The Chrysiptera genus are omnivores that thrive with a variety of prepared and frozen foods. Damsels are hardy and are reef safe. They will swim actively at all levels of the aquarium. The Yellowtail Blue Damsel is generally peaceful and is a great fish for aquarists of all experience levels.
Panther Grouper, Cromileptes altivelis, is a beautiful, graceful addition to the home aquarium, if given the proper space to extend its flowing fins. As it hovers, its body displays an almost Clownfish like fluidity with its slow, undulating movements. Its white body with vivid black spots makes it a sure showpiece for the home aquarium. With the potential to grow to over a foot in length, the Panther Grouper should be kept only in larger aquariums. In the wild it darts through the coral reefs of the Indo-Pacific fulfilling its role as an opportunist predator while its spots act as camouflage to help prevent it from becoming a meal to even larger, more aggressive predators. In the home aquarium, it has little interest in corals, but may likely dislodge corals as it darts after its next meal. Crustaceans, being part of its natural diet, will likely be eaten. It welcomes a diet of smaller live fish -- upon which it can prey with a sudden, unexpected burst of speed -- and frozen krill or other meaty prepared foods. Because "high input" fish are also "high output" fish, an excellent filtration and biological system should be in place prior to introduction. Groupers should only be kept with other aggressive carnivores such as Triggers and Eels.
Candy Stripe Hogfish is a durable fish of great color that is great for a fish-only aquarium. Also known as the Blackspot Hogfish, Bodianus opercularis, this fish appears as a combination of the Two Spot Hogfish and Masuda's Hogfish. The coloration resembles Masuda’s with the bright red and white striping. It also displays the body and tail spot of the Two Spot. It grows to about seven inches in the wild and, likely, smaller than that in captivity. In aquariums of 55 to 90 gallons, it is best kept as the only Hogfish. In larger aquariums, groups may be introduced simultaneouslyCandy Stripe Hogfish is a durable fish of great color that is great for a fish-only aquarium.

Spotted Sweetlips, Plectorhinchus chaetodonoides, undergoes a change from juvenile to adult that is almost amusing to observe. In its juvenile stage, it is a brown-maroon fish with relatively large white blotches. As it transforms to the adult coloration of white with small, dark spots, its juvenile white areas sometimes become elongated and sometimes fill with dark spots. The juveniles of the species swim with a unique motion, they hover and ambulate their bodies in a manner similar to an Ocellaris Clownfish. Once established, it has little interest in corals, but may eat any shrimp, snails, or worms; any crustaceans, being part of its naturalSpotted Sweetlips, Plectorhinchus chaetodonoides
Dark and elegant, Hippocampus reidi is a great addition to a species aquarium or peaceful aquarium with other inhabitants where the correct environment can be provided. Reidi Seahorse are indigenous to US and South American Atlantic waters. Specimens sold by PetSolutions are, however, Tank Raised to help assure that only the hardiest and best colored are shipped. Also known as the Brazilian or Longsnout Seahorse, it is possible to breed the Reidi. The female will deposit eggs to an adapted pouch on the belly of the male. The male will care for the developing eggs. After the eggs hatch, the pouch opens and the male goes into labor rearing broods of up to 1,500! Live and frozen foods are best for this true carnivore. Small Saltwater Feeder Shrimp make the best food to initially entice its appetite. Other foods, including Brine Shrimp, Plankton, and Zooplankton, are also great staples. Because a diverse diet is good, some aquarists will also supplement with daphnia, baby guppies, or Mysis Shrimp. Seahorses are reef-safe, but may be bothered by some of the more territorial or larger reef-safe inhabitants. For fish only aquariums, a good general rule is to avoid any fish that is substantially larger than the Seahorse or that creates a great deal of activity. Seahorses like a calm environment, but still do require good water circulation. Seahorses prefer taller aquariums and do best when provided with a size of 25 gallons or more. Beautiful and graceful, the Reidi Seahorse is an exceptional and unique choice for the aquarist dedicated to providing proper care.
Bicolor Goatfish, Parupeneus barberinoides, is found in the Western Pacific ocean. Also known as the Dash and Dot Goatfish, Half and Half Goatfish, or Swarthy-Headed Goatfish, it has a unique coloration with a reddish-purple head and front body marked with white and yellow. The posterior area of the Bicolor Goatfish is primarily white with yellow streaks and black dots. Goatfish like to graze all day long in reef-protected lagoons. They feed mainly on worms, crustaceans, brittle stars, and small mollusks and heart urchins, but in captivity they will thrive with small, frequent feedings of a variety of meaty prepared and frozen foods. Goatfish are completely peaceful and do well individually or in schools.
Scientific Name: Xiphophorus Helleri
Bicolor Parrotfish, Cetoscarus bicolor, is a beautiful and intriguing fish that is best reserved for large, fish-only aquariums. Growing to over 30 inches in the wild, the Bicolor Parrot begins life as a brilliant white fish with a wide, sweeping orange band down in the area between the eye and the dorsal fin. Orange and black markings on the dorsal and caudal fins help this fish show its true splendor of color. Though it will not bother soft corals, it will chew chunks from stony corals with its beak-shaped mouth as it grazes for algae that may be growing on the skeleton of the coral. In the home aquarium, Parrotfish require multiple daily feedings of a varied omnivore diet that should include great portions of algae and seaweed sheets. Meaty frozen preparations should eventually be accepted as would a high-quality pellet food. Due to its thin volume, flake will likely not satisfy the appetite of this rabid-eater. Basically peaceful, it will rarely bother other fish (with the possible exception of other Parrotfish) and will even disregard invertebrates. It is not caught for food by natives of its indigenous areas because its flesh has been associated with ciguatera
Blue Gudgeon Goby, Ptereleotris heteroptera, is a fish that does best in a well-established aquarium and is recommended to keep in groupings. With a maximum length at around five inches, its size makes it perfect for large and for small aquariums. Also known as the Blacktail Dartfish Goby, it is a "leaper" and requires a covered aquarium. Its body is a blue-grey that fluoresces under actinic lighting. Its tail is marked with a pronounced black spot. It is completely peaceful against other species and of members of its own family. If more than one is to be placed in the same aquarium, it is best to introduce them simultaneously and to allow plenty of space. Be sure to house it with compatible aquarium mates that will not be overly aggressive or confrontational to the Blue Gudgeon Goby. It will accept a variety of foods including Brine Shrimp and bloodworms, and will typically accept flake food fairly easily. It does require frequent feedings to ensure best health.
The African Bluestripe Pipefish (Doryrhamphus excisus) is a fish that requires specialized care and conditions, and is recommended to be kept only by expert level fish keepers who have set up an aquarium specifically to keep Pipefish and/or Seahorses. These fish are extremely peaceful and should not be house with anything other than seahorses, other pipefish, and non aggressive invertebrates. Stinging corals and anemones could potentially harm pipefish and should be avoided in a habitat designed for these interesting fish.The African Bluestripe Pipefish (Doryrhamphus excisus) is a fish that requires specialized care and conditions, and is recommended to be kept only by expert level fish keepers who have set up an aquarium specifically to keep Pipefish and/or Seahorses.

Niger Trigger, Odonus niger, is commonly found in Australia, Red Sea, Indian and Pacific Oceans. It is sometimes referred to as Redtooth Triggerfish. A member of the family Balistidae, it was named by Ruppell, 1837. Triggerfish are very hardy, therefore they are great for those new to the hobby. Triggers of the genus Melichthys are not as commonly found in the aquarium hobby as some of their relatives. They are desired for being less aggressive than other Triggers. For this reason, this fish may be a better choice in aquariums where space is limited or with tankmates that are less aggressive.

It is an observant fish that is constantly aware of happenings around its hole/home. Opistognathus gilberti is great for aquariums of any size, but should be introduced first if kept with fish that may pick on it. The Tiger Jawfish, despite the association with the feline carnivore, is bascially peaceful and gets along with aquarium mates (excepting its own kind and possibly with small ornamental shrimp.) More than one should only be introduced in large aquariums where each can establish its own territory. A few inches of soft substrate must be provided to allow the Jawfish to establish its home. Jawfish are typically enthusiastic eaters who, as carnivores, like frequent feedings of meaty frozen foods, Brine Shrimp
One of the most endearing Hawkfish, the Oxycirrthites typus or Longnose Hawkfish comes from the Indo-Pacific Ocean. In the home aquarium, it can attain lengths around 5 inches. The Longnose Hawkfish, though typically completely peaceful with other tankmates, may not get along with other
