The requirements of all marine fish are basically straight forward, they need seawater with the correct parameters and stability. They also need security. Security is provided by the provision of suitable rocks which form caves and crevices. If the system is top be a reef then these caves etc will be automatically provided. This area is not the place to fully discuss seawater parameters, however there is an article on this site giving all of this information (Go to the Blog page, go to Catagories, click on Water Quality, then scroll to the text called 'Seawater Parameter Guidelines'). One type of fish I would strongly advise against could cause surprise as it seems ideal - it's hardy and eats well. Unfortunately, they are, to varying degress, very territorial and could cause great distress or even death to fish that are to live with them. These are damsel species. What you'll want is something that is colourful and interesting and shouts 'marine'. A fish that is hardy and will forgive some new aquarist mistakes (within reason!) is the so-called common clownfish (properly known as Amphiprion ocellaris). They are sociable and eat well. If you decide on one or two of these then try and get some home bred types, they are quite readily available and are reported to be even hardier in an aquarium than those from the wild. Wild clownfish live with anemones but you should not attempt this until you have some experience. Anemones are not that easy to keep and require lighting in the same way that corals do. The clownfish, especially home bred ones, will be quite happy without an anemone. Another very beautiful fish with a different colour is the royal gramma (properly known as Gramma loreto). This fish is a great addition to a system giving variation in colour and habit. Its sociable and should not cause any problem (remember all fish could argue from time to time but this is not nasty aggression). Another fish could cause some doubt when a picture of it is seen as it appears delicate. However, it is a good addition with the correct tank mates such as the ones listed above and below. The fish is the firefish (Nemateleotris species). There is more than one fish name in this family. They are slim with a long dorsal fin and again should not cause any problems. A final suggestion is the bicolour blenny (properly called Ecsenius bicolor). It has a longish body and again is different and shouldn't cause any problems. I suggest you go into an internet search engine and type in the suggested names - use the proper names for accuracy. From the list you will be able to find all the information you need and also see the fish in photographs. Fish need security, a correct and stable environment and a commitment to ongoing maintenance for success. The two watchwords of the marine aquarist are research and patience. Hello Sharma.
