AlgaeBarn sells fish that are both reef safe and captive bred, making them perfect for the reef aquarium.Ĭaptive bred fish are born and raised in captivity. Most aquarium stores sell reef safe fish, but most of those fish are probably not captive bred. Some examples of popular reef safe fish are clownfish, tangs, and gobies. Typically, reef safe means a fish does not cause any harm to corals or inverts and is somewhat peaceful towards other fish. The Frogfish is another extreme example of a fish that will not harm corals but is known to devour fish its own size. One could have a Coral Beauty in a tank that leaves corals alone, while a Coral Beauty in another tank is nipping on corals all day. There are also fish that are generally both coral and invert safe but will occasionally nip at a coral. This fish is coral safe, but not invert safe. For example, the Melanurus Wrasse will not harm any corals but is known to go after smaller shrimp or any shrimp it can fit into its mouth. There are some fish, especially wrasses, that will not touch corals but may go after some inverts. Reef safe can also mean fish that won’t eat other fish. Others will say it can not bother inverts or crustaceans either. Many hobbyists will consider a fish that does not bother corals to be reef safe.
The term “reef safe” can mean a lot of things. For this reason, it is very helpful when a company such as AlgaeBarn has reef safe fish for sale. It takes a lot of time, effort, and money to grow beautiful corals, which makes it very annoying when a fish is nipping away your corals. Although, the coral is certainly what causes the most satisfaction and frustration. The reef aquarium hobby is about having corals, fish, and inverts all live in one ecosystem in our homes. If it were, it would be called the saltwater fish hobby (for some people it is that). Otherwise, it would be called the coral hobby.
