Placing a saltwater fish tank at home, raising a few fish from tropical coral reefs, and sitting at home to enjoy the seabed scenery is undoubtedly the dream of many people. The seawater tank has the characteristics of different from any other type of fish tank, and its unique light, system and creatures make the sea tank its own school in the aquarium world. However, it is not easy to raise the sea tank, and countless professional terms such as atS system, Berlin system, and egg points have shown the complexity of the sea tank, and even the combination of marine fish is also a science. Compared with the fish in freshwater, marine fish often have a stronger territorial concept, their compatibility with freshwater fish is not at all in a grade, in the freshwater tank, as long as some of the more ferocious fish, polyculture is basically smooth, marine fish is not so, for them, there is no fierce, only can not be fierce, unless the body structure is not allowed, otherwise any kind of sea fish may become the god of war.
Here, based on my own experience and available information, I will list the seven types of fish that need the most attention and are prone to show strong aggression, which almost span various taxa of ornamental fish in the sea, and each species should pay more attention to when polyculture to avoid the worst-case scenario.
ATS system: The Full Name Algae Turf Scrubber Filter System is a filtration system that uses semi-aquatic green algae to absorb and eliminate nutrient salts in water, which is highly efficient but consumes magnesium (Mg).
Berlin System: The Berlin method uses living stones (coral reef fragments collected in natural waters) to construct a microhabitab in the sea tank, minimize external interference, and achieve homeostasis through the balance of the system itself.
Egg: Full name protein skimmer (Protein skimmer), a kind of equipment that uses the surface tension of bubbles to bring particles and soluble organic matter out of the water body to achieve purification effect, which is almost a must-have for sea tanks.

All species of the family Acanthuridae spp.
(Inverted hanging class, referred to as "hanging")
In fact, this ranking is theoretically in no particular order, but it is too sorry not to throw the stingray in front of it - compared to other fish, the combat power of the stingray can be described by the word "terror", they have a strong sense of territory (at least most of them), and they not only move their mouths but also their tails in fights. As the name suggests, the tail has spines, and this bone spur is born on the tail stalk of the spiny tailfish, usually a pair, two pairs of nosefish (except for naso thynnoides), and the number of tail spines of the multi-plated shieldtail genus can reach an exaggerated 6 pairs.
Figure | Prionurus microlepidotus
The tail spines of spiny tailfish are very sharp, and even poisonous glands, which are a sharp weapon for their attack. In addition to the genus nosefish and the genus Multi-plate shieldtail, the tail spines of the spiny tailfish are usually closed in a groove in the tail handle, and when facing competitors, the spiny tailfish will swim to the side of the opponent, open the tail spines, and then twitch the tail handle or quickly turn around, and draw a hole in the opponent's body.
Figure | Orange corrugated hanging (Acanthurus dussumieri) retracted tail spines
But there is an exception to the spiny tailfish, the yellow-tailed parasingus (Paracanthurus hepatus), which is also the blue inverted hanging, although it also has tail spines, but it is more directly on the mouth, and the blue hanging is a very specialized one in the spiny tail family, and its mouth is very suitable for nibbling on fish...
You don't have to guess to know that the spiny tail fish is the fish that has caused the most murders in my family's aquarium.
Cherish life away from the spiny tailfish.
Figure | This image shows the naso elegans' huge, unstricted tail spines
Of course, there are some relatively safe measures, such as different tanks of the same genus of spiny tail fish, more capable stingray fish last down the tank, more similar size of the thorn tail fish do not polyculture.
However, the cylinder size can indeed be willful ~

All species of the family Pterophoridae Blenniidaespp.
("Shrimp Tiger")
Fish in the family Hawks are called gobies in the marine ornamental fish trade as well as the real gobiidae, but in fact most enthusiasts know that the wren is a gobies. The family is known in English as "combtooth blenny", which refers to the comb-like fine teeth that most fish have evolved to nibble on algae. One of the fish in the family Pterophora is called Salarias fasciatus (slender-striped hydrangea), a name that graphically depicts the feeding strategy of most fish, the planer. The action itself is cute, but as cave-dwelling fish, the fish have an extremely strong territorial concept, and they will attack all intruders, even if they are facing a turtle head sea snake that comes to eat eggs. When attacking, most of the fish use the strategy of directly on the mouth planing, such nibbling can cause great damage, if the attacked fish is small, the fish can be directly planed in a very short time.
Figure | Watermelon planer (Salarias fasciatus)
There are also special wrens, such as the Omobranchus fasciolatoceps (spotted-headed gill) and petroscirtes variabilis with well-developed canine teeth that can cause more considerable wounds, and fish of the genus Meiacanthus smithi and some of the genus Transverse Trout have been upgraded to the next level, upgrading the canine teeth to poisonous fangs. Fortunately, the genus is mostly active in the middle layer of the water body, the territorial concept is weaker, and the temper is much better, but what about the genus Transverse Grebe? They, like the genus Shield Owls to which the infamous False Doctor (Aspidontus taeniatus) belongs, are scaly fish.
Yes, eating scales, and the horizontal-mouthed fish is almost an obligatory scale, more exaggerated than the shield toothed fish, do not eat anything else, mix who is unlucky.
Figure | Meiacanthus smithi
Figure | Plagiotremus rhinorhynchos, also known in the market as "false doctors", does not really eat only scales, their recipes also include the skin and mucous membranes that are gnawed together.
Figure | The three-banded shield-toothed wren, in addition to food such as fish scales, also receives normal feed such as red worms.
The polyculture strategy of the family Hawks is roughly the same as that of spiny tailfish, but polycultures of those with large differences in body size can also be polycultured. The highly benthic fern has a strong territorial concept, but ecsenius is better than the genus hydrangea, but the possibility of rebellion cannot be ruled out.
When raising larger fanged fish, people themselves should also pay attention to the fact that these fish may fight back quickly when disturbed, sharp canine teeth are enough to pierce the skin directly to the blood vessels, and may not be the kind of bleeding that usually rubs.
For the highly inclined burrowing fish there is a catch technique, find an embroidered hook, do not hang any bait, hang down to the hole of the fish and repeatedly rub and harass it on its face, the fish will be very angry to bite the hook and throw it out, at this time seize the opportunity to directly pull it up, my former golden shear (Ecsenius midas) is how it was caught.

All species of the family Cyprinidae Pomacentridaespp.
(Demons, Finches, Clowns)
Snapper is the most prosperous fish in the coral reef, they have a very large variety of species and a very large number, the vast majority of common seabream in the market are only a few dollars to dozens of dollars, as long as the sea basically can not avoid the step of raising seabream, therefore, basically people who have been to the sea have learned their strength...
In theory, all snappers have a territorial concept, and in theory, all snappers will fight and catch fish, but there is no chance to show the problem. Although many of the seabream live in groups in the natural waters, the otherwise harmonious neighbors in the narrow aquarium will fight directly. For snapper, homogeneity is the most basic, and if a species of snapper is just internal friction and ignores other fish, then this may already be the most moderate species in the family Snapper, and such fish are most common in the genus Chromis, such as the very common blue-green gill.
Figure | Chromis virides in coral reefs
The genus Chrysiptera, Pomacentrus, Abudefduf, and Dascyllus are four other commonly found species of snappers, which in general are less temperamental than the gill genus, and almost all the least famous species in the family of snappers come from, such as the blue devil (Chrysiptera cyanea, usually only "blue devil"), Yellow-tailed blue devil (Chrysiptera parasema, paragingin snapper, usually only "yellow-tailed blue devil"), yellow devil (Pomacentrus moluccensis, Moluccense seabream), five-lined finch (Abudefduf vaigiensis, five-banded bean-ladyfish) and three-point white (Dascyllus trimaculatus, three-spotted mudfish).

The sea anemone subfamily amphiprioninae, or clownfish, of the family Snapperidae is a specialized taxon associated with sea anemones for most of their lives under natural conditions. The anemone subfamily is divided into spiny-cheeked snapper and double-sawfish, which have similar habits, have a strong territorial concept, and may also drag other fish to feed the anemone, but it should be noted that the only fish in the genus Spiny-cheeked snapper (Premnas biaculeatus, spiny-cheeked snapper) is particularly fierce, large, strong, and is a fighter among clownfish.

Pseudochromidaespp of all species of the family Pseudochromidaespp.
(Strawberry)
The situation of the seabream is roughly the same as that of the seabream, but it is more violent, and the seabream basically does not have the problem of eating shrimp, while the seabream does.
There is also something in the family Cyprinidae called Congrogadus subducens, noting that it is not another purpose of the white-striped eel (Pholidichthys leucotaenia). The eel is different from other paragonal seabream that can be seen in the market, others fish, it eats fish.

All species of the family Baptidaespp. (except For the genus Xanthoptera)
(Shells)
When it comes to the various dog heads and dolls of the four-toothed puffer family, people who have kept them should not forget their problems of chewing on fish, shrimp, crabs and shellfish, and the scaly puffer family that belongs to them with them can be said to carry forward this habit. Lepidopterae have a wide and dorsal fins, which allow them to rush quickly to chase targets, enough to kill the lobster 's (not crayfish's) incisors, which can cause considerable trauma. Almost all scaly pufferfish bite, all scaly pufferfish can attack crustaceans, Titan shells (Balistoides viridescens), yellow twill shells (Balistapus undulatus, corrugated hook scaled pufferfish), Mandarin duck shells/Rhinecanthus aculeatus (forked-spotted file scaled puffers), and Buga shells/triangular shells (Rhinecanthus rectangulus, Rh The oblique band file is particularly violent, and the Titan shells have even attacked people in natural seas several times, causing people to stitch.
Figure | Buga cannonballs I have raised one, before I get out of the tank began to do things to nibble on fish...
There are several kinds of shell wind reviews are better, here are the respective ones.
Devil Cannonball (Odonus niger, red-toothed scaly pufferfish), claiming not to eat fish and not touch coral, does have a better temper, but in fact... This thing has eaten fish, I have seen a case, Flutter (Labroides dimidiatus, split lip fish) directly headshot under the tank.
Glass shell (Melichthys vidua, black-rimmed horn scaly puffer), it is said that the compatibility is second only to the devil shell, but there are also sources that say that it is aggressive, there are fewer people who keep glass, there are no cases, put first.
Figure | Speaking of which, the first time I saw a glass cannonball was in Seafood Street...
Blue-faced shells (Xanthichthys auromarginatus, Phnom Penh Yellow Scaly Inflata), known as the temper is second only to the Devil's Shell, but my own feeling is a little softer than the Devil's Shell, do not touch any fish, shrimp, crab shells, can be a mouthful of stuffy sea dragons also completely ignore (their two ranges of activity highly coincide), during the polyculture did not cause any losses, and by extension the entire genus of Yellow Scaly Pufferfish may be like this, so at the beginning I said that the Lepidoptera had to get rid of the Yellow Scaly Pufferfish, The yellow-scaled pufferfish has a really good temper.

Pseudocheilinus hexataenia
(Six-line dragon)
Most of the longhead fish have the problem of fighting with each other, some larger longhead fish will even prey on small fish, but in general, these fish are not completely unreasonable, as long as the appropriate avoidance of species with similar shape habits and too small fish, mixed up is not too big a problem, but the six-lined dragon is not GOOD, the six-line dragon itself is not big but it is a fighter, who fights, if you want to choose the most unsuitable polyculture of the longhead, the six-line dragon should sit firmly first.
Figure | The six-line dragon is actually quite cute, the real thing is more cute, but it can fight

No.7
All species of the genus Corisspp.
[Including Red Dragon (Coris Gaimard), Monk Dragon/Coris aygula (Red-throated Helmet Fish), Taiwanese Dragon/Watermelon Dragon/Deep Water Red Dragon (Coris formosa)
This is one of the fish-eating longheads mentioned above, theoretically speaking, as long as it is a fish and shrimp that can be picked up by them, it is dangerous, they can tear the prey that cannot be swallowed into small pieces on stones and other objects and swallow it, and the helmet fish is very large, which can be regarded as a very terrible predator.
But this kind of fish is very obsessed, my family only engages in freshwater fish (including Mary who turns to the sea), seawater fish it does not touch, smaller than the exterminated fish of the sea dragon and black whirlwind shrimp tiger do not care at all.
In short, this genus should be mixed with caution.

Attached: Ichyocrinotoxic fishes
Incidentally, this sort of thing. Unlike other poisonous fish, a big feature of mucus poisonous fish is that their toxins can be released into the water to cause a wide range of killing, which gives people a feeling that they cannot be polycultured. Ostraciidae and Aracanidae are the most famous mucus poisonous fish, they are called "papaya" or "wooden box" in the market, box puffers release soap-like foaming toxins when threatened and dead to poison the surrounding fish (including the box puffers themselves), so many people hear this skill, they can't afford to be annoyed.
Of course, box pufferfish are absolutely poisonous, the toxin is the box puffer toxin (pahutocin), the spotless box pufferfish and the high box pufferfish (homopahutoxin). The main component of the box pufferfish toxin is acetoxyhexadecethanoate, which can dissolve the red blood cells of fish, amphibians and mammals, and indeed can kill fish, but it will not be placed randomly, and the threat of the box pufferfish being forced to release poison by itself does not exist (unless it is an extreme special case), generally speaking, it is impossible to kill the tank if it is dead.
Instead of thinking about how not to be destroyed, it is better to consider why the box carp should not be starved to death, because this thing will not grab food even if it is opened.
Another very interesting thing is that the skin mucus of the box puffer has enzymes that decompose its own toxins, which can protect itself, but if you really put poison in the small aquarium, the concentration is dead.
Figure | Larvae of cucumbers (Ostracion cubicus).
Figure | Spotless box pufferfish are rare on the market, but they are relatively common in Japan, and can be eaten after washing off toxins
In addition, there are some common mucus poisonous fish on the market, such as yellow cricket (Gobiodon okinawae) and pogonoperca punctata and clown spot (pogonoperca punctata), yes, I have not seen anyone raise these fish and then the whole tank is finished, so there is no need to think so much about the box pufferfish.
