Angelfish can become aggressive towards other fish. It is best to put them in the tank last to avoid fights. Also they need a large space as they grow up to a foot long. Dwarf angelfish only have one per tank due to their aggressiveness. Blenny should be kept in a tank with only other blenny fish as they are aggressive to their own kind.
Butterfly fish are hard to keep. Cardinal fish are challenging with foods. Clown fish require lots of lights and feeding supplements. Candy cane corals make a great beginner learning fish. These are easy to care for and make great starters for the novice. Seahorses should be kept to a seahorse only tank. Hermit crabs can be picky eaters but should adapt well if care is taken to not give medicine to other fish in the same tank or make sure that they are eating properly.
