Okay i have a 55 fowlr setup. The tank has a niger trigger 4-5inch, one spot foxface 5-6inch, 2 maroon clowns, and a lawnmower. Do you think im okay for a little while longer or should i trade them now?

All the fish are healthy and fighting rarely happens.

Im in college and i work. I was thinking i should just downgrade to a nanocube 28 and keep the maroons, lawnmower, purple firefish, and add some sort of dwarf angel. What do you think?

Do you think i will spend less time and money maintaining the jbj 28?

I think you're overstocked, yeah. The niger and foxface are big enough to warrant more swimming room. If you only kept the 28g, the maroon clowns would be enough stock for the entire tank. Without the clowns, you have more options.

do you say that because the maroons are considered aggressive?

The two i have is not a pair and never came within 6 inches of each other. Should i just purchase a pair of less aggressive clowns than i can add the other fish listed.

Maroon clowns get 6+" alone. Lawnmower, firefish, and a dwarf angel (really little) is plenty for a 28. I have a 29 biocube with an occ. clownfish, royal gramma, and a 1" multicolor angel.

do you have any problems with your biocube glextank? I hear alot of problems with the aio tanks and really do not know which brand to purchase.
