29g cube stocking list
First, Steve thanks for your advice about the Flasher wrasses. I don't want to put one in a 29g even though some have done it. Observing them in the LFS I can see how active they are and how they would do better in a 50g or more.
So, my 29g cube is done cycling. It is FOWLR, no sump (yet). Current fish: Yellow Watchman Goby (transferring to the new tank tonight) Stocking list (in this order...will take it slow and add about 1 fish every 6 weeks) Purple Firefish Possum Wrasse (Yellow-Banded or Tanaka's) Tailspot Blenny (perhaps a Bicolor or Smith's) Yellow Assessor Questions: 5 small fish too many? (I'm hopefull that this mix will allow each to have a unique area of the tank.) If I decide to keep it at 4 fish I will likely forego the Blenny and add the Assessor last. Will the Firefish be bullied by the Assessor? They are basslets after all... Do the Purple Firefish do well as a single? Is there anything to the notion that one fish that is more active can actually "draw out" shy fish like the Possum Wrasse or Firefish? Thanks in advance! |

I have the 28g JBJ Nano Cube CF-Quad, plan on getting a Nano JBJ Protein Skimmer, an InTank mediabasket but currently using the stock filters. I have 27lbs of live rock and ~40 lbs of live sand. The following is what I want to have in my tank listed in the order I would introduce them to the tank:
Pearly Jawfish Mated pair of Firefish Barnacle Blenny Horned Blenny or Lawnmower Blenny A mated pair of Ocellaris Clown fish or True Percula Clown fish I also want a few pieces of coral: A hammer/frogspawn/torch for the clown fish to host A variety of zoos A colony of mushrooms Thanks in advance for the advice, Steve! |

I feel like a dork saying it wrong the whole time! What if I had a single clown fish instead? If that's the case would I be able to get one of the darker, more aggressive clowns like a maroon or the black one if they're not paired?
I also forgot to mention the inverts: one skunk cleaner shrimp one pom pom crab 10 dwarf hermit crabs (zebra or red tip) 10 Nassarius and Cerith Snails 10 Astraea Snails 10 Nerite Snails 2 Turbo snails |

wow.. what a quick answe... thanks alot
well.. the 3 Nemateleotris magnifica ... two are always together and the third one is all day hidding in a very small hall, but they all sleep in that place the 4 chromis I have them since january... only three went together.. and the fourth one was never with them.. now they are always together... nice to see them swimming for the nudibranchi.. i don't clean my back glass.. perhaps thats why it is always there.. because of the food.. thanks for the explanation :-) so.. you recommend me only one tang? which one? i would go for a heavy algae eater.. I like so much Acanthurus leucosterno.. but I am afraid of white dots.. so I will listen to your advice.. just one tang.. instaed of the other one can i get Chelmon rostratus ? or Synchiropus splendidus? |

Thanks Steve. I guess I should have added that this was the order in which I planned to introduce them to the tank also.

I have a 6 foot 125 Gal 24 inches tall with a deep sand bed and about 100 to 125 LBS of rock for structure and plan on SPS and maybe some softies. Lighting I think since I have it on hand will be Two 400 Watt MH with 2 20K XM Bulbs.
Current Fish in Tank are a Bristletooth Tomini Tang and a Yellow Tang. So the question is what if any other fish should I add to the tank that would benefit the tank itself? I might be wrong in this assumption but I would think it best not to add anything to a Tank that will not benefit the tank. |
