I have a 40B that's been up and running for 6 months. More details in my sig. I have a few corals (2 zooa frags, small colt coral, 2 small leather corals, GSP rock, small patch of anthelia's and a few mushrooms). I have a full spectrum of snails and a fairly well populated 2" sandbed (purchased spaghetti worms, amphopods, and bristle worms). Right now the sand and rocks are crawling with pods. Anyway, it's time to get a couple of fish. (My wife wants to know when I am finally going to put fish in the fish tank, go figure!)
I was thinking about: A couple of clownfish? Which species is the least aggressive and will be ok in a 40 gal tank? I think I remember reading somewhere that it is best to get two. Is that correct? And I was thinking of a royal gramma Would these guys get along? Comments and suggestions are welcome. Thank you

Oh, by the way, my tank has suspended lights and is not covered. Are the above mentioned fish jumpers? I'd really prefer not to have to cover the tank unless absolutely necessary. Thanks again,
Tom

Thank you so much for your time, it is so nice to get a veterans advice....we know a little but it's hard know for sure because every book, article and thread has different opinions.
Sorry for the coral faux pas....oops I will post that elsewhere and pay closer attention next time... Last edited by jaf2h; 05/14/2012 at 01:21 PM. |

Is there a reason you don't like Hermits? I ask because sites like Live Aquaria would have folks believe that they are essential to keeping detritus levels down and should be kept in fairly large numbers to do so? I like them ok but can be persuaded otherwise if what I've read is untrue.

Heres what I have, Blue damsel, neon damsel, green chromis, six line wrasse, bi-colored dottyback, pucula clown, diamond goby, peppermint shrimp, a few hermits and snails.
i have a few softies. kenya tree, various shrooms, star polyps and zoas. I would like to get a yellow tang and flame angel as my last fishes. What are your thoughts on this. Thanks, Cory |

You have a lot of very aggressive fish so the flame angel will be problematic. We recommend a yellow tang be kept in a 100 gallon tank as a minimum.

Hi, im looking to set up my new tank 20 gallons to start and i may switch to a bigger tank in about a year when i have more room I already have a bigger tank but since im in college still gotta make due with the space i have. so my plan this far after some research is and most likely in this order:
Clean Up Crew not sure for this yet (2) Blue Chromis or Green Chromis would rather blue (2) Ocellaris Clowns (1) Yellow Watchman Goby with a Shrimp for it to pair with Pistol Shrimp i dont know if anything else would work (what i would rather is a fire shrimp but i dont know if they will pair) (would it be possible to have 2 shrimp) (1)Royal Gramma or Red Tail Fire Fish I dont know if this will be too much and it probably is but this is my idea if i need a bigger tank i will stop at whatever point that is and not continue until i have my bigger tank up but until then i would like to know how well these fish will work together. Forgot to add: i will have 20lbs or live rock a 425gph power head and a 200gph aquaclear filter no protein skimmer yet Last edited by laxb0rder; 05/14/2012 at 09:17 PM. |

Hello,
I have a 55 with 50+ lbs of live rock, hammer coral, wet dry sump with protein skimmer and a couple power heads. The water parameters are in good shape. I have 2 clowns and am thinking about buying a watchman goby and pistol shrimp combo. I am ordering them from Live Aqueria and want to add another fish to the order since I am paying the overnight shipping. Any suggestions for an inexpensive colorful fish that would get along with what I have? I appreciate the time, thanks! |

Thanks for the feedback, Steve! If I remove the Toby and Damsel, is there anything else you would recommend with the others on my list?
