New fish

[jessica47421]

I went to the lfs today and they told me my tank was done cycling so they said i could get one fish then wait a week or so and get another, the question i have is i got a asassi trigger, what can i get with him for a clean up crew? still have alot of brown algea every where. also when can i put them in?

Not sure about the clean up crew, but I have read that you need to wait 3 weeks between adding fish to a tank.

Slow it down a bit. How big is your tank? The trigger would probably anhiliate a clean up crew. Don't add any more fish for awhile. The LFS is trying to sell you stuff you know, and most of the time thwy don't care to much for the health of your tank.

so is there anything i can put in there with him for clean up?i know not right now though i just mean in the future

The only thing you may be able to get away with in a tank with an aggressive trigger are mexican turbo snails.
Also, as mentioned, slow down a little bit. Wait three weeks in between fish additions so that you give your tank a little bit of time to build up the biological bacteria.

im not in any way plaining on buying anything soon just getting a idea also the guy at the lfs said this trigger would be ok to put other fish with he said they arent mean unless they are picked on is this true?

i dont want aggressive tank i was wanting to get another clown and a nentame too can i get them with him ?

 

[lion_crazz]

Assassi triggers can definitely be an aggressive fish. Triggers do the picking on, not the other way around. I tell people that they are called a trigger not only because of their anatomy, but because they can be triggered to go off and be aggressive at any time.
What size tank is this?

 

[jessica47421]

55 gal

And what is a nentame?

also could i get a cardnial pj with him? his is small right now i put him in my tank about 3 hours ago and now i cant find him any where dont know where he went hopefuly he will come out in day time

 

[jessica47421]

sorry was trying to type in the dark anemone

 

[lion_crazz]

No, a PJ cardinal and anemone cannot be kept with the trigger. He will eat both.

 

[jessica47421]

i hope he is ok i cant find him anywhere

 

[lion_crazz]

He is fine. The worst thing you can do is go and look for him. That will stress him out very much.

 

[jessica47421]

do you think he will come out when the light come on?
