20 gallon any suggestions

[dmatthews]

I'm starting up a 20 gallon tank! I've been doing some research........i decided on two percula clownfish and a blue hippo tang. Yellow polyps, hammer coral, mushroom, green star, bubble coral and button polyps. Are there any things, you know, not ok with the plan? Please help or give suggestions!

yeah, the tang is out of the question.

The blue hippo tang needs more room than that--not to mention they get pretty big. How about replacing it with a clown goby or some other small fish? Other than that, everything sounds good.

Yeah, I thought so............
well it said it was only an inch long, but i believe u.
thanx!:joy:

yeah i also have a 20g tank. I would reccomend getting a sea urchin if its safe with your fish. Also i would reccomend an arrow carb cause eat all other food. Also get snails and hermit crabs. Thats what i would do. Well have done anyway.

the size that they give is usually says the size of the fish when shipped (approximate)

 

[thedude]

yeah...if only they stayed that size, i could fit so many cool fish in my tank

Tome,
Have you had any problems with your arrow crab picking on your snails or hermits? I'd love to get one, but have been warned they can be mean to other inverts.
Thanks,
Mike
