Hi all,
I was wondering if these fish would live ok with eachother and other corals and invertebrates.
I have:
2 cleaner shrimp
5 astrea snails
1 red hermit
1 haloween hermit (going away after reading the thread under)
I want :
a pair of clowns - ocellaris or percula
1 jawfish, bicolor blenny or midas blenny (and recomendations?)
and 1 other small fish (something like a sixline wrasse, gramma ,chromis ect)- suggestions would be apreciated
The tank measures 36x13x16
Thanks,
David

I have a midas blenny and its Awesome. I call mine Maxine! :) . It hangs out in the open all day and it always is eating. It will eat even when its full and its belly is pertruding out. Its a very happy fish that's coral, shrimp, crab, and other fish friendly. I have mine with a occ. clownfish with stripes, an occ. clownfish without stripes, and a yellowtail damsel (which is also friendly and an really cool fish)! Both the damsel and midas bleeny are the best of friends-they swim constantly with each other! I know that people say you shouldn't keep damsels in small aquariums but I've had no problem. They are really pretty fish if you are looking for somthing with nice coloring.

i agree the midas are nice and the yellow tail blue damsels have extremely nice coloring.. if you dont mind them terrorizing things
i saw a 29 gallon in the lfs with bout 15-20 tiny ones wow is looked awesome considering he has fake pink corals. it looked nice and made me wan to buy the fish..

Keep YTB chromis are a schooling fish, keep them in odd numbers of at least 3 to avoid aggression.

you might be able to keep 2 midas.As for the bicolor is semi aggressive and they're not recomended to mix with other blenny species specially in smaller tanks.

Went to the LFS today and got 2 clowns and a midas :cheer:
1 clown in ornage the other black (ocelaris) and seems like the black one is a female, bigger and chases the male a little.
The black clown turned alittle lighter, very dark brown does that mean anything?
Thanks
David
