Bio Cube 8 Gallon

[ashersmom]

I was wondering how many fish I could have in my tank? I am new at SW and have 2 percula clowns now. I could use some advise on what I can put in with them in anything.

On an 8 gallon, 2 percs is probably all you can keep in it and that's pushing it. There is a general rule of thumb which people follow in saltwater but it varies according to the system and the user... but generally 1 inch of fish per every 5 gallons works for most people. If you do regular water changes, closely monitor your water parameters, don't overfeed and keep your tank cleaned and maintained, then you could probably keep 2 clowns in there. But be warned, smaller tanks are harder to keep up when it comes to saltwater. You are going to have to be willing to work at it in order to keep 2 clowns in there for any length of time.
You can put in a few snails to help clean the tank and a few small pieces of live rock... but IMO, not much else.

Thanks for that advise.
