hi i have a 46 gallon tank. the guy at the petstore told me i should get a hermit crab per gallon. but i don't want any crabs they look like they will eat my nemos (i have 10 right now). so i thought maybe i should just get more nemos????!!!!!
my nemos are the real nemo nemos not the brown ones. i like the brown ones too, could i get ten of those as well!!!????

thx guys!!!

my first thought is no dont get anymore there are alot of fish in there now adding more might cause some major imbalances. and crabs dont add any bioload to a tank I would look at a cleanup crew and some different inverts and leave the fish as is and go from their. your at or above the stocking recomendations for a saltwater tank.

If it is a troll, all idiots have atleast 15 nemos.
They are clowns, NOT NEMO's and any idiot can tell you 2 is the max. And this is the nice version.

a troll is someone that lurks the board and says and does things to get people riled up. to cause conflicts. If you are really wanting advice this is the place to be but when go into a post and say
i think you photoshopped that pic
people think you are just here to cause problems.
We are all about the tank inhabitants and helping those that need and want the advice that we as a while have collected over the years of keeping the animals in this hobby so keep in mind this one point WE are not here to make a dime from you the petstore however is and most are out for the bottom line YOUR MONEY.
This is a great place for the info that you need though.

If the shoe fits, wear it. 10 clowns will not do in any tank. LFS have that many because they sell them, not house them.

It's not the 10 1" fish , it's the type. More than 2 clowns in the same tank will cause big problems. They will pair up and kill everyone else. As far as crabs go, they all have different purposes. Emerald or Mithrax carbs eat bubble algea, blue legs and red legs eat fish waste and extra food. If you are serious, sorry for the comment. Research, research, research.

lets all try and be nice.if we insult all the newbies that have made mistakes they might not come back and that would result in a lot of fish death. its not very polite or mature to call people names. we all know how bad some lfs can be so lets just help the guy out. as for your question you need to see if your lfs would take back some of your clowns. unless you have a HUGE tank you cant have more than 2 as stated earlier. i would see if they would trade some for an anemone for the 2 you keep; if you do have the metal halides. as for the crabs i would get an emerald,and maybe 20 hermits. other fish that might interest you would be lawn mower blenny,yellow watchman gobie with a pistol shrimp, maybe a sand sifting gobie(several types to choose from) sixline wrasse or some type of fairy wrasse.good luck and do a lot of reading and question asking.(here not your fish store)
