fighting conch & 6 line vs royal gramma

[cindyski]

hi,
first i was wondering if fighting conchs are "bulldozers" and how big they actually get.
and 2nd i would like to add both a 6 line and a royal gramma. which order should i add them i had only planned on getting one at a time.
right now i have:
2 yellowtail damsels
3 blue/green chromis
2 false percs
1 LMB
+ inverts & a couple corals
thanks!!

fighting conchs really arent bulldozers like mexican turbos are
the fighting conchs really dont even leave the sand bed i only see mine every few weeks
make the six-line your very last addition they can be aggressive towards fish added after them

the conch should only get about 3 inches in lenght, and will remain on the sand bed, or in it... they are a great help in a reef tank and should cause you know problems. As far as fish i think you would be fine adding which ever one you wanted first. I dont think the sixline or royal grama are very teritorial so they wont fight if you add one of them after the other.

thanks
my future plans also include a yellow tang and maybe one other fish of some kind. i'm not sure how many more fish i can put in the 125 i might be close to my limit unless i get rid of the yellow tails
should i add the 6 line at the same time as the tang?

they have the fighting conch available now, but NOT the aquacultured. does it make a difference? which is better?
thanks, i would like to place my order today
