First Fish!!!!!!

[reefman22]

Hey now that my 55 is finished cycling, I decided to go out and get some fish. So here they are: two green reef chromises! :jumping: :jumping: sorry bout the blurryness!

Good Choice Good Luck on your tank I have a 55 as well = Very had to aquascape

Peronally I think green chromis are lovely fish. So congrats!
For what it is worth, and I have not seenany scientific evidence on this, I have read on here more than once that they do better when kept in odd numbers...which might give youa really good excuse to go add one more!

 

[reefman22]

I wont need an excuse! I love these guys!!!!

hey have u guys checked out the new smileys?

haha i like the last one.

 

[reefman22]

any other comments? and also, what other fish would be good (for my next fish) I am having a reef tank

 

[junkiebeas]

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Work hard! Some day it would look likes this.

 

[reefman22]

haha I sure hope so!

 

[reefman22]

Yea go with a cardinal fish, Im setting up my 55 and just got a pajama cardinal, they are awesome. You could also get a clown of some sort. Then theres shrimp too. Lots of choices. Good luck

 

[reefman22]

ill check it out. i was thinkin bout a purple firefish or two. and I am definately getting a shrimp or two. any other colorful reef fish opinions?

 

[edwar050]

Royal Gramma possibly, your looking for color so I would keep the fish small mabye 5-7 small 3 inch fish. I like personally a wrasse like carpenters for a centerpiece fish. I would add another green chromis. Hook up a blenny, a couple of small black gobies, or a hi fin shrimp goby with pistol shrimp.
2 chromis
2 clowns
1 wrasse
1 shrimp goby w pistol shrimp
This would be a good stocking list

What kind of corals are you looking to get.

 

[reefman22]

well i dont have the right lighting setup yet but i will soon and then I will pick out corals and I was already planin on another chromis, royal gamma, clowns and maybe a wrasse

[junkiebeas]

Yes it is a 55gal.

 

[reefman22]

[junkiebeas]
