I'd appreciate some opinions on fish to add to a fairly new tank. Tank looks very good so far, here's what I have:
2 oscillaris clowns
8 zebra hermits
2 blue hermits
1 black brittle star
2 cleaner shrimp
4 peppermint shrimp
1 camelback shrimp
1 turbo snail
1 fighting conch
25 lbs. Tongan live rock
I'm running an Aqua C Remora and an Emperor 400. No fancy lights, just fluorescents.
The clowns just seem to stay in the front right corner, going up and down the glass, top to bottom. Is that normal?
I plan to add an orange diamond (sleeper) goby when the tank is ready, about 6 mos from now.
I'd also like to add some active fish. I've learned that my tank is too small for a tang, but I'm not sure if that's true of all tangs or just some.
For active fish, would a group of 3-4 green chromis work out within this setup?
Also interested in a few fish that won't "rock the boat" too much, like a pajama cardinal, royal gramma or something like that.
On the invert side, I plan to add some feather dusters, and maybe a fire shrimp.
I really like ricordia, polyps, anemones, etc, but I'm not confident that they would do very well with my lighting, and I don't want to spend a ton on new lighting.
So, sort of a rambling post, but if you'd like to advise, please reply.
Thanks! I think this forum is great.
