nirate-dont have a tester but i dont think its high cause i have to fish to feed lol.
I think everything is good right
if your showing any nitrite then your tank is either 1 not fully cycled or 2 going thru a 2nd cycle. Either way it is not yet ready for fish.

 

[mscenter58]

on my test kit thats the lowest possible thing?

 

[patrick8929]

it is on mine too but it should still be lighter colored than the lowest one on there. no nitrites and no nitrates at all.

 

[mscenter58]

yea well i will prlly do a water change and im not getting a fish till prlly later this week so i think it should be good but what would u guys suggest on fish so i can do my research?

 

[patrick8929]

well what do you like?
most gobies are good for a nano. false percs paired are always cool. royal gramma, firefish, shrimp goby combo, ?

 

[mscenter58]

thats what im not so sure about haha

 

[subielover]

Bicolor blenny

 

[mscenter58]

yea i was thinking about them but arent they big algea eaters cause i have to algea in my tank

 

[patrick8929]

well you just gotta look at them and research them to see which ones you like best

 

[mscenter58]

yea thats prlly what ill do thanks for the advice

 

[patrick8929]

yea np. let me know what you decide on

 

[mscenter58]

alright well i really like the hectors goby he looks good do you think it would go good in my tank? and the bicolor blenny do you think it would eat brine and then if i put algea sheets it would eat that

 

[patrick8929]

yeah for sure man its what ever you like though. the algea sheets would work good

 

[mscenter58]

alright well hopfully my lfs will get either of the 2 in then made a order today so i was a little late on the special order so if they dont have either im gonna have to change my mindso could you like give me a stock list that would be good for a 20gal long just as a reference?

 

[nissan577]

um bicolor blenny lol. idk if that was mention
true percula
clown goby
sixline!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mscenter58]

yea i really like the sixlines but can they get aggresive??

 

[subielover]

Yes, sixlines can get aggressive. Although I did not do this, if I were to do it again I would add him last. They are great fish though, useful and beautiful all at the same time

 

[mscenter58]

yea thats y im questioning subie urs doesnt seem all that aggresive tho have you had any problems with him?

 

[subielover]

Not at all, although it does bum me out that I can't get shrimp. It is a trade-off I guess. I would still get one, he is very active and I think he likes my false percula clown, they are always around each other.

 

[mscenter58]

yea i think thats another choice but prlly add him last how big is ur tank?
