My 24 gallon up and running

[hippydude]

tank has cycled, so now the fun part begins. i got a firefish which looks really great. i got a few questions again lol i imagine it would be good to add 1 fish or coral,plant a week or can you add things sooner? the second question i was looking at this site in the fish section, does anyone have the psychodelic dragonet that fish looks awsome, i would love to get that fish. is feeding fish live worms or shrimp any different from feeding those frozen cubes of shrimp? im also working on putting up some pics, i really thank you guys for all your help. oh yea i could use some suggestions of things to put in there too. so far i got live rock,live sand, firefish. i will be getting a clown and aneme but ideas are definatley welcome. i would like more fish than corals but a few would be nice thanks

Ok- a dragonet is out of the question for this tank. They only eat pods. They wont eat anything else and will starve quickly. They really have to have a BIG established tank to survive.
Even if you bought pods for him it wouldnt be enough plus buying pods is spendy!!
As for adding corals- wait. Wait a few months for the tank to age a bit more. When you do add some corals go for hearty things like leathers, shrooms, zoos(be careful with the zoos)
In my opinion and most peoples' on here a 10 gallon tank is WAY too small for an anemone. Anemones are very touchy and need super stable conditions. Nanos can shift water quality really fast.
Clowns are ok as long as you stay with the smaller species- Percula, Ocellaris
3 fish is the MAX for this size tank. I have a perc, a firefish and a Yashi goby and I get flack for it.
2 is the perfferred number of fish.
By the way what are your water parameters?

i have a mandarin dragonet. i agree with clarkiiclo you need at least 100lb of live rock ,( i have 160 lb live rock in my 55g) and right now that is only enough to sustain one maybe two when i get more pods(on the rocks) and live rock. good luck with your nano
