Hey everyone,
Well I posted in the fish only form and didn't get but 1 response. So I'll give it try here. Currently I have:
2 Pajama Cardinals
1 Red Scooter Blenny
1 Royal Gramma
1 Yellow Watchman Goby
1 Pistol Shrimp
8 Hermits
2 Nasserius Snails
40lbs Live Sand
30lbs Live Rock
I've been up and running about 3 months now. I also want to add a Flame Angel in the future. Do ya'll think I need to stop with the Flame or can I go with 1 or 2 more fish? I was just thinking maybe a Firefish or something small, peaceful, and colorful.
Any input would be great.
BTW If you read my other post, I finally caught that little blue devil I had, sadly lost my Randles Pistol in the process. It was a blessing in disguise because my LFS had a huge Tiger Pistol (almost 1") that paired with my Watchman almost immediately whereas the other one after a month still hadn't paired.

If you go with any angle pigmy for your tank, you rule out clams and corals. Angles can be nice one minute, and turn to nipping at corals and clams the next and they are a bigger bio load. I my self would go with the fire fish. If you get more than one get them sm and introduce them at the same time. Oh yea they are jumpers.

I'm planning on keeping it a FOWLR tank, so the coral nipping wouldn't be an issue. So far my Amm, Nitri, and Nitra all stay at 0. So my bio load seems to be in check. I'm just going slow (which is hard for me), but I'm trying to do things right.

I think the flame will be fine but you will definitely be close to your limit. What kind of filtration do you have? I've never had the teddy bear crabs, but they are supposed to be peaceful.

I have an Eclipse set-up. It has a carbon and fiber filter plus a bio wheel built into the hood. Seems to work pretty good as long as I don't over load it and do my monthly water changes.
BTW: My pistol Shrimp is totally rearanging just about everything in the tank. Talk about a workaholic. If he can move it, it gets moved.

I like the Pom Pom crabs as well, but the Teddy Bears are unusual. I do have a question on them though. When you get either a Pom Pom or a Teddy Bear crab, do they already have their anemones, or would I need to provide them with some?
Thanks
