New Nano

[bbailey231]

Well, my nano is "OUT FOR DELIVERY" so I will have it tonight...

It is the 24 gal HQI ... how many fishies can I have? I have 2 maroon clowns and one 6 line....can I add anymore?

The two maroon clowns will actually get too large for that tank on their own.

You might try trading them in for perculas or occelaris(sp?). Those two species stay much smaller and would be perfectly suited to your 24 gallon.
If you went with the 2 smaller clowns and the six line you could probably get away with a shrimp goby of some kind or something like a barnacle blenny would be a good fit.

I've had my maroons for 8 months and they are still small...I thought maybe I got runts

It says 20gal min for maroons....I thought 24 would be fine

Maybe just maybe if they were the only 2 in the tank you could get away with it. But with such a small area for 2 fish that can get big, and get very territorial IMO your asking for trouble if you add anything else.
