Hey all, I was going to order the following of SWF.com:
Nassarius snail x10
Turbo snail x10
Cleaner shrimp
scarlet hermit crab x10
Cleaner clam
Green chromis x2 (have one that survived my six-lines rampage)
The tank is 55 gallons and has been running for about a year now. The only fish that is in there is a green chromis, due to getting a six-line wrasse that killed almost everything.
My mom, however, won't stop bugging me about getting pretty fish, so will it be ok to add 2 percula clowns to the list? Also, which type of percula would you suggest, wild or agricultered?

agricultured are more expensive, but lessen the chance of coming in with some type of pathogen.
if would be fine to have those fish in there, but i wouldnt add all that stuff at the same time. If you realy want to clowns, get them later.
and are you sure you want to be orering new fish at the moment if your six-line jsut killed everything?! Or did you get ride of him?

I wouldn't keep a fish that kills everything. Clowns would be nice in there as well as the chromies, just DON'T ADD everything at once. Also you need to QT these when they come in!

The six-line is out of the tank. I guess i'll just skip on the clowns, but is it ok to add all the inverts, or should I drop some out?

Edit, I was wrong, you can combine fish and inverts for 79.
Plus, you really shouldn't add 4 fish to your tank at once.
But you can add all the inverts at once.
does your tank have enough algea and lr for 20 snails? I'd get more hermits than 10, but that's me. or a crab of some sort, but I don't like snails. It's your tank.
