so i think im gunna get a fish tomorrow, i dont trust this lfs to keep healthy fish so im gunna get a damsel, something that doesnt die, i just dont know which one to get. they have a domino, yellow, yellow tail, and blue. i know its not the ideal fish but i know it wont die on me and it is still a good looking fish. i just dont know which one to get. and also do any of these have problems with coral? i knw all fish are hit or miss but some are less chance than others. thanks for the help

you just check him out MARK!
i always knew you werent str8! LMAO!!!!!!!!! j.k well pat, get a chromis something that wnt be aggressive towards your other fish! clowns are hardy fish as well. get something that has really nice colors to it and such. i think the way you say of transferring stuff will be kinda wierd. cause lets say you corals start to grow on the rock you cant peel it off the rock. think about it twice. put a timer or something. also you can take fish and such but idk about the corals. it may also cause the fish stress. theres alot of stuff to think about bro.

because i will be living in the dorms again i was thinking its a good idea to set up another tank at my house. so i would have 2 ten gallon tanks. that way when i go on my 3 week break for christmas i dont have to take the take and everything i can just take the living things and my light. does this sound like a better way of doing it? and would this put alot of stress on the inhabitants? and i would need to keep it cheap so i would have like 1 piece of live rock and just a small layer of sand. a filter a heater and a power head.
also i was wondering if a clarki clown would be a good addition to my tank? are they hardy? i may or may not get one tomorrow on my way home, depends on the price and i need to test my water. which im not sure ill get to before i get the fish....

i agree with everything you said, and ill prob get the yellow cromis or damsel whatever it is, also im gunna leave the tank at home empty so if i have to transfer corals i will take the rocks they are on as well. and i am hoping that if i get a hardy fish like a cromis or damsel they will handle the transfer better than other fish. they do have a what they called a sebae clown (i think its a clarki) but i dont really trust them well enough to get a fish that cost more than 5 bucks. so im just gunna go with one of the damsels as my fish. i might get 2 and just have that be it. no shrimp goby combo. could i get a blue cromis and a yellow cromis at the same time?
