Restocking after disaster!

[janastasio]

Well, if anyone ever hangs out on the disease thread forum, back in October I started a thread of a diary of hypo on all the fish in my DT. This was done in a QT. Didnt do the hypo correctly, all in all, lost all fish but one Goby. This goby is now in my 19 gallon. I plan to restock my DT in February and considering a few different things. My tank is either a 75 or 90. Tank is an odd shape, its a DAS(dutch aquarium system), and I purchased it used from a friend. I currently have stocked full of coral, and handful of hermit crabs and 2 bristle star fish. My last fish consisted of small angel, clown fish, tangs, and goby. This round I was thinking of doing 2 black clown and a fuzzy dwarf lion. Would these be compatible. Are these lions small enough to not eat the clowns? And would this type of lion bother coral? Thanks in advance. Tank has been fish free since October. Even being fish free, I still sit and stare at the tank for about an hour each night! Its amazing all the little critters you see in there!

As a rule - if a lion can fit it into his mouth its' lunch
If the clowns are not very small then you shouldn't have a problem with a dwarf lion. I used to have one with a maroon clown and damsels in the tank - no problems. Just don't let him go hungry.

my clowns were with my radiatta who was big enough to eat them, but he left everything alone. As long as he was fed regularly (3-4 days). You could tell when he was hungry though

Thanks! There is a pet store about an hour and half away that gets really nice fish and always has a great coral selection!

Whenever I've been there, they always have really nice lions. I know to have them show me that they eat! I'm going to order the black clowns first so that way I'll know their size before getting the lion! Not going to feed it an expensive lunch!
