if your tank just cycled then you can start off with some clowns, another good fish would some sort of wrasse. most wrasses are pretty hardy, i think the second fisht i put in my tank was a pakistan butterfly and then a regal angle. everyone said those are some of the hardest fish to keep but no problem with them

Ok thank you ,my kids want the finding nemo lol.I myself love lion fish.they say clowns are easy,i like some of the tangs to.lion fish are out only because there are not a whole lot of fish that can go in with them so i'm told.How long does the cycle take ? like i said my fish went in on sat and my ammonia went high now it's leveling off itself

Cycle time is usually 4 to 6 weeks...check your ammonia nitrites and nitrates every couple of days and dont add any more fish to the tank untill ammonia is 0 nitrites are 0 and nitrates are below 10.

My emperor and queen get along fine. My emperor chases my blue face during feedings. MY camera sucks so bare with me.

The tank is sealed with a pondliner. Its a plywood tank with acrylic front. Its not as nice as an all acrylic but it was cheap to build.
