Fish Addition

[nminunni]

OK its suggestion time. This is for all of you out there with the well established systems that dont get to add any more fish. Come on its time to live vicariously through me.

I currently have a 20g XT tank with two small false percs, couple of cleaner shrimps, and typical clean-up crew. I am running with about 30lbs of LR.

Anyway I would like to add one or two more small fish. I would like something that is a bottom of the tank kind of guy and a rock swimmer.

My only requirements are they are small so they won't tax my system so much, that they are reef and invert safe, and they are PEACEFUL! I had a royal gramma that turned rogue and attacked my clowns.

I was looking at purple firefish, regular firefish, algea blenny, clown goby.

I want to stay away from the psuedo's because they can get agressive, ditto for the dottybacks.

Anyone have any suggestion on a pair that would get along in my tank?

ThankS!

Let me know what you would add.

algae blenny... i used to think this fish was ugly looking, drab and no intense coloration, until i saw one in person in pilanos tank. get the blenny i like it,

Unless you have excessive algae or the algae blenny eats prepared food, it may not find enough to eat in 30lbs of live rock.

clown goby, neon goby, firefish. maybe even cromis? damsel?!

 

[sjsoto]

for a twenty i wont recomend damsels, the royal gramma was aggrerssive, i can only imagine what damsel will do.

Are algea blenny like mandarins in that it is sometimes difficult to get them to eat prepped food?

for the last post, I can really only add one or two more fish. I am looking for a combo that may work nice.

just get a different type of clown/s

 

[nminunni]

I am kind of looking for something that swims at a different level and has a different feel. Also in my experience different types of clowns do not play well with others

not sure if you seen the one in my tank when you were at my home but the lawnmower blenny is a eater he's wonderful and i gave him to my friend and bought one yesterday at fishtown for 10.00 and has the same personality

 

[nminunni]

if your blenny from fishtown is eating ill buy one tomorrow.

let me know what you are feeding it alright?

Hows the new setup comin man?

 

[straightjiggy10]

the blenny takes to prep foods fast not an issue, and have lots of personality the way it twist an pops it head around corners and darts back and forth in search of algae lol

 

[nminunni]

alright Im sold. Hopefully dirty dirty fishtown has some quality ones when i stop in tongiht

Yeah fishtown has a tank with about 30 of them in there. I was there on sunday. I'd go with a yellow clown goby and a sandsifting blenny. That lawnmower blenny is ugly as hell. Fishtown had some nice colored blennies I can't remember the names but they're in the same tank as the Gobies.
