one more fish?

[sjsoto]

hello everyone,

i have a 50gal breeder with about 100lbs of live rock.
my current livestock list is: 2 false percula, 1 cardinal, 1 royal gramma.
tomorrow ill be adding a kole tang. few hermits

can i still add cleaner shrimps and a damsel?

pls opinions avoid disasters

What's your maintenance routine...?

 

[sjsoto]

10 gal water change monthly maybe or biweekly....

There is a thread posted on hermit crabs check it out before you buy them.

Dont add a damsel...get wrasses or Gobies...IMO you have space for fish as long as you keep up your maintanence

 

[aznt1217]

I wouldn't say don't add a damsel... depends on which one you are adding.

 

[mckostya]

yea cleaner shrimp and damsel will be ok.
but i wouldnt add damsel !!! unless you are willing to take 100lb of rock out to actually get him out when hes harassing half your fish...

I wouldn't say don't add a damsel...[ depends on which one you are adding.]

I agree in my opinion i wouldn't add the kole tang either if their nutritional needs are not met they will die of starvation.

How about a blue chromis or more cardinals or chalk bass.

 

[aznt1217]

What I meant before was which damsel. When I refer to the one's that are okay, the yellow chromis, blue chromis, and green chromis are perfectly fine. They will only nip at each other.

Chalk Bass is a great fish......

it says i shouldnt put two basslets together, the royal gramma is in my tank

 

[aznt1217]

Yea It's a little late for that Chalk Basslet unless you want to risk it. I would've introduced them at the same time =T

 

[sjsoto]

i think ill just stick with what i have for maybe in future ill add cleaner shrimp or neon goby... do they really help with parasites?

 

[aznt1217]

I would definitely add the cleaner shrimp. That shouldn't be a problem at all.

 

[sjsoto]

are they really helpful as they say it is?
