Percula

[acidbaby1]

My firefish is doing well, and my readings on my 10 gallon nano 20 lbs LR after 5 days of having him are:
0 nitrite
0 ammonia
5 mg/l nitrate.

I have fallen in love with a true Percula at the LFS. He has bee there for three months, he is very active and eats well. Funny thing is he is only about 3/4 inch long. Great personality this little fish has, and I would like to purchase him.

If my tank is this stable, would it be wise? Next week I plan to put a small 3x3" Zoanthid colony in the tank as well. Will the Percula mistake this coral as a home?

Tell me if you think I'm an idiot. Tank seems happy so far. I do beleive I may be moving fast, but the tank is stable as far as my testing is concerned, and I don't want someone else to buy my puppy in the window.

Some would disagree but I think you could put one more small fish in your tank, and a perc would be a good choice. If I recall, you've only had the firefish for about a week. See if the lfs will hold the perc for another week (put a deposit if you need to) and then add him. Two fish, however will be the max in that size tank. JWT

My wife told me the same thing, to hold him at the store for another week-1/2
