Fish for the 60 cube

[Anonymous]

Matt is the little tank fish guru wish he would give some suggestions.

Several fish would do great in a 60 g tank:
Royal Gramma Get 3 or 4. Have the LFS oreder 5 or so, put hem together in the same tank on arrival. Get the biggest and the smallest 2 or 3. They will forma harem fro you in your tank
Madarin Dragonete, just too beautiful fish not to have.
A pair of clowns
A pair of orchid dottyback
a Flame angel or two Cherub angels.

Thanks for the suggestion. I picked up a pair of clowns this weekend. I tried a ruby mandarin and my tank could not support it. A bit gun shy on the dwarf angles. The rusty I had was a coral nipper.

I kinda thought it was a bit early for the Ruby Mandarin - I'd prolly get a 'pods package to supplement/seed the tank with first and then get an overflow style refuge to grow pods in to help feed them...
I bought one of those Tigger pods packs and I soon had those little bugs all over the place- my Pseudochromis has all but decimated them since then(but he is fat as hell now)

I would agree with you the tank was to young, probably to small too. The wrasse is a pod eater too. It was a spur of the moment decision, and a bad one.

Call the tang police. I picked up a small yellow tang Friday. It is doing well.

That make 4 fish

2- clowns
fairy wrasse
Yellow tang

Suggestions for the last couple. I plan on waiting a couple of weeks before adding anything else since I added three in a week.

Yellow tang will be fine as long as you remove him as soon as he shows signs of being stressed out.

Hell, I've had yellows in my 38G before. Needed help with algae control. He didn't do the job, so I got rid of him and got a fox face. He worked great.

I got it partially for algae control and partially 'cause I like yellow tangs. I know they are not wow, but they are still cool fish.
