Haha yeah. I did sw a few years ago and then head to quit because both my parents lost their jobs. But now life's getting better and I'm in the process of cycling a 40b build!

As long as you have the right light you can have a lot of coral sexy shrimp I think there are some fish that you can get to.

my 4 gallon pico has 1 clownfish, 1 fire goby, 2 crabs and several low light corals.

All ok with zero algae and 0.03 p04 and only 2ppm nitrate

You planning to upgrade for that clown? He's awful BIG for a 4g tank. LOL

 

[ricardo48]

hes barely 2 inches long

 

[kurtyboh]

One clown min tank size ten gal. A two inch ocellaris is nearly full grown, unles it becomes female which it wont unless theres another juvenile for it to pair with.

 

[hiltymj]

Ya he won't last long in there. But a green or yellow goby with do great in there!

 

[ricardo48]

I have fire goby in there. He seems happy enough for last 5 months and all parameters ok. At one stage I had 4 fish in this tank

 

[hiltymj]

Ya it can just stress everyone out. A clown can live 10 or more years. But in a tank like that he probably won't live anymore than 2 years

 

[ricardo48]

Sorry yeh just to confirm he is an ocellaris clownfish not percula.

 

[hiltymj]

Yep I know either still not the size those fish need and or like

 

[ricardo48]

but if 2 inches in near full grown then he is already full size so ok?

 

[carey]

LOL> You guys going back and forth. Even at 2 inches he is too big. And thats if he doesnt grow some more.

It's overstocked but it's your tank and your decision. We just want the fish to be their happiest and healthiest.

 

[hiltymj]

Yep exactly.
