Aquarium Advice Regular
My fiance' and I have a 20 gallon fish only tank. We set it up about a year and a half ago with two tiny false perculas, a small coral beauty, and a lawnmower blenny. The lawnmower blenny has passed away, but we still have everything else. I've noticed lately that the coral beauty seems to have outgrown the tank. I know its a small tank for saltwater, but since we have only a few fish, everything seemed fine. We recently added a goby and another lawnmower blenny, both of which are very small and shy. Since then, the coral beauty has lashed out on anything that moves. It constantly chases the new fish, and also gets in fights with the perculas. Will this aggression stop, or is it time for a bigger tank? We want to get a bigger tank anyway, but not right now unless it will help with the fighting.
Also, we are a little clueless as how to set up the new tank. We only have one filter and one protein skimmer, so how do we set up the new tank and let it cycle when the equipment is on the old one? We will probably be going for a 40-55 gallon. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
