    I have one small black/white perc clown. I want to add another to the tank. The existing clown has been in the tank for 4 months. Can I add another perc clown (orange/white)? Does it need to be smaller? I dont want them to nip at each other. Any suggestions. Thank you

    Algae blenny diet

    How do I know if my algae blenny is getting enough food. He is scraping at the glass a lot and at the LR some. Do I need to give him nori too or is what he is getting off the glass enough? Thanks, Don
