i expect the clowns will eventually kill them.:(

they are actually good at getting rid of algae including hair. i would wait about 2 months before adding any coral, let your tank settle for while.

I've heard they were a bit nasty to other shrimp like peps, but i never knew they were actually fish killers.

Out of those two i personally would go for the bicolour. They are quirky little fish.

Every second day, i vary the foods.

I dont think their are any scorpion fish that could go into a tank that size.

Blue Chromis, omly problem they tend to kill each other for some reason :ermm: Your also missing a blenny from your list!!! Could also do a Watchman and shrimp pair.

not the largest nor most colourful, but my keyholes are proving to be great community fist.

no sorry, did not have my phone with me at the time.

i would suggest putting them into the sump or even better a quarantine tank before adding them into your tank. You have no idea what is actually living inside the rock nor what contaminants are in it.

Was out hunting for a randalls pistol shrimp at the lfs when i came across a fairly large (about 1 inch) pistol, was black/brown with a yellow stripe running down its back. It was labeled as a "banded" pistol but i havent came across anything under that name which actually looks like this...

Just spotted one of those today at a store, had a price tag of £80.

to small a tank or to many fish.

should be fine but it is not unknown for them to fight with clowns.

Don't know if anyone has already said this but you don't want to be adding all the fish and CuC at the one time. Space it out over the course of a few months. Also be ready to replace the hermits and snails as the hermits will fight eachother and kill the snails for the shells. A tailspot...

What about a smaller blenny like the tailspot? They can help keep your algae under control.

I have heard that they will (the chromis) eventually kill of the weakest member of the group untillxtheir are only a few left and that they can be fairly territorial in a peaceful tank. Don't know if this is actually true or not. Sadly I didn't hear about this out until I purchased two of them...

I believe anthais are a schooling fish, though the are expensive (here in Scotland at least, dunno about the USA)

False alarm. The other chromis appeared, it's been living in another cave and came out today during feeding. Goby is still missing however.

Hey guys Been noticing at night my fish are all sleeping in the same (fairly large) cave.the tank is 20 us gallon (getting upgraded to a 30g next month) and my fish now a small ywg, tailspot blenny and a black bar chromis are all sharing the same hidy hole. I had another chromis it disappeared...

I am just thinking about this, still to clear it with the Mrs and set up my new reef so it would be another 6months to a year before I even consider buying a new tank for a puffer but thanks for the help, it's much appreciated. :thanks: No doubt I will be back asking questions at a later date

Had a look at anglers for you (you got me interested) Wartskin angler Wartskin Angler Orange angler Red/Orange Angler These have to be the ugliest things you could put in an aquarium, an interesting focal point. Not sure whether I would want to put my hand in with one :D Could such a fish...

Kribs and convicts are easy enough to breed. Firemouths are notoriously difficult to sex when they are juvies, never bred rainbows so I can't comment. All are good parents and will defend their eggs/fry.

They won't be active, they lure their prey to them.

I think they perch at the top of the tank and then dive down on their prey. Upgrade your tank will increase what fish you can stock.
