i bought a 20 gal today and will begin to cycle any day
supposedley there is this product online that cuts cycling time in half, any1 know what it is called
stocking
2 ocelarris
1 coral bueaty
1 lemonpeel
1 dottyback
I wouldn't put two Dwarf Angels in a 20g. I would just go with one. if you subtract one Angel, you should probably be ok. You would just have to keep up with PWCs. And as always, add that Dottyback last, lol. Congrats on the new tank!
Angelfish are aggressive and would fight each other. I would add only the coral beauty out of the 2. And I would not trust any products that reduce cycling times. Buying quality cured live rock cuts cycling time.
You cannot have 2 angels in the same tank, they will fight. especially in a 20g tank. You have way too many fish listed. It's not just the amount of fish it's the size of them and swim room.
The issue will be you probably have a 24" long tank. Each clown is gonna get to 2.5 inches or more. Right there you have five inches of fish swimming around in a 2 foot space. Add an angel at maybe 5 more inches and theres just no room for them. The angel will also nip corals most likely.
If you must have one then it's better. But not by a whole lot lol.
Do your angel, and your clowns and then pick a nice bottom dweller like a goby. Maybe a goby and shrimp pair. Then you can add other shrimp and inverts too.
Im sorry if im annoying... my plan is as follows...can i get more.. do i have to get rid of fish or am i at the peak
2 ocelarris
1 coral bueaty
! dottyback
2-4 peppermint shrimp
5-10 hermits
a few snails
1 brittle star
maybe a lobster down the road
