Hi there I have a few questions....
First question:
I added my first fish last week (2 common clowns) and one of the clown is attacking the other one. Not caused any damage but constantly chasing the other into a corner and at feeding time not letting the other one eat easily without chasing it back into the corner again. I have noticed them both 'shaking' at one another as well throughout the day. This bullying and shaking only started today before today they were fine swimming around together. I bought them at the same time from the same tank at my LFS and they are both juveniles.
Second question:
I bought some Rowaphos from my LFS yesterday and according to the instructions I need about 80ml (I have a RR94l) Just a quick question, my LFS advised that I put the Rowaphos in the bag provided and then put it in between 2 sponges. Is this necessary to put it in between the sponges or can it just be in the bag in one of the back chambers without sponges? Just wondering as may need to purchase some more sponges tomorrow if needed.
Also will the Rowaphos get rid of algae or just keep more from developing? I have a lot of the purple algae on the rocks and a small amount of green hair algae - (I think its hair algae) on one rock and starting to develop on the glass. I will be purchasing a CUC this weekend as well.
Third question:
Can anyone advise on stocking for my tank. The fish I like are:
Watchman goby
Royal Gramma
Firefish
Would all of these be suitable with my clowns. I might in the future add coral to my tank, maybe some mushrooms or something so fish need to be reef safe as well.
Also for CUC am thinking:
2 Hermit Crabs
2 Pistol Shrimp
A few Turbo Snails
Any advice much appreciated.
Sorry for the long post!
