I personally hate damsels. They're demon spawn for sure. Such nasty and mean critters. I'd probably only have them in a predator tank.
I guess I'll just have to suck it up and get a 55.
jwalsh said:Idk if you need 30 snails and 30 hermits. Maybe. 10 of each. Especially if you are going to ro water for pwc. Because you won't have as much algea growth. I have 5 of each in my 29gal and that is about as many as I should have. Or I will have to suppliment their food

Sniperhank said:I would also be wary of the Chromis school. Though less aggressive than damsels, they can be misleading as well. Some people never have any problems with them. While others have had the school completely turn on each other leaving only 1 chromis left.
I am currently about to cycle my new 55 gal tank. I love the idea of having some schooling fish, which is what most people go to chromis for to see. I am looking at Fowleria Cardinalfish, yet I have not made my final decision. They are peaceful and have a 30 gal min requirement.
