I’m just starting my fish only tank and heard that you should only add about two fish at a time about a week or two apart. Does it matter the size of the fish because the ones I’m ordering are all about one inch in length. I was going to add 3 fish and one shrimp and a couple hermit crabs. I was...

I have a Red Sea Max E-170 (34G Display) with a pretty well-established ORA Black Ocellaris Clownfish and an equally well-established ORA Orchid Dottyback. My clownfish is the boss of the tank and makes sure the Dotty knows it whenever she swims over to his side. I successfully kept a Yellow...

Hello everyone, I'm looking at getting a Reefer 625 (133 gallon tank, 32 gallon sump) and would like to stock it with the following fish below. I plan on having a protein skimmer that can handle 175 gallon heavy bioload. I know that not all these fish will be added right away since some take a...

I am in the cycling phase of my Red Sea Reefer XXL 750. While not a monster, it is 200 system gallons and should be able to support a few tangs. While I sit and daydream of my stock list, reading how to do it right, I see over and over again that one should add all of the tangs at the same time...

Hi everyone, I'm looking to get the Reefer 625 XXL which is a 132 gallon tank (not including the additional gallons in the sump). I'm putting together a wishlist of fish I want to include (fish only tank with live rock), but I'm not sure if I have too many fish/invertibrates: Cardinal fish...

Hi guys, I have a fluval 13.5 with two clownfish and a bicolor blenny. I wanted to add another fish and I was thinking about Pink-Streaked Wrasse. Do you guys think I am overstocking? Is the Pink-Streaked Wrasse a good option for my fluval 13.5? Will Pink-Streaked Wrasse get along with my...

So I have an absolutely crazy clownfish, who bites/slaps/headbutts literally anything that comes into her tank, whether it be me, new corals, rocks, equipment, and especially fish. Needless to say this is currently a one-fish tank. Really want to add another clownfish and definitely clean up...

Hi All, So I have a 150G FOWLR tank that currently has a small picasso trigger and porcupine puffer. The tank has gone through the cycling process, and since getting the trigger and porcupine (5/17) my parameters have been very stable, showing no Ammonia, no nitrites and 20ppm nitrates. My...

I added a pair of clownfish to my new 30 gallon tank last week. Ammonia and Nitrite have stayed at 0 and nitrate has remained under 40. Can I add another fish? If yes it would be a watchman goby and shrimp.

So the time has come to start getting fishies for me tank. I have come up with a few fish that I would like to add to my eventual reef tank. I wanted to know if I should add them all at once or phase them in. I came up with the following for my beginner list: Cardinal Fish 2 Yellow Tang...

I have feather dusters on my LR and they've opened up for a few days. Does that mean my water quality is good enough to house fish (damsel fish like clown fish, hardy things) and add CUC. Of course I'm going to do 10% water change b4 adding.
