Hey, new to the hobby and looking at stocking options.
I’ve a 60cm or 24inch cube tank, making it 225L/ 60 gallons. It’s currently got a lot of arching structure, soft coral and 2 bubble tip anemones. I’ve got a royal gramma which I absolutely love, aswell as a pair of ocellaris clowns. I’m also about to get a yellow chromis as a guy is looking to rehome him near me so I said I’d take him. I’ve been assured he’s quiet and hasn’t ever bothered any other fish so should be fine.
Anyways, on the the crux of the tank. I want a splash of blue! I’ve heard that chromis just seems to slowly kill each other and the tank also isn’t really big enough. Remember that although being a 60 gallon it’s still only 2ft in length. I’m therefore debating between a cherub angel or maybe a trio of damsels. Just wondering what yer thoughts are on this and if the damsels what type and how many.
I’m adding a blue pin cushion urchin, 2 conches (I’ve heard they’re better than diamond goby for sand sifting) and emerald crab aswell as turbo snails this weekend, and also debating on adding a goby/ blenny and a pair of bangi cardinals.
Anyways, as ye can see it’s all up in the air really, so I’d just like yer advice on stocking a tank like this. Thanks!
