so i went out today to figure out what i can do with my sump and just nosed around fishstores and just looked around, and then i got excited and bought fish lol, oopsie! i told myself i was going to take it slow and i couldnt handle myself, so i just bought 2 chromis to help with the tank, and they are doing great i tested my water and no nitrates or anything, well alittle bit, but i am sure it's fine :) will add pictures later
|
so i hope everyone can help me
i have a fishlist of fish that i would like, i read up on them and have for awhile what do you think Fish i would like 2 more Chromis Jawfish, Yellowhead yellow tang blue tang Firefish 2 Ocellaris Clownfish Bicolor Blenny assorted hermit crabs Cleaner Shrimp Blood Red Fire Shrimp Peppermint Shrimp assorted snails |
bristle worms are a good part of your clean up crew.. Your fish list looks good other than 2 tangs won't work in that tank for very long unless bought very small.
|
yeah i opted out on tangs for a tank, becuase i feel bad for them
so my tank update! I been thru the horrable brown algea which is now gone and has moved into the lovely hair algea, i bought some turbos and a couple of blue legged hermits to clean that up, and they are doing wonderful doing it, still just have the Chromis in the tank, i have 4 which are always a blast to watch other then that, i fixed my sump with a mini refugium, with some algea types and a 24hour light, other then that, just doing the nice slow waiting game :) |
Yellow Headed Jawfish are the coolest fish but also one of the most frustrating fish I have ever had. They will find any way possible to get out of a tank. I have had three and all of them have lasted about 3 months and then all of a sudden they decide to be jumpers and I have found them all dead on the floor. It is truely sad because they are such a gorgeous fish with a lot of personality.

ok sorry for the lack of updates, been busy in the house!
other then my bubble coral pretty much on the brink of dieing, everything is going wonderful, wait i lied! i have algea from HELL, i have lawnmore blenny and hes not doing the job, i have cut down my lighting to like nothing, and i am still getting algea, i have every type in the book of algea i swear! lol it will all work out Matt pictures coming soon! |
In regards to your cleaner shrimp on your list, you may want to look at going with a pair of either skunk cleaner shrimp or blood shrimp. One of each don't do well together unless they are in a larger system. By having a pair they may join up and spawn, their eggs make great food for your system.

I have had my pearly jawfish for 7 monthes now hes was in the first 3 fish i added. he has never jumped with the exception of when i had an insane nitrite spike. do you have a sand bed? if not it is highly recommeded.

yeah i think i may go with just the normal cleaner shrimp. becuase i like them better
i havent desided in a fish/invert to move around my sandbed and yes i do have one. i just got a firefish that dispeared on me, only had him for 2 days, i forgot they where jumpers, but i havent found him on the floor or anything (weird) lol other then that, i am just battling my stupid algea fight grrs! |
