I've read a good # of fish for a 33 gallon tank is 6. So I'm being very selective on what fish I pick. When I add my sump can I add more fish?
Anyone ever had problems with coral banded shrimp with polyps and zoas? Want a reef safe cleaner shrimp. |

Hi Trev, to me, 6 fish seems a little high for a 33 gallon reef tank. Unless they are all really small fish that have no aggressive tendencies.
But that's just my opinion.

How about mollies? They are cheap, hardy and will help keep your upcoming algae issues controlled

Haha
I'm just thinking about the first fish I bought to help cycle my tank and If I were to do it again I'd start with Mollies instead of the Damsels that a LFS reccomended (which were also more expensive.) let alone a PITA

If I wanted mollies I'd have stuck with fresh water
And my tank was done its cycle almost 2 months ago. I got that 6 fish thing from http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/inde...howtopic=74703I pretty much only want smaller fish. Clown and goby sized stuff. Largest would probably be a Dwarf angelfish of some kind. Even when I was doing freshwater I much prefered smaller fish. No comments on the CBshrimp? |

Nano reef has a pretty good fish selection threadwith the smaller aquarium in mind, in the beginner forum. My first couple fish were a ocellaris clown, six line wrasse and a royal gramma. All have been great fish and there has been zero argession issues.
