What else to add in my tank?

[heman]

I currently have

1 false gamma

1 chromis

1 maroon clown

1 cleaner shrimp

Thought of adding a 1 or 2 more fish but i got a few constraints.

a. angel is out. (reason-hard to get it eat)

b. tang is out. (my is 2 ft tank only)

c. predator fish like lion is out. (eat my fish?)

d. difficult to maintain fish and fish tt are picky on food is also out.

e. wrasse is out (possibility of eating up my cleaner shrimp

f. goby or firegoby is out, as i dun like them...dunno y also...

can i say with the above restriction, i am left with only one choice? Damsel fish?

any suggestions?

[heman]

[nim75sg]

Most Damsel are aggressive ... why not the Cardinal?

[Dispar_Anthias]

Most Damsel are aggressive ... why not the Cardinal?

he wants soemthing that can eat pellet and flake food.... That is almost impossible to cardinal.... Blame it on the lazy owner

[siglap]

six-line wrasse or yellow wrasse ok what wont tackle your shrimp. imo

[spawns]

Tube Anemone

That is what i have. Eazy to keep in fowlr but very aggressive. Infact i have 4 of them. White, purple, green and pink. All are in medium size. See attachment below. But beware, they eat almost anything! including live fish. to find out more visit this site

How abt chromis?

I agree, chromis look best when schooling.

Get a few more, just dun over load yr tank.

[IcecruncherZ]

My Pyjama cardinal eats flake. He's like 2.5 years old...

[shoakoua]

Ya, chromis is cool in at least a group of 3. 1 may be too lonely.

Yellow Wrasse may have a problem with the False Gramma, mine used to have issues

Try not have damsels, they may disturb the chromis.

My long fin cardinal eats flake too.

Are u insane!!!

That will be two dottys in a tank. a fight would definitely occur. Plus the bicolor is acclimated liaoz... so dottys are out.

i second the chromis idea... get abt 2 or 3 more to accompany ur oldie.

[Godzilla]

overlooked the other dotty..but chromis n damsels??????!!!

waste time..after 3 mths sick of them n start having problems catching them out. up to individual though, just my 2 cents

Found this useful website that breaks down the types of fish in different classes:

A - Fish that should never be kept in captivity, period.

B - Fish that may be kept successfully, but ONLY in public aquaria that can supply their specialized needs.

C - Fish that are often kept successfully in larger reef aquaria, but usually do not survive in fish-only aquariums. This is commonly due to specialized diet requirements that reef aquaria provide, in the way of naturally occurring micro-crustacean populations, but in some cases, may simply be due to the more complete natural ecosystem found in reef tanks.

D - Fish that are now bred and raised in captivity. Tank-raised specimens of these species will do well in aquariums, whereas wild-caught may not.

E - Fish that are almost always caught with Cyanide or drugs, and whose purchase supports this horrible practice.

F - While not impossible to keep in a home aquarium, requires either a specialized diet and/or habitat that make it impossible to keep with the majority of other species. Many should be kept in a dedicated tank. This classification is also used with very aggressive fish, or those that can eat larger fish, requiring special consideration when choosing tank mates.

G - Venomous. Exercise extreme caution when catching, or when cleaning the aquarium, and do not keep if you have small children.

H - Fish that should not be sold or purchased because they are rare. We felt the need to emphasize this one. Imagine public reaction to our hobby if it were discovered and published that the aquarium trade was responsible for the extinction of a species.
