sorry for your loss

Maximizer · Jan 28, 2016

Thanks. Now I'm back to the debate on which fish to get. I always struggle with this part lol

Maximizer · Jan 28, 2016

Any suggestions? Was looking at a royal gamma and another type of goby. Not really sure how many fish I can put in here.

grammas are pretty but they can be little jerks. a possum wrasse is a neat little fish. Helfrichi firefish are great. a goby and pistol shrimp pair would be cool too.

I looked at a Tanaka possum pygmy wrasse. Wouldn't I have a problem with my red firefish and a helfrichi in the same tank? I'm not sure my sand bed is deep enough for a shrimp goby pair, don't they need like 3 inch sandbed?

Ha... sorry about that.. yeah the helfrichi and the red would be a problem. My mind seems to be elsewhere today. What about a yellow coris wrasse? They are hardy, active and very brightly colored.

Lol its not a problem. I'm starting to really look into the wrasses so I will check out the yellow coris wrasse.

They look pretty cool. I don't know why I struggle with this part. I think its because I want everything but only have room for just a little lol.

Hey man, any updates?

Maximizer · Feb 2, 2016

No not really. Everything is just cruising along. The fish are good. The firefish is eating like a pig and has been out and about since day one. I've been debating ordering another fish this weekend. But don't know if I'm moving too fast. I also bleached 2 of my red mushrooms. I was messing around with the rocks a little bit and I didn't put it back to normal. The rock was sitting higher then normal and I didn't see it right away so it got extra sun for a day or so and is now struggling to bounce back.

cameronh · Feb 2, 2016

Well hopefully they kick back man, I'm sure they will. How about an updated pic

Maximizer · Feb 2, 2016

Here ya go. How fast is to fast with stocking?

cameronh · Feb 2, 2016

I wouldn't say that there is a fast limit, just alot limit lol. You should be alright man.

Maximizer · Feb 2, 2016

It would show up tuesday and that would be 2 weeks between additions. I thought that was okay but didn't know for sure.

cameronh · Feb 2, 2016

I'm no expert lol, but it would (to my knowledge) introduce them closely so there is no fighting

Maximizer · Feb 2, 2016

Well I guess we will see what happens. Not sure what I'm gonna get though. Would like to add the skunk cleaner too though. Will probably order a few corals too.
