My tank has zero everything. Should I add a damsel or any other type of fish?.. and what damsel has you reefers experienced with? An we hich one is the best?

How long has your tank been cycling? I personally would not get a damsel first as they can be agressive especially if they are the first to live in the tank.

EXACTLY THAT WAT I TOLD THE FISH STORE. I KNOW I CAN GO WITH A CLOWNFISH BUT EVERYTHING IS AT ZERO RIGHT NOW. SO IF THE AMMONIA WHEN UP THE CLOWNFISH WILL BE DOOMED. it's the 5th day today

Too soon I think to add any critters. With out patience a lot of critters will be harm and you also will have spent money with out anything to show for it. Just take it slow.

Yeah I know but I mean a starter fish.

I always give it 30 days with just sand and live rock. On the fish ? I started with a chromie in my set up so that's my suggestion. Good luck and remember to be patient and that's coming frome experience. Lost all my fish twice by not being patient. On that note if u can i would look into setting up qt tank it a lot of help.

wait until your cycle is established before adding any fish at all. But the link above is good. I agree with most of it not the blanket suggestion of wrasses... there are several that are not for beginners. I would stick with gobies, firefish, clowns, the chalk bass, cardinals ect... all are good choices for a beginner fish and a first fish - after the cycle is established.
