New 13.5 Gallon Tank

[Matthew Cautero]

So my tank is fully established and cycled. I am new to the hobby and was wondering what kinds of fish i can add to this tank and what would you guys suggest.

I would add a Pygmy wrasse and a Two spot blenny.
I think a saw a thread here that all pertains to this brand tank.

A Possum Wrasse or Pink Streaked Wrasse would definitely be something out of the norm for your standard nano tank. Not because it's a bad idea or it won't work, it's just that people often don't know about them. I would definitely add one if I had a tank that small, then again I am biased towards wrasses.

various gobies, clowns, blenny, firefish etc
Keep total number of fish to less than 3 . Consider choosing fishes that will prefer different territories (bottom dwellers, etc) . Consider their temperament to decide which order you want to introduce them.
Having a wrasse is very helpful, they are natural pest control machine . If you do consider one, I'd advice to introduce is at the end.

I actually bought the full set up at the LFS and it came with a Wrasse sixline and a put a clown fish in there. might look to put something for bottom dweller. Question for you for best coral growth would you suggest using blue lights or white lights my setup came with both.

Go with blue first, then adjust the white as per your visual pleasure.
I use kessil exclusively, and cant speak of the other options out there.

Thank you yesterday I bought the Fluval Evo 13.5 Gallon and it came with 11000K high-output LED and it comes with 2 settings either blue or white so i am going to stick with that until i upgrade in a few months to a bigger tank

Just a bit of advice to save money long term. If you know you are going to want a large tank, strictly save for that tank. Buying multiple tanks working your way up in size with different setups might seem cheap at first but it sure adds up.

DO NOT add any other fish to that tank. That 6 line is beautiful but it doesn't play nice with others. The clownfish might be able to hold it's own against the 6 line as they can be terrotorial/semi-aggressive themselves. Personally I would get rid of the 6 line when you upgrade as it will severely limit your stock options in a larger tank.
