New Tank Please HELP!

[BigBoss88]

I usually feed it krill once a week

That’s fine, what type of anemone is it?

 

[BigBoss88]

i think its called Haitian purple tip anemone

 

[BigBoss88]

i actually also removed the damsels from the tank i did add a baby maroon clown but i have 2 perculas im hoping they get along but i know chances may be slim

 

[Friday24]

Maroons are one of the most aggressive species of clowns IME.

 

[BigBoss88]

My percula is actually going after the maroon non stop

 

[Friday24]

That’s because clowns are very territorial and your percs are established while the maroon is the new addition. It may work and it may not depending on size, gender, and how aggressive your dominant perc is.

 

[BigBoss88]

Yea but I see the maroon running and the perch actually clamped on the maroons take but he got away. Do you think the perc is gonna kill the maroon or it may stop?

 

[BigBoss88]

Tale*

 

[Friday24]

There’s a good chance she’ll kill it, unless the maroon turns male...but if there’s already biting like that it’s doubtful

Good advice. I had to get rid of a Larger clown because he was terrorizing a small mated pair of Pink Skunks. Obviously, the larger had to go.

friday, i ended up taking the maroon back to the store he was getting attacked too much, so much that he was trying to hide. i picked up 2 cardinals and a emperor angelfish hoping he will get along with the bi color and coral beauty?. I know they get large its a very small juvenile, once it grows a bit more i plan to get a bigger tank

 

[Friday24]

Cardinals will be fine, Angel should be fine with the dwarfs, but yes you will need to upgrade tank size to at least a 200g IMO to keep long term as it will get around a 12” as an adult.

 

[BigBoss88]

Sounds good, i also added another 20lbs of live rock, so i have 60lbs on the 60 gallon tank this wont cause me to run another cycle adding additional rock?

 

[Friday24]

There’s a possibility of a mini cycle from any die off on the live rock, plus you added 3 more fish. Smaller tanks have a harder time buffering change especially when they’re as new as yours.

 

[BigBoss88]

would it be a good idea to add some more bacteria in liquid form, or anything i can add to avoid the chance?

 

[Friday24]

Bacteria will help

friday i notice he has something appears to look like a white string do you know what this could be?

 

[Friday24]

Hard to tell from the angle, but if he is pooping it then it’s worms.
