New to SW aquariums

[mallery8p]

I think the fish my wife was wanting to start out with are the blue with yellow tail and a orange and white clown

 

[mallery8p]

Like this

 

[Joeganja]

It'll get aggressive

 

[Joeganja]

Start with chronic for those are your best bet

 

[mallery8p]

What are they,

 

[Joeganja]

I mean chromis

 

[mallery8p]

That's what I though you meant

 

[Joeganja]

They are affordable and peaceful fish

 

[mallery8p]

Are they a pretty hardy fish

 

[Joeganja]

Yes. They are related to damsels and clownfish

 

[Joeganja]

They are reef safe and also can go into very small aquariums

 

[Joeganja]

And they are a schooling fish

 

[mallery8p]

Ok, thanks.

 

[mallery8p]

Since I'm doing a fish only tank what should I be watching for as far as parameters, ammonia, ph, nitrite, and nitrates. Any thing else

 

[Joeganja]

 

[mallery8p]

I didn't know about the last 5

 

[Joeganja]

They don't really matter im just giving you the chart I go by. Your main ones for fish only are PH, salinity, nitrite, nitrate, maybe even phosphate, and alkalinity.

 

[mallery8p]

My tank has just started it's cycle so I have a little time to get the rest of the stuff I need.

 

[Joeganja]

Well nitrite will be the first thing to come into action, I recommend using stability by seachem to lower it down.

 

[mallery8p]

I just tested what I have and ammonia is 2.0 right now
