One last fish?

rporter996 · Mar 19, 2023

I have a innovative marine 20g Long reef tank. I have a pair of clowns a royal Gramma and a mandarin dragonet. I really want to get a purple firefish in the tank and then stop there with live stock. Do you guys think that'd be too much I just setup this tank at the beginning of January. It has a few softie corals a cleaner shrimp and some snails for CUC.

I think the main issue is the clowns - they are very territorial, especially in small tanks, so the firefish could become a target.

I would think that tank is pretty full already. Clowns get to a good size, grammas do to and they both can be a little mean. To me that fire fish might get picked on long term.

Hmmm alright I didn't think about that becoming an issue
