Depends on the fish.

You probably only want to add a couple more fish in that tank. Any more and it could get overcrowded. And I'd wait until you get some more rock added too. The rock provides a haven for the bacteria to live that break down the fish poop, and you already need more rock. 1 lb per gallon is a rough rule of thumb.

After you add the rock, give the bacteria a week or so to grow before adding more fish, or you could cause an ammonia spike that could harm or kill your fish.

When you are ready for new fish, a couple of clowns are always a popular choice, and they'll hold their own against the wrasses. Another good choice would be a diamond goby -- he'd really like sifting through by that fine sand you have and they are fun to watch dig. A damsel or chromis would also stand up to the wrasses. Avoid firefish or mandarins as they'll get bullied to death.

You don't have room for a tang or angel, so avoid those.

Okay so how many more rocks and what size like 2 more big ones and 2 small ones and should I throw a medium in there too?. And thanks for letting me know what kind of fish I will go bigger once I become better at this right now 14 gallon is good for me to start out with.

 

[Katrina71]

I would do small/med rocks for your size tank.

 

[Katrina71]

I would guess the rock you have is about 6 pounds by looking at it.

 

[Brittany8808]

I would do small/med rocks for your size tank.

So no more large ones just small and Medium How many would you roughly say I would love to build holes and stuff for them to go through.

 

[Katrina71]

Try to get your rock to total 14lbs ish.

 

[Brittany8808]

Yeah didn't say how many pounds but its definitely got weight and it's a large one it's nice I love the purple.

Depends on the rock you find. I would suggest live wet rock since you already have a nem.

 

[Katrina71]

That purple is called coralline.

 

[Brittany8808]

So have them weigh it before I leave the store with it so 14lbs of rock.

 

[Brittany8808]

They have an all white one To But think I might just stick with the purple

If possible.

 

[jeffchapok]

The size of the rock doesn't really matter, it's just the total amount in pounds that you need to be concerned with. So get whatever size looks pleasing to you, just so long as you end up with 12 -14 lbs of it in total.

Some fish like to hide in little nooks and crannies, especially to sleep, so be sure to arrange it to have a few of those. I have a couple of passthrough caves, and my six-line wrasse is constantly swimming through them.

 

[Katrina71]

All white is newer rock.

 

[Katrina71]

Dark rock would be better.
