Question adding a fish
I have just the o-clown.(small) maybe 2 inches
I would like to add another vert.
30 gal well established tank....all params coooool.
Corals...bubble, brain, anenome, polops, zoas, candy cane...and cleaners...snails, hermits, E-crabs, shrimp and a sally....oh, and a spotted gobie.(small)
I have had trouble before. I added a hawkfish...because it was "purrrdy"
geeezz...what a felon he turned out to be....Should have clued in on the name "HAWK-fish"
and all who know....know what a drag it is to remove everything to capture a renagade fish.
so I would like to try to add another...hoping like hell it will be a peaceful and loving creature
So...
Suggestions pleeezz
Thanx in advance.


_________



55 gallon cycle complete and have been adding from 30 gallon all week...Photos soon "Luna" : )

The dragonets are cool - not sure how aggressive they are, but I don't think they are.

they arent at all but they require a large amount of pods to survive in an aquarium, one of the most beautiful fish though IMO

copods. Usually need a refugium to give them a safe place to grow and multiply.

Just did a google search, and supposedly they are easy to culture in almost any aquatic condition.

yes this is true bu that kind of fish will wipe out a population very quickly, normally for een 1 you need a minumum of a 55 gallon tank, or with his it is possible with say a 10 gallon refugium, this just provides a safe haven in a sence for them to be able to multiply w.o getting eaten, and then the ones that go back into the tank from there become lunch lol.
