| Welcome to the Sanctuary!
Just wanted to mention that often keeping fewer fish can be more rewarding. I have only 2 fish, a false percula and a royal gramma, in my 37 gal tank and one damsel in my 10 gal sump/refugium tank. I've learned in my smaller tank that having fewer tankmates encourages the fish to come out of hiding and cruise the tank and be more visible. When I got my royal gramma he hid most of the time because the damsel was in my display tank and he intimidated him a bit. Since I moved the damsel to the sump my gramma is always out. He's one fish you don't want hiding. His colors are beautiful.
So, I guess my point is that with more fish in a small tank you're more likely to have some conflicts of behaviors and nervous tension in the tank as territories are established. Research as much as you can and ask questions here about experiences and you'll find a lot of helpful information. |
