After posting a while ago, you all made me realize that I had waaaay over crowded my tank. Thank You. So I'm working to improve my list to smaller quantities. I just kept buying the fish because I was just so used to getting a new one after one died (I was buying unhealthy fish that looked fine from a really bad LFS) Now I no longer shop at that LFS. I really want a larger tank, but I can't get one being that I am not going to move because my parents have decided to stay a little longer at out current house. Taking a happy fish out of his home is hard for me, plus taking it to the LFS is even harder, but I want the best for these animals.

So far here's what I've done:
Taken the 2 mandarins back
Moved the ocellaris back home to her 50 (she stopped eating in the 10, but she's fine now)
Moved the maroons to the 10 which I upgraded to an 18g tall.

So here's my list:
50g-
Yellow tang
Mystery Wrasse
Sixline
ocellaris
YW goby
Scooter blenny
purple pseudo

18g tall-
2 maroons and their host condy anemone
The maroons are only there temporarily until I find a new home for them. Once that happens, the watchman and scooter are going in the 18, possibly along with either the sixline or another small wrasse.

Is this any better? I am not getting rid of the tang, mystery wrasse or the ocellaris, no matter what.
