Would welcome any advice or thoughts on my "fish plan" below:
1. Plan to quarantine each fish or pair for 2-4 weeks before adding next.
2. 36 gallon bowfront with 15 gallon sump.
3. Take has cycled, CUC eating algae.
4. Water params:
Temp=78.4
SG= 1.024
pH= 8.1
Ammonia=0
Nitrites=0
Nitrates=0
5. I want a peaceful community tank, plan to add softies, mushrooms, etc. much later when tank is seasoned.
------------------------------------------
I want to add these fish in this order:
5 blue-green chromis (chromis viridis)
1 royal gramma
2 percula clowns (mated pair)
1 Flame angel OR 1 Coral beauty
--------------------------------------------
Questions:
1. Is this tank ready for fish?
2. If I want a schooling group of chromis, should I buy and quarantine all 5 at once?
3. Same with the perculas, if I want a mated pair, they need to be bought and quarantined together, right?
4. Is this a good selection for a peaceful tank?
5. Is this the order you would get them? I read to get most aggressive fish last.
6. Is this too many fish for 36 gal if I plan to add soft corals?
7. Do you have a preference, the Flame Angel or Coral Beauty? Why?
Thanks for helping out with your opinions!
