Ok, so I have got a 24G tank and am contemplating what fish to get. I will later add a few corals and perhaps a sponge or two to brighten it up. It will still be a while as I want to go slow and get only one or two fish/corals at a time, but here are my thoughts thus far (I would like to know if any of these are a bad idea or what not):
So far I have:
*2 Green Chromis
*6 Hermit Crabs
*1 Emerald Crab
*3 TINY Snails (not sure what kind)
*and a few hitchhiking MINI starfish
(you can look at my photo album to see the setup and get an idea, just make sure to look at the latest pics to see the updated version)
I am considering EVENTUALLY adding these:
**2 False Percula Clowns (with an anemone later on)
**1 Pygmy Angel (I know they may eat Zoa's but I had one that died and he was just fine with the Zoa's - but I know I will have to watch him....I just loved it though, so I want another one!!)
**2 Clown Gobies (1 Yellow and 1 Green)
I have read up on all of them and am hoping it will be ok. Nowhere have I read where there would be any problems. All are reefsafe (the angel being the most dangerous to Zoa's and the most potentially aggressive). All sites I checked have said that they are all pretty peaceful. I have even read on numerous sites that of all the 3-striped clownfish, the false percula's are the most docile. I have also thought about the size of the fish and tank and what not.....the rule and so forth and it should support them all (probably shouldn't add any more after that, but it should support those). Clown Gobies don't even get to be 2inches, Pygmy angels and chromis are 3inches or less, and the clowns are less than 4inches.
So just tell me what you think, or if you have had a bad experience with any of these fish, or if you know something I might need to know for down the road before I make any purchases. I would even like to know if there is a certain order I should introduce the fish into the aquarium in order to reduce risk of aggression or stress. Thanks for all your help and input...I look forward to hearing your thoughts!!
