So what's next?

Okay I have 3 Black Dominoes Damsels (Biff I did not know they were damsels when I bought them) 2 Peppermint shrimp , some snails and some Hermit crabs! What could or should I add next? I do plan to have corals later. but it may be awhile.

Re: So what's next?

No fish until you get rid of the Dominoes.
One of the most aggressive damsels,IMO.

Your cycle is complete,right?
You mention snails but not what kind.How about sand stirrers,scavenger like Nassarius snails and a Queen conch.

Re: So what's next?

Add fish slowly you don't want to start another cycle if you have already finished one. That seem like a big list to add at once to a new tank though.

Re: So what's next?

I was scared you were going to say that! (Get rid of the damsels) I need to see if the Store will trade me! I only had them for a few days. Yes cycle complete. I dont know what kind of snail, the petstore said they were part of the cleanup crew! They are white and the size of your thumbnail. I have several brittle stars too. 2 are pretty big the biggest has about 5 inch arms. I was stoked about them

If the big brittles are green WATCHOUT! The green ones are called the green death, because they eat sleeping fish. I lost one of my black clowns to mine.

Re: So what's next?

In my experience those damsels can be vicious.I would bring them back.Way to soon for a brittlestar or worst two of them.

Are the snails cone shape?
