Wait untill you've had stable params for about a month before adding shrimp.
That way you dont have to worry swings that stree the inverts.

Re: Altohombre's 46 Gallon Showcase Showdown!

how long should I wait to add another fish? My clowns are True Percula so I know they are somewhat territorial. Do they need a while to establish their territory before adding another fish to the tank?

I'd give it 2 or 3 weeks before adding another fish.

I waited 3 weeks after the clowns. I waited as little as a week after my firefish, but anything territorial, or anything with size I waited 2-3

Damn, it was so hard looking at a naked tank and now that there is two inhabitants I can't stop watching them. Now I feel like it is naked with just those two and want to give them more things to entertain them. I guess this is why people can't stop buying things for their tank.

Dude you're playing the waiting game a lot better than most of us. Keep up the good patience, its rewards are well worth it. You save a lot of money that way.

I think I am going to be able to borrow a digital camera this week. I am anxious to take the pictures and get some feedback.
