I DO want another fish, but can't make up my mind. I like so many of the smaller fish, but I realize I could add 1 or maybe 2 more fish to my 30g tank and then it would be at max IMO.
I wish I had the $$$ to set up my 90g tank. I'd have about 20 little bitty fish in there. :mrgreen:
1 Pigmy Angel
Red Striped Gobies (at least 4)
Blue Chromis' (at least 4 maybe 5)
1 more Occelarous Clown
2 or 3 Orange Lined Cardinals
2 or 3 Yellow Headed Jawfish
2 or 3 Chalk Bass
Thats probably WAY overstocked. I just like schooling fish. Many of the fish I listed do well in small groups. They also occupy and use different parts of the overall tank.
The pygmy angel will cruise back and forth all day and pick at the rocks. This is more of a "maybe" fish to be added last. I plan to have a tank full of acans and zoas. If it took a bite of anything, I'd have to trade it off.
The red striped gobies will hang out on rocks all day and do a little darting around together, but I'll bet they would stay close to the rocks.
The blue chromois will stay in the middle of the tank and probably swim laps all day
The pair of clowns will find a corner and settle down permanently
The orange lined cardinals will cruise open water and hide out under overhangs but I doubt they will interfear with the red stripe gobies due to size differences.
The chalk bass will probably hover around here and there, moving slowly around the rocks throughout the day. I'm guessing these will behave like a miniature large-mouth bass. Ambush predator that sits around most of the time.
The jawfish will pick a spot in the sand and dig a few burrows here and there. Only venturing into open water at feeding time.
