Thank you little fish. I am definitely taking my time stocking. I am looking at a time frame of sometime next spring for purchasing ponies, after the cold weather clears and I have finished the rest of my setup for them. I have been reading everything that is posted here, linked through here, and everywhere else I can find about them. My LFS sucks so I will not be buying from them, they only carry damsels- thus my current inhabitant. My tank is a 29 tall which makes it 24"wide x 24" tall x 12" deep. The only surviving members of my cuc are snails since the peppermint shrimp just bought it. I won't get hermits or crabs because of the bad reviews on here, I might possibly get a serpent star sometime in the near future though. As far as captive breed goes, that is all I will buy, not only fish but corals, and inverts. I am trying to take my time and be consciensous in my stocking.
So,
