Black Clown?

[taylormatic]

I was wondering if I could add one to my tank.
my tank is small (8gallon), maybe too small for this fish at all,
but if I could, I would really enjoy having this little guy in my tank
I only have one other fish (possum wrasse) but he is very very gentle and I'm reluctant to add a clown because I'm afraid he'll harass my wrasse

thanks in advance for your help! :beer:

I would be afraid that the clown might harass the possum wrasse and if you do hopefully you have a lid for your tank.

IMO, why mess something up if its perfect, maybe you could do something else such as improve your equipment or add a soft coral.

I do have a lid on the tank,
and I suppose I'm just super anxious to get something new since my tank its practically new/bare right now! :worried:
I only have live rock, snails, hermits, one fish, and a small group of zoas. :sad1:

And it's only 8 gallons. It sounds full to me, and it will look more full to you when you add more corals. If you want more fish, get a bigger tank.

I totally agree. Adding another fish would be problematical.

thank you everyone for your advice
I'm just going to be patient and get more coral instead of fish!

Good decision. Lots of gorgeous animals out there other than fish!

If you mean tank bred ocellaris, i would give it a try. I have one in my 100g and he is my fav. fish. He only stays in one section of the tank so i don't think a small tank would be a problem. It's up to you!

Clown in a 100G vs clown in an 8G. I'd stick with the possum wrasse. Cool fish and if you get some coral, you'll be happier.

Put a picture of Larry & Curly next to the tank. Two fish in less than 8 gallons of water is really asking for trouble; there is just no room for any error in a tank that small.
