Can I add anymore fish?

[kingtoad]

60 gallon tank, 85lbs of Live Rock.

I currently have:

1 black cap basslet
1 bi-color dwarf
1 true percula

I want to add some more. What do you suggest?

 

[HartfordWhalers]

Get a clown goby, they are hot

 

[kingtoad]

Those are nice fish.

 

[nepuck]

need more info.

How old is the tank?
What are your test results?

 

[tanker]

A wrasse 6-line, solaris, Scott's Fairy, possum, ect. All good.

I agree.

I love my 6-line.

 

[MrChico]

I have an 8-line two extra lines for the same price

 

[staninct]

You def need a wrasse of some type!

I need a lot of cocopods (sp?) for a blenny, right? I seen one of those at the LFS today, I really liked it.

I'd go with a shrimp goby/ pistol shrimp pair.

 

[jmaclenn]

All suggestions above are good. Don't go with a dragonette or "mandarin goby" yet - they are the ones who need lots of copapods and your system is too new and too small for one of these.

blennys of certain species will happily eat prepared foods...

I have a midas blenny, and he has learned to eat out of my turkey baster and the feeding dish for my seahorses.

that said, so has my yellow headed jawfish-yet another GREAT fish, if you have a sandbed of at least 2 inches.

Indeed. Until I start noticing a lot of Copopods I'm going to stay away from things like that.

Mandarins are hot.

I recently got a pygmy possum wrasse and love it. it was really shy at first, but is out all the time now. He gets along with everyone. I highly recommend them.

 

[PelagicMagic]

my bicolor blenny ate lifeline and mysis.

 

[kingtoad]

I looked at my tank today (the sand bad) and I notice quite a few copods running about. I looked in my Sump, and there were a whole bunch of them.

Would a Mandarin goby be happy?

 

[kingtoad]

How come there are a lot of pods in my sump but not in my main tank?
