X-posted from another forum in hopes of getting some advice/comments.
As my 16gal is in the last leg of its cycle, I'm starting to second guess my original fish plans. Ideally I'd like a pair of false perculas: an orange/white & black/white, & a neon or other smaller goby. I'm interested in the clowns for their behavior, & I've been reading that they spawn quite readily in home aquaria. I'm not planning on raising fry, so now I'm worried that the spawning/eating of eggs or fry will cause continuous spikes in my water parameters.
Am I being overly paranoid? Is this something that can easily be handled by more diligent water changes around that time? Any advice from those who keep their clowns in pairs for fun would be appreciated
