compatability of fish?

[tommer725]

So I and getin a 3 by 3 by 15 inches tall tank. Here is my livestock

1 or 2 blue chromis

Mandarin
Clownfish
Flame angel
3 or so clams of good size
Algae blenny

My tank has the clams as first priority so yeah

A 10 inch tall tank is too short for a yellow tang, especially if you have a sandbed.

The tank is too small for the tang and the mandarin.

I would recommend a bigger tank with that selection and use the current tank as a frag tank.

What makes this not able to keep a mandarin? Actually it is 15 inches, not 10.now what about them?

 

[tommer725]

No tang too.

The tank probably cannot produce enough pods for the mandarins survival.

 

[tommer725]

Its 85 gallons plus a 30 or so sump for reference.

 

[tommer725]

Help!!

How much live rock in this tank? Also, does your sump have a refugium section with macro? You should be able to keep a mandarin, just give it a good 6 months. I agree that it is too small for the tang.

Be careful with the chromis. I have one that has started to bother
my mandarin.
