Do you guys think this is to many fish ?

[Krazy]

I'm so curious about everything I have to ask...


I currently have in my tank the following fish:

1 cinnamon clown
1 yellow tang
1 flame hawkfish
1 royal gramma
1 bi-color blenny
pair or mated neon gobies
2 green chromis

none of the fish are huge by any means

is this to many ? or can I add more? and if I can how many??

the current fish all get along well and there is no aggression, even outta my cinnamon clown (she's to busy with the anemone, and pestering me at the glass for food)

Ahh haha there mista !!!

I just wanna know if I can get away with 1-2-3 more fish... (maybe?)

I love seeing action in the tank well and lots of fish

How big is the cinnamon clown & yellow tang?

I know what you are thinking.. LOL You want a Kole tang? huh?
Chris's is awesome. I never seen them with such color.

The fish you have now are fine IMO.. All basically small in size. Could get away with adding something. What do you have in mind?

Yes, that Kole tang is very pretty!!! Very active too !!!

MY cinnamon is about 2inchs and the tang is about 3, they are smaller yet bigger then the rest of my fish so I figured I could get away with HOPEFULLY 2 more fish but 3 would be cool, I was thinking a blue hippo tang (if I can get away with him) or the kole tang and maybe 2 fire fish or something of the smaller nature

I like the smaller Hippo Tangs. 1 1/2-2" Most i have seen have Ich so they would need QT & treatment. Firefish are very Kool. They tend to stick together and school being their timid nature.

I'd like to get 4-6 of them. Maybe 3 firefish and 3 purple firefish. Mix up the color some. Its hard to draw the line on fish. I'd also like to add a Diamond Watchman & a Solon fairy wrasse.

I'll keep it limited till i can upgrade. I've been cleaning my skimmer every other day. No problems with my current stocking shown in water tests. Everything tests zero.

The rule-of-thumb I use is 1 inch of fish per every four gallons of display tank.

 

[jallard]

yea add a ick free hippo tang

 

[monti-mike]

I think part of it is people forget how big some of these fish will actully get if given optimal growing/food.........i my self have a 180 gallon tank and 3-5 fish is pleanty but thats me........

the other thing is bio load on the system and stress on the fish, for u Krazy K i think u could go with a couple more but as long as they are not gooing to be huge fish >>?

peace

[michaelg]

I agree- you can add a couple more fish- the number really depends on the size as mike mentioned. a fairy wrasse might be an option. If you have sand, a watchman goby or jawfish are options.

With all things already mentioned I am adding my thoughts here. It also depends on the quality of your filtration, keeping nitrates and phosphates under control. And to a lesser, but important, extent the natural, peaceful, coexistance between species.

I say you need a bigger tank...............


this way you could snorkel with them too
