My 110 w/35 gal sump has been running around 6 weeks. I have the SRO XP2000 skimmer, live rock, 2-3" live sand, some hermit crabs and snails, plus 3 peppermint shrimp, 1 fire shrimp, and 1 cleaner shrimp, plus 2 emerald crabs.
I have a small percula clown and a sunrise dottyback in quarantine with Cupramine and Prazi.
I plan to add the following fish in this order after quarantining them:
Raccoon butterfly
Longnose butterfly
Flame angel
Tang - powder blue, purple or hippo (1 only - can't decide whether to chance the PBT)
I am also considering adding one or two of the following:
Blue spot jawfish
Rainford goby
Helfrichi firefish
Six line wrasse
This would give me 4 sizable fish, the clown, and 2 or 3 or maybe 4 relatively small fish. Too many??
Are there any fish on the list that are incompatible with each other or the shrimp? From what I have read, there don't seem to be any particular incompatibilities but I have seen occasional mild warnings (e.g., the wrasse might bother some docile fish or the jawfish might eat small shrimp).
Some of the dottybacks can be aggressive but the sunrise seems to be less of a threat in this regard. I wonder whether it would bother the goby or firefish.
Thank you.
