damnsel hosting a sunpolyp????!!!

what other fishes should i stock?...sofar i only have one damnsel.

Damsels are territorial and will probably kill any other fish you put in there. I would suggest sticking with 1 fish in a tank of that size. After displacement you are really only dealing with 8 gallons or so (probably less). Also from experiance sun corals are not a good coral to start with or have in a tank that small. Due to the amount you must feed them, your water quality goes down the tubes. JMO

P.S. stick the heater in the back chamber

yea, 1 fish maximum. Like stated above, damsels are aggresive. So is most other small (nano size) fish. The rock work looks great and i think will fill in nicely once you stock up on corals.

Wish you best of luck with it. seeing that mine got smashed during delivery.

look into the finnex 50 watt heaters they will fit in the back of your tank

thanks for the replys guys, i have since then moved the heater to the back. and as far as fish goes id like to have atlease 3, if need be ill remove the damnsel. my friend likes it, ill prolly give it to him. what are some "nice" non territorial fishes, besides clowns?

Damsels are real hardy so if you wish for three (which is NOT recommended)...

Go with 3 different damsels (domino, 3 stripe, and blue???)

If you want three fish get a bigger tank. That tank isn't large enough for three fish, it just a fact. Looks like you need to alot more research but these small tanks are more for small coral gardens then lots of fish. You could set up a larger FO for about the same price as a nano-cube. I see that you are already underway with this project but having a big bioload will only cause problems (algae, death, etc...) and will discourage you. If you MUST have more fish look into a pair of false perc, banggai (sp?) cardinals, I'm not sure what else but keep in mind the adult size of the fish you put in there not just how big they are when you buy them.
