My Fish Wish List

[sondaar]

Hi everyone! My Tank has been cycling for 2 weeks now Ammonia is 0, Nitrate is 10 and lowering as of 4 days ago Nitrate was 20. Added 20 red legged hermit crabs yesterday and now the kids are wanting fish! I know it is too early for fish now but we are seting up our fishy wishy list. Will not add any for at least 2 weeks maybe more depending on tank parameters. Hers what we have so far.


1 Six Line Warasse
1 Fox Face
1 Mated pair Clowns(dont know which clowns yet)
5 Blue Reef Chromis


I think we are going to need some sort of sand sifting goby but cant decide on which one. Will that be too many fish? Good combo? What else could we add to work the sand? And which ones should be added first? 90 gallon with 30 gallon sump,skimmer and T5 Constellation for lighting. Gonna start after fish with corals but have to make kids and wife happy with fish first. Any advise will be greaatly appreciated!

Thanks
Mike

thats a good list i would add the sixline in last saying they are aggressive, i would wait on the sand sifting goby until the sand matures a bit more, you can get a conch as well thats what i have and keeps the sand clean.

Anyone know if the Chromis will "School" , hang out together or just ignore each other?

They will sometimes hang out together but not " school"

Initially when they are juvenile they will school, eventually they start to kill each other off though.

Chromis will school if you think of reform school. They are great looking fish, but I have never been able to keep more than one alive. I felt sorry for the first Chromis I bought, so I got four more, which turned to into three, two, one. Tried a second time with the same results. I don't know how they survive in nature, but they don't last as group in most tanks.
