New to the board, want to intoduce myself and my tank...

[fredweezy]

Been up for a year and suffered a Clown Trigger massacre. It is a 125 with a porc puffer, niger trig, undy trig, princess parrotfish, and black volitan lion...all juvis (going to add a few more before all is said and done)

I am currently working on two solo tanks one for the Undy and one for a Clown Trig or Queen Trig if I can get my hands on one.

I wouldn't add more if I were you, I'd get a bigger tank.

 

[fredweezy]

Which fish would get too big? I do plan on upgrading to a 300g eventually though and the Undy is def comming out within the year, right now it is about 2".

 

[TAZ316]

all of your triggers, the volitan and the parrot will get very very big. how soon till you upgrade to the 300 gl.

Niger is at 3", Undy 2", Lion 3", Puffer 5"...the only fish I see getting over a foot would be the Lion or the Niger and that will take a while.

The Porc. will also be one of those that will grow to over 12" long.

If you add anything else, it'll eventually have to be taken out, as they all grow.

I'd leave everything as is, for right now and just enjoy watching the little ones grow.

 

[TAZ316]

I agree with NorthFace. Just sit back and enjoy what you have. They'll be there for a long time.

What I planned on was taking out the Undy and putting in a Bluethroat, Dogface puff, and Harlequin Tusk. Have you had experience with all these fish in my tank?

 

[fredweezy]

How long you think before I have to remove the Undy, btw?

 

[kraze3]

How big is your Princess Parrot, have any pics?

 

[fredweezy]

The parrot is like 3" constantly grazing on the LR, no I don't have any pics though. Definately more personable than I thought it would be and acclimated well (surprisingly)...

Princess Parrots max out at a foot, some of the other get huge.

 

[kraze3]

Oh well a bit smaller than I thought, but still a big fish to keep.

True, but that is its max, most people think that all fish will reach that length but rarely do in captivity.
