Starting a new tank..

[polancoeddie1]

What kind if fish can I add together? I have a 29g bio cube tank with live sand, 23lb of live rock, adding corals in the future.. also have a protein skimmer chemi pure elite, with purigen. I was planning on adding 1 clownfish 1 mandarin dragonate, 1 six line wrasses, and 1 more fish in the future. I will be also adding some snails, and hermit crabs. I am a newbie what do you guys think of this setup?

Too small for a mandarin (not enough pods for food) and would lose the 6 line as well as they get aggressive

^agree. The mandarin will starve and the six line will become even more aggressive in such small quarters. Go on Liveaquaria's website and do a search. IME gobies, firefish, some basslets and possum wrasses will be ok in your tank. Stay away from tangs and angels. They need more room.

I looked it up on that website, it says it needs to be in a 30g tank or bigger.. also did more research mostly everone said it cant live there becouse it neef pods to eat. That website is a little misleading

Liveaquaria is not misleading, you should try to better understand the needs of the fish you want.

You can also try WetWebMedia.com. Bob's advice is solid and he's not trying to sell fish Mandarins need a lot of rock in order to hunt hiding pods. Unless you have a 100 gallon tank or bigger a refugium is also needed.

#5 like I said im a newbie and trying to understand "the saltwater world" if I didnt care about fishes and my tank I would've just bought it without trying to find out info. Thanks from evryone else given me great advice. I will find another fish that is compatible with my tank
