whats better?

[jonathansruelas]

ok so if i plan to keep some of the smaller reef fishes such as dwarf angels, small foxface, hawkfish, sixline wrasse, and percula clowns is it a better to have more caves and previces than it is for open space for swimming? :fish1:
i have around 82-85 pounds of LR, and have created alot of caves but im not sure if i should remove some. my tank is 55 gallons.
appreciate the help..

With what you want to keep the cave system would be best. Dwarf angels love caves and will often keep to one area by "their" cave. Not to sure about the foxface but I guess it would be fine.

so i wouldnt need much open space for swimming then?

you might wanna check and see if they will all get along before you put them together it might save you some time and $$$$$$

Sounds to mee like they will all get along and benefit from your current arrangement. The Foxface will be the fish that likes to swim so you may want to make sure he has some room. Also, your "small" Foxface wont be small forever so be prepared to remove him at some date as he will definately outgrow the 55.

ok thanks for the replies and yea i know i would probably have to give up the foxface back either in trade or store credit.. i will leave the rocks i have, i know there will be plenty of caves for them.. thanks again
