Whats in my tank & Can I add more Fish?

[bmallia82]

I have recently added about 1lb of Live Rock to my fish tank. I noticed that on the live rock, there was 3 round red looking things. Could possibly be fish eggs. Look like something they put on your sushi at a restauraunt. Any idea what it is, and if they are eggs is it safe?

Secondly, I have a 10 gallon Fish Tank. I currently have a Valentino puffer, small Hippo Tang ( very small), sabae clownfish, and a six line wrasse. Clean crew = 6 turbo snails, cleaner shrimp, one hermit crab, regular black snails, and 2 cool lookin snails w/ long while body that buries under the sand.

If I add a small Blenny would that be too many fish for my tank. I was hoping I could add that to my tank. Of course after that I would not be able to add anything else. Thank you


Also, Can I add a small horseshoe crab?

Thanks in advance

Nope can't add anymore Fish.

In fact, just to warn you... you'll probably get a chilly reception as soon as people see what you already have in that tank. Not one of those fish should be in a tank that size alone, having them in there together only makes it worse.

The puffer, tang, and wrasse all gotta go. It's not what you want to hear, but they will die in short order inside a 10.

Just the clown and the blenny would be enough, and that's pushing it.

Yea,

Its a starter tank that My friend gave me. I am going to move to a 20 or 30 gallon soon.

A 20 or 30 is still going to be too small for the tang and puffer.

This is true, however I was able to find one website that listed 20g as the minimum tank size for a juv valentini puffer. (2-3") So you should be ok there if you can figure out how to make it not grow, luckily it wont do much of that.

thanks for the fish answers. However I id have the first part of my question unanswered. What are these red balls in my tank. Fish eggs?

I'm going to guess algea but a picture would help. I would say they almost definitely aren't fish eggs though.
