would this be 1 to many?

[kkyyllee]

i have a 12 g AP with 2 turbo snails, 2 blu leg hermits, and 1 green reef chromis, the tnak has cycled and water parameters are good

Zero amonia, Nitrite, and Nitrate

tommorow im getting a false perc. clownfish and was wondering if 2 would overload my tnak or increase bioload to quickly?


would they get agressive if paried?

thanks for any input
:lol:

I have a good friend with two true perc's in a 12g, but it's just them with a few shrimps and snails and stuff.

yeah i have the green chromis but its only about an inch , but then it mite grow later on

Yeah, I'm not really sure how much your filtration can handle. There are some general rules as far as how much bioload per volume a tank can handle, but I don't have them off the top of my head.

3 fishes in a 12 g is too much IMO. Get the chromis out, then you can get a pair of clowns.

and get clowns today
thanks guys

Agreed. If you want to put in a 3rd fish, do something beneficial and small, like a neon goby. Chromis can get quite large.
