1 clown and 2 blue/green chromis


Hi,
We started with 5 chromises and 2 clowns, but, as fish will die, are left with one clown (false perc) and two chromises. A little gun shy now, to add more fish..After my husband and I finish our respective vacations in the next few weeks, we'll start looking at getting more fish. Anyway - any recommendations? Another clown? I just one OK? He seems quite happy and he and the two chromises seem to hang around together - everyone is happy. I think we'd like to get a few more chromises also - any problem adding them in? Might also like to get a yellow tang (if the tank is large enough) and some sort of gobie.

Specs: 90 gallon with approx. 90 lbs. live rock and live sand bottom. No corals yet..three peppermint shrimp and our clean-up crew of snails and crabs.
Here is sort of a side shot of the tank (some of the rocks have since been rearranged, but basically the same).

one clown is a lot better than more than one. they are very aggressive, generally you will always end up with one when it comes to clowns.

as for the chromis. usually odd numbers do better than even numbers. they are fragile when small so expect losses when first introduced to a tank. i would definately try to add another, to either get to 3 or 5.
