Question

Fish Ideas??


I am new to the salt water aquariums, and got a 20 gallon tank a few months ago. Right now whats in it is:

2 Oscellaris Clown Fish
1 Scooter Blenny
1 Snail
3 Hermit Crabs (1 small, 2 medium)

Any other suggestions of fish that I could add to my tank??

I would say you are at your limit... you might be able to stuff one or two more small fish in there but i would leave it the way it is.

Wouldn't good filtration help with more bioload?

welcome to TRT..

tashier, the main filtration will be the the LR and skimmer. so what is in the tank now is close to max. this is just one of the small problems we deal with if we want fish with the corals..

what kind of skimmer do you have on the system?

as the clowns grow and sort their sexes out they will become more aggressive. eventually that 20g tank will be considered theirs and they will chase any fish to death. remember clownfish are just ****sels with funny clothing.
