Fish Mixtures for a New Tank

hatty324 · 03-10-2006, 11:24 PM

So as some of you know, I'm startin up a new 75G SW tank. The absolute must haves for me in the tank are: 2 Perc Clowns and at least 1 Cleaner Shrimp.

I promised my gf she could pick out a fish, so far shes picked out two she likes (not buyin fish for a couple months so not in a hurry). Was wondering if people had opinions of which of the two would be better, specially with Clowns.

Kaudern's Cardinal

Coral Beauty Angelfish

On the comparison chart they both say they are compatible with Clowns. The top one says it would need a cave, and in my plans for my tank I planned on having a cave. My GF likes both a lot, so either one will work for her. Just wondering if anyone had any opinions on either of the two, especially with Perc Clowns.

get like 2 or 3 of thoes cardinals theyre really cool and will spawn and they are live barers so are easy to breed

Both would be fine with the clowns. The angel will be iffy with corals

Are they somewhat active swimming around teh tank, or do they mainly just stick to a cave? And do you know of any such problems with Clowns?

Yeah I hear that the Angel isn't the best with Coral.

I want both in my tank as well as the clown. I think I would put in the cardinal fish first. They are such striking fish. I want a couple of them, and a pajama cardinal fish so they can all swim together.

Lets say I get the 2 Clowns, 1 Cardinal and 1 Angel....is there any order I should put them in? Or do I not have to worry about order of addition to the tank?

It's ideal to put them in meekest to meanest...but I am not sure what that is in your case. Soz.
