Stocking my Nuvo Fusion 30L, 3 fish vs 5 fish
Hey guys
I really have no idea what to continue stocking my tank with now. Right now there are 2 Oscellaris Clownfish in there (I know, they should have been put in last). Anyways, I'm trying to decide between 3 and 5 fish. I know if I go the 5 fish route, they would have to be smaller varieties, and if I choose 3 fish, I could go for something slightly larger. Does anyone have an idea of what I should try to go for? I'm just trying to avoid having 4 fish, because that number is supposedly bad luck. Thanks all! |

With a pair of clowns in the tank, I would stick with one more fish. The clowns will not appreciate any other fish in their tank once they are mature.

Cool, then 1 more fish it is.
Anyone have recommendation on which one to get? Something colorful and active are always cute to look into the tank. The lawnmower blenny looks absolutely hilarious, but that one's usually at the bottom of the tank though |

Blennies are great fish. I had a tailspot blenny & loved the personality!! He used to sit on the mag float & watch me work. When I would lean over to look at the tank he'd kiss the glass sometimes.

You could also go for one of the smaller wrasses like a fairy or flasher, colorful and pretty active.

I second both fish biscuit and donkey Kong. I have a tailspot and he's hilarious to watch. They always look paranoid. I think you could do a blenny and a fairy or mystery wrasse. I've got a 34 shallow rimless with 2 percula, 1 tailspot and 1 orchid dottyback.
