40 gallon stocking
I have a 40 gallon mixed reef with a CPR HOB skimmer and an ac 110 filled with bio rings and pond matrix. My current fish are 1 firefish, 1 ocellaris clownfish, 1 red parrot wrasse, 1 blue velvet damsel, and 1 blue spotted watchmen goby. Can my system handle more fish? I would like to add 1-3 more fish. Any fish suggestions? I would like to add one more clownfish, one firefish, and maybe a dwarf angelfish. Is there any suggestions on what I should run in the ac 110? Thanks for any feedback!

I would say that you are already over your max. The parrot wrasse alone needs a 90 gallon MINIMUM.

I think you are at the stocking limit but it depends on how your fish have established their territories and if you can handle additional bioload. If you do a dwarf I'd aim for a Pygmy. Would caution a clown as mated clowns can be aggressive and territorial. Paired firefish are probably ok. You could do a blenny. The fish that brings the most concern to me is the damsel. Those things are mean.

Which I'm guessing why he says 30 gallons minimum. Yes, Live Aquaria says 90.. To answer the question. You are pretty much at the tanks limit. I wouldn't add anymore fish. |
