Stocking question...

BenH98 · 02/15/2006, 01:19 PM

I am looking to add 2 more fish to what I have now

To Add:
- 6 Lined Wrasse
- blue-green chromis

Right now in my 25 gallon reef I have:
- (2) false percs
- Orange spotted goby
- cleaner shrimp

I have some other softies 2 BTA's and a couple leathers.. if needed I could list them all out.

Is it ok to add the 2 fish I want?

chromis tend to do much better in groups, so if i were you i would go with the 6 lined wrasse, they are very active and they have great personalities in a reef tank.

chromis, in my experience, do best in larger aquariums in groups as i mentioned.

So I should just skip on the chromis altogether? Or is there enough for 2 chromis?

Ditch the chromis and get the six line. Or instead of the six line check out some fairy wrasses.
