What other fish can I get for my tank!!

Thomas184 · 01/17/2008, 03:44 PM

I have a thirty gallon tank. I have two clown fish, one dottyback and a dogy. I'm planning to get two cleaner shrimp and of course a nem and some corals but I'm wondering if I can throw another fish in there and if I can what kind of fish should I get?

What's a dogy?

papagimp · 01/17/2008, 04:14 PM

My personal opinion, maybe one more fish, in about a month or two. definatly slow down some.

tank is awfully small so keep that in mind when adding an anemone and corals together. If the anemone doesn't have sufficient room, he can easy wipe out plenty of corals.

And one cleaner shrimp is going to be MORE than needed, don't get two.

TMZ, a dogy is one of those furry little four legged animals that lick ya all over your face and poops on the carpet right before company shows up.

I'm smiling. I drove 60 miles through a snow storm on Teusday to a dairy farm and brought home two adorable border collie pups.Can't finish this post gotta go clean some poop.

I share the concerns of the posts above. Here is a helpful stocking guide: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/in...opic=74703&hl= Copy and paste the link in your browser. Unfortunately, it does not help with compatability. Many live aquaria websites have compatability charts and there is always Scott Michael's Pocketbook Guide to Marine Fishes.

Norward, you have the wrong link posted, that link brings you to the forums page.

Larah · 01/17/2008, 10:56 PM

Dang! I'd sure like the correct link... Then I might get to know what a dogy is..

Under his listings for current tanks it says 1 dogy (dora) I would take that to mean that he has a regal in there. I hope I am wrong, but since I have an 8 and 10 year old at home we are pretty familar with Finding Nemo, so that is where my mind went. Otherwise I am with everyone else and curious as to what a dogy is.

If the "Dogy" is either a Regal tang (dorie) Or a Dog Faced Puffer you SERIOUSLY need to either (A) invest in a MUCH MUCH MUCH larger tank or (B) Return the fish to LFS where you got is because it is FAR to big for a 30g tank!!! hopefully what your calling a "dogy" is some other breed of fish that i am not Aware of!
