Fish Compatability

The Fat Panther · 02/15/2009, 09:55 PM

I don't know if any of you saw my 29 gallon build thread, but apparantley it gets deleted after it passes 5 pages. Which irritates me a lot.
I was wondering if these fish were compatable, I was thinking about putting them together in my reef tank.

2 Clowns, (either perculas, false percs, picassos or nakeds)
Dwarf/Falco's Hawkfish
Bluespotted Jawfish
Yellow Watchman Goby
Maybe a firefish or some sort of dwarf angel.

Is that overcrowding if I have a 29 gallon tank with a 20 gallon sump?
I have Nova Extreme T5 lighting and an AQUA-EURO 100 protein skimmer.

that combination will be fine--not overcrowding but I notice you are getting a protein skimmer---that would be a good idea

That would be 60-90inches of fish which is definitly too much.
Also I updated my sig but it must have not went through... I got my skimmer setup yesterday and it's running smoothly.

First, here is your thread -- it wasn't deleted.

I would pass on the blue spotted jawfish --- have a very poor track record.

Littlefish, I have no idea where you're getting the idea that 2 or 3" of fish/gallon water is or was ever a rule. Even in Freshwater that's way too much fish. You're talking 20-30" of fish in a 10 gallon aquarium??? Uggghhh

The Fat Panther · 02/15/2009, 11:56 PM

I think it was 1" per 2-3 gallons haha.

Ocellaris clown
