Ready to go fishin'........

painkiller · 06/02/2011, 04:11 PM

I am very new on here. Hello all!!

I have had this up and running for a year now, and never had a single fish! I think it's time. Would love to get a mated pair of the Australian Black Perculas. It's a 29G Biocube. Any other cool fish I could add without too much bioload? Hopefully the pic worked and you can see my tank. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Very nice tank!

If you decide on getting the clowns, leave them be. No neighbors. If not, a royal gramma's cool.

I think you could get the clowns but they can get up to 5 inchs long and that, IMO would be the max for your tank. I don't think from the pic you showed the bioload would be an issue. JMO

You can get a pair of clowns + 1 more nano fish. Clowns are slow growers and it will take a VERY long time to get them to that size.

sweet tank.clowns are a good way to go, although you may have some issues with clowns taking up host in your corals and "loving" them to death. snag a goby\pistol shrimp pair and you should be set

yea there are lots of small gobys...and that is eally a cool combo with the shrimp....make sure you get the clowns you want, I have a pair of gb maroons that I've had for about five years....I have been dreaming of **name removed because of legal threat from trademark holder**s, but there is no way I am risking another pair in my tank (and my tank is 180g) These guys are VERY territorial, and mean as hell when someone comes into their house

Heh, wow !! Thanks for the replies and the compliments ! Yeah, I am proud of my little tank. Not bad for a 1st time. Looking very forward to the clowns. Anxious to get some new life in there, plus something that actually moves and swims around

!! No more "fishless" fish tank for me ! Yowza!
