Ryan_E Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Current livestock: 1 - "mocha" ocellaris clownfish 2 - red firefish 1 - yellow watchman goby 1 - tiger pistol shrimp 1 - cleaner shrimp I have an SCA 45 gallon tank (24" x 20" x 20") I want to add the following fish: 1 - black ocellaris clownfish 1 - six line wrasse 1 - flame hawkfish Any suggestions as to the order I should add these fish? Any suggestions on adding a clownfish to a tank that already has a single clownfish living in it (I know the new one should be smaller, the current one is approximately an inch and a half). I am trying to avoid getting any of the fish killed haha. Link to comment
Matteo Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 do not add a six line, you will regret it. I say get your clown a buddy! They are awesome in pairs! Also hawkfish most likely will eat your shrimp. Link to comment

Also hawkfish most likely will eat your shrimp. I already had a six line in the tank for awhile, but it ended up dying on me randomly. It was an awesome fish, and did not have any major aggression issues like some I read about. That is my fear with the hawkfish as well. The pistol is about 2-3" and I would say the cleaner is easily 3"+ Think they would be goners at that size? Link to comment

I am just a huge fan of clown pairs. Link to comment

Matteo Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 um sorta. I had a pair the one died then I added another a week later. If they are the same size you should be fine. Or if you get a smaller one it will be harassed a little bit because the bigger one will be claiming dominance to become a female, once that is established you will be good to go. Link to comment
outerorbiter Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 how about a pink streaked wrasse/crytic wrasse. They are cool active fish that bother no others in the tank. Took me a little while to find one but its great. Link to comment
