Adding Semi-Aggressive Fish

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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?

hard to say but I like my shrimp too much to get a hawkfish. I am just a huge fan of clown pairs.

I like my shrimp too. That is definitely the fish I am on the fence about.

 

Did you add your clowns at the same time?

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.

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.
