MarkFernandez2103 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I have a 45 gallon tank with 2 inches of sand and 30 Pounds of live rock. I was wondering if I can add anymore fish or am I overstocked I have the following 2x Occelaris Clownfish 1x Firefish 1x Yellow Watchman Goby 1x Banggai Cardinal 1x 1 inch One spot foxface (Which I will get rid of when it is bigger but at around what length should I get rid of it?) Other things inhabiting the tank are 1x Skunk Cleaner Shrimp 1x Tiger pistol shrimp 1x peppermint shrimp And an assortment of snails and hermit crabs Also if I can add some fish or once I get rid of the foxface can you guys suggest fish that are reef and invertebrate safe that would be stunning and maybe even a "show peace" in this tank. Also how big should the foxface be when I get rid off it because I want to keep it as long as possible. PS I will be giving the foxface to my friend with a 220 gallon FOWLR tank with puffers and a Marine Betta Link to comment
seabass Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 The foxface is the showpiece. Just keep it, and you are fully stocked. Sure the tank is a little small, but I think it will be OK. Any possibility you might upgrade to a 75 gallon (4') tank? If you still plan on getting rid of it as it gets larger, I'd probably say 5" would be a good time. It will do better with predators if it is on the larger size. Link to comment
gmanreefer Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Maybe a single blue chromis for more movement / different color . I think it's pretty close to stocked depending on your wc schedule / filtration equipment If you don't have corals in the tank that makes a difference also . Do you think you could get away with a marine betta in that tank? they are so cool Link to comment
dpoltsdsu Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 What is your maintenance schedule/ filtration? Link to comment
