Kraylen Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Im assuming neon psuedo, which will wreck havoc on that tank.. Its already overstocked with the fish he/she has in it. I would say remove one of the fish and be happy with that.

If it's a hawkfish your gobies days are numbered. Link to comment

My lfs came by to do a water change and said it is a type of hawk fish but i think it is a type of blenny and my params are are next to nothing. IMO you should Id the unknown fish in your tank before putting it in there. You got a pic? I do but i dont know how to post a pic yet im a noob here. and i know it was a risky move to put the fish in there but i was younger and newer to the aquarium trade but it paid off hes a good eater loves pods and is very interesting fish.

BLoCkCliMbeR Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 trade in the hawk fish.... if you must have a tank full of fish, get a bigger tank... they need some rule to tell folks like.... one 2'' fish per 5 gal... Link to comment
weeber Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 well then i probaly wont get another fish then but thats why i started this tread to gain knowledge. Link to comment
BLoCkCliMbeR Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 i gain knowledge by googling Link to comment
Kraylen Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 There is no fish inch per gallon rule in Saltwater, its a stupid rule in the first place. If you dont know what you're doing you dont need to be in Saltwater.. you need to research and THEN start a tank... not start ish then start asking questions when stuff goes wrong that is obvious. If you can't tell the difference between a hawkfish and a blenny you need to stop. Also, post stuff in the right forum and the mods will love you Link to comment

BLoCkCliMbeR Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 i know there isnt a "fish per gal" rule for saltwater (actually there has been books written with one but, eh it was wrong) as far as fish per gal rule, it doesnt encompass the behavior of the specific fish......take a percher vs a schooler.....in the ocean, a perchers territory might only be a couple square feet where as schoolers need miles of terr. if the fishes adult size is no more than 2'' and its not a schooler, then 5 gal should be fine....like all the lil gobies and what have you folks are keepin in picos.... the vastness of the ocean boggles the minds of some people...... heck i bet cha that a lot of noobers havent even seen the ocean let alone the reef.... just remember kiddies....the ocean is a big place, keepin a fish in a lil tank is like you being locked in the trunk of a honda Link to comment
