Fish for a BioCube 29

[bhskicker18]

I had a post last week or 2 weeks ago about stocking a BioCube 29. I hate to say it, but I got home today and my Atlantic Pygmy Angelfish passed away . So I was wondering of any reef compatable dwarf angelfish. I wouldn't mind another Atlantic Pygmy, BUT I have already had two and they both passed away, but 3rd time's a charm so idk. But I want an Angelfish, but its not necessary. So what fish can I put in a BioCube 29. I currently have a O. Clownfish and YWG in a 10 Gallon that will be transfered to the 29, but I'm leaning toward putting the YWG in my Eclipse 12 and putting the clownfish in the 29 with 4-5 other fish. And, what type of starfish would be good for a BioCube 29 if I decide to get one down the road?

 

 

 

Thanks,

Will

figure out why they are dying first then get another one... but the coral beauty angel is good for a bc29 i had one in mine for about 6 months till she got to big and traded her in for some clowns

The first one died last year, some time between April and June because I didn't put algea sheets in the tank and the tank had 0 algea in it...... My mistake on that one. Yesterday I saw my Chocolate Chip Starfish, Chip, on a large Turbo Snail. I looked and the Turbo seemed dead so I was going to let Chip eat hin, he caught it, he can eat it.......big mistake. After I saw this, I went to my Grand Parents house and didn't get back home untill around 7:50pm tonight, I looked to see if Chip eat all of the snail, and I noticed that he wsa in the same possition that he was in when I left and that my Atlantic Pygmy Angelfish was floating at the top. When I left yesterday he was fine, just like a normal day. So I removed the snail and the Angelfish. So I put my new skimmer I bought for my BioCube (not the BioCube skimmer, but some kind of internal one, I for got its name) so I left the hood cracked abot 2-3 inches and went to Hardee's (by the way, Hand Battered Chicken Tenders are AWSOME!!!!!) get home and I can't find my 6-Line wrasse! I look on the floor, nothing, looked in the tank, nothing. I didn't pick the rocks up and check under them so homefully hes scared of the skimmer and decided to hide!

 

But I think the Snail died of natural causes and must of poisioned the tank or something, because I think (not a marine biologist) its kind of weird that both a snail and my Angelfish die either the same day (yesterday) or 1 day apart. But again, its a guess as I'm not a marine Biologist lol. All of this happened in my Eclipse 12 lol

hmmm it might be possible the snail caused it ive always wondered the same thing cuz i have 2 turbos die but i pull them right out when i see it for fear if it posioning the tank... have you checked your parameters and everything? six line can hide about anywhere but usually not for long last time i thought mine was just hiding he was stuck in the rock so just keep in eye out

6-Line is swimming around when the lights came on! But I really think it was the Turbo Snail that posinioned the tank or something. Everything was perfect.

hmm everything seems good, id do a good sized water change just to try and flush anything out of there and make sure everything is going wel for a few days then maybe throw another fish in there if youd like

I think I'm not going to put anymore fish in the Eclipse 12 until I get the BioCube 29 up and running. I almost got a Jet Black O. Clownfish Saturday. No orange on his body, not on the mouth, not on the nose, no where! I didn't cause I had 6 line and Angel in the 12 and a clown and a YWG in the 10. I might go tomorrow and get it.

 

But does this sound good for the BioCube 29:

1 O. Clownfish

1 Royal Gramma

1 Zebra Barred Dartfish

either 1 Purple Firefish OR 1 Cherub Angelfish, Flame, or Coral Beauty (After the tanks matured for about 8 months to a year)

1 Citrinus Goby

 

I had a regular FireFish with a Zebra Barred Dartfish (I got the Dartfish on a Sunday) and I got home from school on Tuesday and there was no Dartfish So I don't know what happened. But will a Purple Firefish and a Zebra Barred Dartfish be compatable?
