Stocking Advice

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, 

 

I hope you are doing well.:smilie:


It has been around 8 months since my shallow nano started running. So I felt like adding corals and new fish slowly. The tank has been running only with black storm clownfish as fish stocking and rockwork. The tank has been gone thorough *beautiful* stages!


anyway..

 

Today I got me a pink frogspawn and a small frag of GSP, one skunk cleaner shrimp and one banggai cardinal. I want to lean towards easy to keep hardy options that I like the look of.
 

I love them all and these are all the fish (and coral) that made me want to enter this hobby at the beginning anyway. One thing I really want now is a good looking zoa garden and a green bubble coral

 

My tank dimensions are 50x40x25cmh/50liters. a shallow nano. No skimmer, just an Aquaclear HOB and a wavemaker. 
 

I am planning to keep rocks isolated, one big piece being covered by GSP, other one being a zoa garden. Planning to place bubble coral and frogspawn on different corners that wont reach any of the rocks to avoid potential damage

 

How does it sound? Any recommendations are welcomed as I am fairly new to saltwater world

 

in terms of stocking, I wanna add one more clownfish (wild colored A. Ocellaris) as I love the color orange. My clownfish has been alone for 7 months by now, does that automatically make the clownfish a female? Would it be problematic to introduce a smaller sized new fish bought from the store? 
 

I really like damsels and dottybacks but I read about the agression problems a lot. Same goes for a potential clownfish couple too. Im lost on what to add in the future


royal grammas are extremely expensive here. 
 

Any ideas or suggestions are welcomed! Looking for reef safe colorful fish/critter options ( I already have two black and whites)  that would preferably accept dry food (I do feed frozen food but would not like to solely depend on it)


thanks

Lennie
