minimalist Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Skip the percula. Too many fish if you include it. You could keep a small, small goby along with that blenny, though. Link to comment
lgreen Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Fish: Tail-spot (aka rainbow) blenny http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/...cfm?pCatId=2229 Black & White Percula Clown Fish First, I think two fish is way to many for a tank that size. Second, neither of those fish in my opinion are really suitable for that small of a tank. Keep in mind a clown full size get to be about 2-3 inches and that blenny also 2-3 inches. I would look for one fish that stays around 1-2 inches. I also don't know about the fire shrimp. I would look for something smaller like sexy shrimp. Link to comment
oogie Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I agree with above comments regarding fish. Otherwies it looks like you tank will be awesome!!! One thing though, blue leg hermits can turn in to "EVIL" hermit messing with your corals and killing snails. If you want hermit, I would stick with red leg hermits. Link to comment
Brian5280 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 That sounds like a great stock list for a 12g nano cube. Link to comment
lgreen Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Also... Alvepora I may be mistaken, but I believe those corals are pretty much impossible to keep alive Link to comment
SeanB Posted September 13, 2005 Author Share Posted September 13, 2005 Originally posted by Brian5280 That sounds like a great stock list for a 12g nano cube. That's my wish list. I don't plan on putting everything in the tank - most but not all. I guess I'll be going back to the drawing board on the fish - still I may go with the blenny alone. Originally posted by lgreen Also... Alvepora I may be mistaken, but I believe those corals are pretty much impossible to keep alive Actually, I think it's the oposite. They are supposed to be a pretty easy coral to care for. Did a quick search...from Peteducation.com "Being easier to care for than Goniopora, any of the Alvepora species make a good alternate for the novice reef aquarist. The Alveopora Daisy Coral requires a low to medium light level combined with a low water movement within the aquarium. For continued good health, it will also require the addition of calcium, strontium, and other trace elements to the water." Link to comment
lgreen Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I would ask on here about the alvepora. I wouldn't trust anything a that website says. Link to comment
