Possible tankmates

[webster444]

Hi all, I am new to marine tanks and once again I'm after abit of help from yous!

I currently have in my tank: 1 algae blenny, 4 green chromis, 1 cleaner shrimp, 6turbos, 2 dwarf hermits, 1 zoa, 1 toadstool, 1 pu55y, 1 green striped mushroom and 1 medusa (excuse the coral names if they are not correct!) the tank is a juwel rio240 with 30kg Fiji live rock and t5 lighting.

My question is what other fish could I keep with what I have and what other corals would go well? Thanks very much in advance

You could put a pair of clowns in and as many softies as you can get in as long as you space them out of each others reach. Twiggy

I was thinking a pair of clowns with some sort of anemone for them to host but what type of anemone would be suitable? Is there anything else I can keep, I was thinking along the lines of 1 firefish with the clowns, is there any angel fish or butterfly fish I can keep with them?

PS what other softies is there that I can keep??

Thanks again

I wouldn't put a nem in there myself as your quite new to the hobby, they need special care and your new clowns would host a soft coral quite happily, providing you do not have too much flow, mushrooms are nice and come in lots of colours and very easy to keep, also sinularia is great, Mine won't stop growing and my clown hosts that, again very easy to keep.

As said by Mike dont get an Anemone as most dont survive, there are some nice sized softies that dont get to big i would stay with what Mike as suggested. Twiggy

What about a dwarf angel? bi colour,flame, coral beauty do a bit of research on them first but they aren't that hard to keep provided you meet there requirements

[webster444]

Right i have been doing some research and have compiled a list please leave some comments on wether it would work or any potiential problems...
2 x common or percula clowns
1 x coral beauty
1 x flame firefish
2 x emperor or pyjama cardinals
3 x regal or tri colour damsels
1 x cleaner wrasse

How big is your tank webster?

[ejit]

damsels can be a bit of a pain sometimes with cardinals and clowns if they are put in the tank first.

[webster444]

Tank is 240l

ok ill maybe leave the damsels then

[webster444]

Anymore views on my list or is it pretty good if i just avoid the damsels??

[ejit]

the rest I say are ok.the cleaner wrasse can be a pain to get him to
feed so just keep trying different foods until you find one he likes.
mine would only eat bloodworm frozen cubes.its only after 5 months
of having him that he now will eat other foods, one of my favorite fish.

ok nice one, thanks for that!
