Adding more fish...

[nanoreefer22]

So I've come to the point where my tank is stable and growing again after my upgrade. At the moment I have 4 fish, a pair of 6-lines, a royal gramma, and a yellow goby.

I'm getting a pair of percs in the very near future(this week) and was wonding what other fish I could add after that.

I was thinking of a mini school of chromis as the finishing touches for fish since they're small and stay in the open.

The tank is a 40br and I only run carbon in a HOB. Tank is LPS/Softies with only a few montis.

Any one see any problems iwth the plans? Most likely want to add the chromis is April or early may. How many chromis could i fit comfortably?

Regardless how many you fit in your tank, they'll likely begin to pick each other off soon after.

p.s. Does your join date say Jan 2005?! What a strange topic from you....

In my 90.I have only 3 chromis and they're always chasing each other but they hang out with each other.No casualties yet.

I guess I'm trying to be a newbie again I guess I'll stay away from the chromis and pick out another nice fish or two that my sixlines hopefully won't torture.

I think that's actually when I joined, maybe it should be 2004...:scratch:

I think if they chase each other in a tank as big as yours im gonna have problems. Thanks for the insight.

Everyone I know with Chromis has ended up with just one (or a breeding pair). If you want a schooling fish, how about some of the cool looking cardinals? I like the orange lined ones a lot if you can find them.

The sixlines will kill everyone. Lose them now.
