Hello, I read another post requesting opinions on the future additions to a tank. So may I also get your opinions?
This will not be my first salt water aquarium but it has been many years since I was in the hobby and a lot has sure changed over the years! I appreciate all of your help. So far I have no livestock only have the live sand and have some "life rock" on order. I was thinking about eventually having a yellow tang, several Azure damsels, a pair of Ocellaris clowns and a bonded pair of banded coral shrimp. I have never kept clowns but have had good results with tangs, damsels and banded coral shrimp. (I never knew the shrimp were aggressive!...I just happened to have a pair bought at the same time from the same tank and I guess they were bonded.) Might I need something other than the shrimp to swim or clean up the bottom part of the tank? Do the clowns need/appreciate a certain anemone? What order would you add these fish? And lastly, are their better candidates for this size tank?
