How many fish ?
« on: March 04, 2010, 05:52:38 PM »
How many fish you got in your aquarium, and whats size aquarium.

(This is not a flaming thread, as an admin who closely watches these forums I have seen "overstocked", "understocked", and "about right" tanks . This is just for fun and in good faith your fish are in a healthy atmoshpere)
What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss

How many fish? ..... Too many fish.
75g, 9 fish.
2 lyretail anthias, tomini tang, eibli x halfblack hybred angel, royal gramma, flame hawk, solarensis wrasse, lawnmower blenny, foxface.
Foxface is temp fish for a specific algae issue, since cleared up so will be moved to coral prop system soon.
Angel is a nasty little brute, destined to be caught eventually and consigned to its own tank.
Flame hawk, solarensis and gramma would all be in various coral prop tanks as poop machines, if I could catch them.

Since my tank is softy/anemone dominated, a moderate amount of fishpoop is actually somewhat beneficial so I havent stressed over removing the excess fish.

Hawk, wrasse and both anthias not visible in this picture, rest are, as is the algae issue on the powerheads.

Edit--> To give an idea of approximate sizes, the lawnmower blenny in center on sand, is about 5 inches, and gramma is close to 4inches.

34 gallons - 5 fish
pair of true percula clowns
1 purple fire fish
1 yellow watchman goby
1 black cap basslet

i have been trying to talk the wife into letting me take the basslet out because he is semi-agressive and he digs alot. he is constantly spitting sand all over my corals and disrupting my rock base. she wants to keep him because we got him at such a good price. the guy thought he was a dottyback and sold it to us for 13 bucks.
