Experienced advice needed

[reefwick]

I've had my 12 galoon nano-cube dx up for just over a year and have had my false perc in there alone for approx. 7-8 months. He had a bleeny friend for a little while but he died (newbie mistake). He is kind of aggressive, nips at my hand when I clean, spars with my coral banded shrimp on a rare occasion. I'm thinking of adding 1 other fish, a firefish goby/ hi fin goby.

What I would like to know is your opinion on wheather or not you think this is a good idea.

My concerns are the clown having the tank to itself for such a long time and the bioload with the CBS, Clown and the new addition.

Thanks in advance for any input

She now owns the tank and will likely harass any other fish to death.

agreed. clowns are territorial, and a small tank can just magnify that aggression.

Really? I was kind of afraid of that. Oh well I guess I'll just have to wait till I cycle the 75. Thanks for the input.

i'm surprised you havent had any problems with the CBS in that small tank. i know they are very hardy and good for beginners, but mine is a freakin monster, i can't have any small gobies (or any small fish) in my tank.

Hey, I just thought I'd comment on your idea of having high fin banded goby in nano...great idea! Awesome fish for small tanks. Look for one to pair with a small pistol shrimp...you'll be glad you did, trust me!

Good luck with your clown

if you plan on getting any other fish, try re organizing the rock to disturb their territory lines, that should help alot

My yashia haze spends almost all of it's time in the rockwork. I think it's do-able. I agree with Agu that a firefish might be harassed...they can be really shy. The rockwork re-arranging may work, but, who the h*&^ wants to do that??? SH

Yeah no kidding, not me.
