Starting up a 29g...I think???

[Fuzz16]

So I have a 10g currently...o how MTS never really leaves you, huh???
10g: 1 female betta, 3 platys, 3 ghost shrimp

I miss my discus...but even a 40g is not an option right now ):

So was thinking something like...
Kuhliis <3
platys <3
Angel for the centerpeice? maybe a pair
GBR or apisto pair
Some sort of dither...

Then play with some java fern/moss, anarchris, some easy stuffs that are low main.

May keep up the 10g for my daughters room for her, she enjoys them, but well see

What you think?

Than getting a wire stand and throwing a 20L below maybe.

Be sure to have some hiding spots/territory for those Rams. Just so they leave your Angel alone.

I just got two new tomato clowns last Friday. They look really good with my two Ocellaris Clowns. I hope introducing them last they will be ok toward my ocellaris's. I have had success before in my 50 Gallon about 10 yrs ago. I have plenty of rock for them to claim.

dk bout two pairs of clowns. maybe ina big tank, as long as each has their own host.

So far all is good, my four clowns and the chromis's all swim and hang together. I am prepared to start another SW tank if I must. I have not had much luck with finding a good host. I have gotten two anemones and both have fallen victim to the water intake ports. I have bought some large tube screens that I am going to install this week and am going to try the host anemone thing again. I also switch a few pieces of live rock around each week from my copod/pod breeding tank. So this might help as well. It keeps my Coral Beauty busy that's for sure. I am also running an ATS so I am able to feed very heavy.

mine hosts to a fuzzy mushroom and used to to a torch. anenomes have noplace is the SW tanks I have set up. Too many expensive corals they could hurt...not a chromis fan. they can get nasty.

then again I kept multiple male bettas together just fine and a fire eel with discus when people said no, so rules can be bent, just need to change something when they start going at it.

 

[KcMopar]

I thought about a mushroom and they are much cheaper. It is very possible to bend the rules a little if you know the personality of the fish and you have and past experience. In my African tank I move those plastic pvc fittings when they get feisty, this seems to work great. In my SW I am always changing out a few pieces of live rock weekly from my pod breeding tank so its alway changed up and keeps them occupied and happy. But there has been sometimes when I have completely failed, LOL, and had to seperate.

if you have a fish club local you should see if anyones got saltwater and can just cut a mushroom for you. i dont mess with he SW tanks anymore, my dad took over them, or else id send you a couple frags.
