First sw tank! 29G

I think it will, as long as you add more rock like i said. That should honestly be priority #1, get like 30 more lbs.

If you switch the 2 fish out for now. fine. But let the goby come some 2 months down the road. I know it sounds like a lot, but it will be totally worth your wait in the end.

 

How did you cycle the tank? just curious.

 

I used Microbe-Lift Nite-Out II Nitrifying Aquarium Bacteria
for one week. Then i added two fish.

 

its good that you added that, but you need rock for which those bacteria can colonize. I know im repetative, but i just want you to have a successful tank, and it starts there.

 

I already have five pounds of fiji rock. So would I need 30 more? Also, I have like 8 slabs of slate rock and tha should colonize with bacteria after a while.

 

SnooknRedz But won't the clowns be just as territorial after a while. Like you said how I should add the goby later? I have heard people say that their clownfish have killed everything that they have put into the tank.

 

Well, it could happen, but then again it might not. The chances that the clowns will be more aggressive than the damsels is slim. If you get a pair of them they will assert domanence between themselves, but should be okay to add a goby later on. Remember the goby lives on the bottom, it will go into the smallest hole in the rocks where the clowns wont be able to reach em. But i think you should be alright, specially if its bigger than the clowns. and depends on the kind of clown you go with.

 

I would want ocellaris.

 

Find the smallest ones possible, and introduce em at the same time. You shouldnt have a problem.

 

yes even with the 5lbs of fiji you still need another 25-30 lbs of rock
