    hello everyone getting my first 3 or 4 fish on Monday


    looking to get two clowns and a royal dottyback, and maybe a bicolor angelfish.

    and i was thinking about getting a coral like
    Anthellia
    Torch coral
    Bubble Coral
    one of them

    do you guys think i could add about 2 to 3 fish in the tank at a time and one coral.

    last question is i really want my fish to have a lot of different food to eat. what do you really feed saltwater fish.

    and this is a 30g breeder tank if that helps with anything

    I feed veggie flakes in the morning and frozen shrimp at night.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    The most fish I would add is 2. You need some time for the tank to adjust to the new bioload, by adding more than that you may see some problems.

    Coral wise, a soft coral and then advance to a stoney once the system adjust.

    Quality pellets, and or frozen small amount daily or every other day.

    The angelfish most likely will go after your coral. A good quality flake food and good quality frozen food alternated daily will work. Do not buy brine shrimp it is very low in nutrients.

    frozen mysis shrimp would be good to feed your fish and corals
