    For those fish, to keep with the intention of leaving some room for more fish as somewhat impulse buys, and leaving them with enough room to grow full size, I would go 150+.

    Yep, they're his current fish. Just look at his profile pic. The blue tang stretches almost 1/5 of the way across the tank.

    That's pretty sad...I thought we were all in this hobby to enjoy the animals, not torture them :-/
    Sorry if I sound like a jerk, but that kinda rubs me the wrong way.

    Fish are wired in canada.

    Non of my LFS take fish back cause of the risk of ich or something else

    Non of my fish have ich but i have had it before with the basslet the day after i got him so i gave him a FW dip for 5mins timed and he was fine after

    I can get a tank rased baby green mandarin goby about 3/4''

    would this fish be ok hes really cute and eats frozen brine/Cyclopes

    he's $9.99

    he can always go in to my 31 when bigger but at this size my clarkii would grab his tail and run him in to the carpet anemone.

    Your 31 is already overstocked. I would sell the tangs and either keep the 2 nemo or the clarkii clown. Clowns will fight in that space.
