    hi there every one, i just had my first batch of fishes last saturday and i was so not liking it because my friend gave me two kinds of butterflyfish (one long nose and i think the other one is a lattice), wrasses, a spotted cardinal fish, and a fish that i can't identify. i'll post the pics on my next thread. all of my fishes are given to me and i'm planning to get me some clown and a lion fish. and i don't know if the compatibilty will do.

    Right now, i think compatibility might be an issue. First off, lets start with a quick overview. How big is your tank? You have Live rock? You have Sand, cruched corral, or barebottom? With this info, we can give you a better opinion on how your fish will act and like their new home!

    First off, we need to identify the mistery fish, so if you can take a pic, well help you identify it. Also, from what i have read and heard, lionfish will eat anything they can get too that fits in their mouths, even somewhat bigger, so that might be an issue.

    sire andre I'm with turbo4603 - what size is your tank- that would be a pretty fair bio-load for most tanks!

    ei there

    hi there here's my tank specs

    -55gal tank
    -25 gal sump (crushed corals, skimmer, and algae)
    -toshiba light (it's cheaper than the ge coralitel)
    -uv light

    -live rocks (around 30 kilos)
    -2pcs-2 striped damsel
    -1 domino damsel
    -1 spotted cardinal fish
    -1 red hermit crab (so shy that his antennae are the only one whose sticking out of it's shell)
    -2pcs blue chromis
    -1 mandarin (the only one that i bought)

    sadly my butterflies died and a late on i'm gonna purchase clowns and anenome, and a fuzzy dwarf lion fish.

    You are funny dude ! Man you are pulling our chain right ? because if you are really trying to be serious then Buddy you my friend no nothing at all about this hobby and for the very first time in my life I'll suggest to you something I have never suggested to anyone ever! Go buy a Good Marine aquarium book and read it.
    Don't get me wrong here I'm no PETA lover or tree hugger But you will kill about everything you have and want to get. Good luck
