Help need a fish

Want to get a new fish I have a six line wrasse a Picasso clown and a green and blue chromis. In a 24g tank is 4 months nano tank. Also have an emerald crab. And various coral. Want something to add some coral.

 

"add some color" you meant, right?

I think in that size tank you're already pushing the bio-load. Few quick questions:

How much live rock do you have?
Do you run a skimmer?
What's your filtration?
What's your water change routine?
How are your Nitrate levels?

I personally would not get another fish, unless it's very small and wouldn't impact the bio-load, ie a small goby, blenny maybe.

Also the sixline can be very aggresive, paired with a clown & chromis you may have issues as they grow, adding another fish may cause more issues in a tank that small.

25 pounds of rock
Filter floss cheato carbon
I do five gallons a week water change.

No Skimmer.

 

Thx for the info, what are you Nitrates normally at? A skimmer would def help.

 

Water is stable and good for a while now. Everything IMO is growing and looking good. Did not get a Skimmer because want to add lots more rock and I thought that it would make up for it in a small tank. I mean I could look into a nano Skimmers if it means more fish.

But really u think three is already stocked ? And I only have one clown instead of two.. so in my mind I think I have enough. I was thinking some type of goby with a shirmp. But would that conflict with a cleaner shrimp I want to get or are those two shirmps one in the same? I also was thinking maybe a clowngoby since there tiny.


What does to many fish do in a tank. I mean not a crazy overkill like 15 fish in a nano but five in a nano how does that effect it over all? I figure if I have lots of rock if I have a Skimmer if I keep doing my weekly water changes if I have a cleaner shrimp eating stuff off fish I have no tangs or angels lol to get itch over night and kill everything I have a crab that eats all day algea a clean up crew what could go wrong? What would I experience in a negative manner.


How do u guys get atcintic lights on a nano I have a sun pod mh 150 with some blue leds that don't do crap I want more blue . ...

Dead fish. IMO it's not just the ammount of rock or filtration in your tank but the ammount of space. Adding more rock just makes the problem worse. IMO if you would like more fish get a larger tank. That sixline will probably kill a newcomer in that sized tank.At most you may be able to add a small fish but don't be surprised if the six line kills it.
