    (Since there's no FOWLER thread, I'll post here...)

    Well, since everything has balanced out in my little tank, it's time to get things back to normal.

    I'm going to trade my Humma in for a TR Ocelerous Clown, a tiny Yellow Tang, and a Flame Angel...along with a cleaning crew. I figure for a 26 gallon tank, this should be plenty...but this time the additions will take weeks, if not a month or two.

    I hate to get rid of my Humma, he's way too cool, but I gotta have my cleaning crew!!!

    Call me boring, but I'm going to have a tight little tank!!!!

    Sounds ike a plan there Master of all that quacks LOL Hummas are cool I really used to love the larger fish back in the day I'd still like to have a tank like that again but the filtration is a PITA.

    A yellow tang in a 26gallon is a no no. They require 48" of length in swimming space. They are also messy and will cause bioload problems in a 26gallon.

    Stick with small fish in that 26g tank. I've got only 6 medium to large fish in my 120g tank and thats pushing it. My nitrates run between 30-40ppm and thats with a refugium.

    Ya I have a yellow tang in my 55g and it's a messy fish when it poops! Any small fish would be good:

    Clowns
    firefish
    jawfish (these are fun to watch, mine is trained to eat from my turkey baster)

    look on Aquarium Fish: Tropical Freshwater Fish and Saltwater Fish for Home Aquariums it has a huge list of fish, with a fish compatability chart. Look under nano fish, these are all fish that stay small. Tangs can get big, the yellow one gets up to 8".
