my wish LIST ( clowns ,tangs,butterflies,angels ) ..with whom i start and next ?????

new 4 weeks tank (just cycled) .. fish only tank 30 gal

my wish LIST ( clowns ,tangs,butterflies,angels ) one from each , all small sizes

how to arrange introducing these types .... with whom i start and next ?????

 

Well for Tangs you need at least 75 gallons. I also have 30 gallon and wish I could have tangs, angels, and butterfly's. Start with the clown... they are hardy and a good first addition.

 

Yea you can find clowns everywhere so I would introduce them
First. For a tank of your size you may be able to do a dwarf angel. Just read up on everything before hand

 

Clowns first, no tangs, not sure on butterflies but I think they need a very mature system and are picky eaters, dwarf angel last

 

Start with the clown's and then look into a Coral Beauty or a Flame Angel. I love my Coral Beauty personally...always out and active

 

No to tangs, no to butterfly fish, and IMO 30 gallons is still kinda small for a dwarf angel. start with the clowns, there are many vibrant varieties available.

 

I had a Coral Beauty Angel in my 20 gallon along with an Ocellaris clown and both lived more than 6 years. Also had a Flame Angel (7+ years) in a 38 gallon tank, but don't know how well it would do in anything smaller than that as it was a much more active swimmer than the Coral Beauty. The Coral Beauty was also an active swimmer, but the Flame Angel zipped around the tank much faster, and as such seemed to need a larger tank than the Coral Beauty.

 

Some dwarf angels will be too big for a 30. I'd recommend one of the smaller ones. Here are some fish to consider:

Dwarf Angels:

Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Flameback Angelfish (African) Dwarf Angel

Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Pygmy (Cherub) Angelfish

Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Pygmy Yellowtail Angelfish

Others:

Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Kaudern's Cardinal - Tank-Bred

Spotted Cardinalfish

Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Reef Aquariums: Bicolor Blenny

Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Reef Aquariums: Royal Gramma Basslet


Just remember that you can't add everything, a 30 gallon is suitable for only a few small fish. Also, don't add everything at once.

 

Don't put the clownfish in first. They are relatives of damselfish which can be territorial.
Dwarf angelfish are nice, coral beauty angelfish are populer.
