    well i've got a new wrasse coming in hopefully on tuesday that would put my tank at 3 wrasses and 3 damsels *two clowns and a chromis* ive got some thinking to do because i want to make more room

    i have a 20 tall with 20lbs of base rock and my puffer so i have a few ideas

    1. do i take the puffer out of the 20 see if the lfs will take him

    2. try to take the clowns and chromis out ouf the 46 put them all in the 20

    3. take the clowns and chromis to the lfs *fi i can catch*

    4. leave 46 as is with the 2 clowns, chromis, 2 current wrasses and one on the way *a bit over stocked i know*

    what do you think i would like to have a tank dedicated to wrasses but i think to catch the damsels i will have to take out all my rocks and im worried that will cause a lot of stess to the existing wrasses

    hahahaha i would toss him in there if i could catch him but i think i would need to take down all my rocks, well at least 3 main tp rocks the bottom ones i would probably be able to keep in if i do try to catch the 3 damsels it will deffiently take a lot of careful work
