    So I finally well, I am in the process of changing my 10 gallon nano to a 34 gallon custom made tank. I was gonna put various corals from the main tank and the nano tank into the new 34 gallon. However, the stocking list I was looking at was 2 black clowns upon further reading I recently found out that keeping two banggai cardinals is better than 3. So I was wondering if I could keep the four fish ie 2 black clowns and 2 banggai cardinals or would that be too much aggression?? I have a tunze nano skimmer the 9002 so I am not really worried about the filth.

    2 black percs, and 2 Banggais would probably be fine in a 34g tank.

    I had a 35g and I would house fish that swim more than those 2 breeds.

    Percs stay pretty small, and close to their host, be it a powerhead or an anemone, and those cards, they get bigger than the clowns will, but pretty much stay in place and don't swim a lot.

    I think you will be fine.

    Oh, btw, buy TANK RAISED banggai's as ones that are wild caught typically don't eat in our captive reefs and they have a high mortality rate due to that issue. Liveaquaria sells tank raised Banggais as do other sites.

    yeah I was gonna get tank raised also because they are close to being on the endangered species list because of over capture. Thanks though I am feeling more optimistic.
