    hey all,

    im pretty new to all this and just wanted some advice on what fish i can add to my tank.

    Ive got a 60 litre tank with just 2 common clowns and 4 red legged hermits - No live rock or anything like that

    Its been up and running with fish in it for about 7 months and so far so good - no deaths! (apart from 2 turbo snails that got attacked by the crabs - learn from your mistakes!)

    We want to add something colourful but not sure what to go for. Quite like the humbugs but having researched it, think they may be to aggressive for our clowns?

    one last thing, i think its normal but our clowns seem to vibrate when they are close to each other, they have always done it assume its normal.

    any ideas?

    Cheers

    i would add alittle bit of rock
    and get a gobie or dartfish or somthing small like that
    the rock will act as a filter and well help the fish have a hiding area

    2 clowns in a 15 gallon tank is pretty full. I would pick up some base rock so you dont suffer any ammonia spikes from die-off and go through another cycle.

    If its in your future plans, I would introduce some LR before you add anything else. As for the "clown dance" thats normal. You just might see some nemo eggs soon enough. Good luck.
