what first?

I want to add more to my 20G FO tank. I have inverts in there but they are mostly hiding out. Its time for a fish or shrimp. I'm not wanting to spend alot (spent enough already). I don't know what to add first shrimp or fish. I don't want one that will be more established to bully the other.

 

how long has the tank been set up for?

what are your parameters?

do your have live rock?

how much are you looking to spend?

anything specific that you want to keep later on?

 

If it is a FO tank & not FOWLR then there is no rock. But how long has it been set up & what are your water parameters?

If both of those are good..what inverts do you have in there now?

I would say add a shrimp after answering these if they check out.

 

ya i know but i was just making sure to see if he/she knew the diffrence;D

 

Ah I see. good one.

 

Oh. Its a FOWLR (still learning the slang). My 20G has been up for 1 month. It spiked after 2 weeks. Now has been Amm 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 5-10ppm, pH is 8.2. About 15 lbs live sand & 15 LR. I have blue leg hermits, mole crabs, sandsifter seastar, nass snails, feather dusters.

I was looking to getting a skunk cleaner or peppermint shrimp(for aiptasia).
What fish should come after that aren't too much (>$25)

 

Alot of clowns, damsels, gobies, wrasses, chromis, dottybacks, hawkfish, there are several choices for your budget and tank size. check out liveaquaria.com to see minimum tank requirements

 

^ What he said. ^ You can go to Aquarium Fish: Tropical Freshwater Fish and Saltwater Fish for Home Aquariums & click on "nano fish" to see some more that might work in your tank.
