This enough, or can i place more into it?

2 Clowns

1 ******

4 damsels

1 green brittle star

1 bicolour blenny

2 Cardinals

1 spiney puffer (only a baby, was told 2 years max and should be placed in a fish only)

1 Sea Hare

and the usual creepy crawlies

Pulsing zena



A kinda long thing that resembles an anemone, shrinks and goes massive when it blows up, with tenticle like arms, but stops just before the bottom end, i think its meant to stand up-right, but it moves. really wierd. also a night corel (not sun corel) its red. and expands quite abit.

Polyps, bits n bobs.

most people would say right off the bat that you are overstocked with just a niger trigger in a 4 foot tank. When they get to be over a foot long at adulthood, that tank will be kinda cramped for him. Ditto with the Puffer. Both of those are not reef safe, and can not be kept with corals.

the clowns, blenny, and cardnals are all more than fine. The damsels are fine, but read up on damsel horror stories before you decide to put them in. Apparently they tend to be very territorial and agressive, and are not easy to catch once in your tank. Ive never had any myself, but clowns are great fun to watch. Cardnals are fun to watch eat, but need at least one good cave to hide in as they are lurkers.
 
I agree withthe comments made on the fish list so far. I will add that a green brittle star should be added with caution, they are known fish killers. I would advise any other colour brittle star than a green.
 
Okies.. The trigger is still no bigger than 3", and the puffer the same. Im at the moment, converting a 6ft tank from tropical to fish only. as i know the puffer and the ****** can get quite large, as used to have fully grown ones 2 yrs ago. And they were great. hand fed them was a real treat. But the ex got stung by the puffer.. haha. so at the time i had to sell him. i was gutted!. but the tank should be well on the way in the next couple weeks.

The puffer and the ******, and the green brittle star have been in reef setup for the past 3 months, and truthfully ive had no problems whats so ever. Maybe im lucky, but obviously do not intend on wanting to risk it.

thx for the advice
 
just so you know, Niger (N-EYE-GER) is wut the fish is called...****** (rhymes with trigger) isn't a fish term :/
