Flame Angel

Ox, I wouldn't put a damsel in a 30g. IMO, the tank is too small to accomidate its aggressive behavior. Your stocking level is just fine. Perhaps consider a flasher/fairy wrasse?

I figured the damsel would be too aggressive but thats why I asked, wasn't sure. Ya, I would love a wrasse, i'll check out the local salty shops to see if they have any in stock... I'm trying to find fish that are in stock so I don't have special order them... even though I know it wouldn't be too hard and I shouldnt limit myself to what the lfs' are trying to sell to me.

But anyways, just got an RO/DI filter yesterday that I had ordered and getting water together for the new tank. When water level is full and at a reasonable temp (atleast 76) Im gonna go get some new lr and let it cycle for a week or two in the 30G before I start transfering over the contents of my 10G. Once everything seems to have settled in, then I'll start slowly adding the fish Should the clown be the second to last before the angel? I think i've read they can be a bit on the aggressive side too... am I wrong?

IMO i find that clowns are only agressive when they defend there spawning point other then that very gentle fish, i would add the flame very last.

Ya, I was gonna add it last, but just wanted to know whether the clown should in right before it... but if they are gentle when not breeding then no worries

i had my clown fish in my tank about a month before i added the flame, and now its been almost a month since they have been together and they dont even bother each other at all, i find the clowns tend not to bother anyone but the small chromis when they come around there polyps. my flame is also bigger then the clowns if that makes a difference
