Nice fish avatar
yeah even one percula is too many fish in this tank. they need 30 gallons minimum. maybe a burrowing goby with a pistol shrimp would be better. fish avatar
Keep 2 things in mind. 1. This is a 7 (yes seven) gallon tank, not too much room for fish! 2. More fish = higher bioload = more unfavorable environment for corals. Thanks for the comments, keep them coming! :-) fish avatar
NICE TANK BUT MABYE GET A FEW MORE FISH LOOKS KIND OF BARE IN THE PICTURE fish avatar
