How To Stock Tropical Fish Tanks
You have got your tank setup, filtered, heated, and leak free. Way to go!
Now it is time to add fish. Fish may seem docile, but putting the wrong fish together can result in fighting and floating fish:) So, what do you get so you have a happy community of fish? The other question is how many fish should I get of each species since tropical fish tanks vary in size.. Then there are some things to watch out for, like adding Clown fish. If you plan on having two Clown fish, add them both at the same time. Otherwise, the newcomer will be unwelcome if added later.
I started with a 30 gallon tank, and this is how I stocked my tank.
1 Cherub Angel (3″)
1 Pajama Cardinalfish (3″)
1 Chalk Bass (3″)
1 Yellow Watchman Goby (3″)
1 Yellow Tail Blue Damsels (2.5″)
The easiest way to know what fish to mix in tropical fish tanks is to get the Expert’s Guide to Saltwater Aquariums.
