What now

Post by stangd1909 »

OK I finally added another fish to my tank. I have been searching for a fish to add that I like, well I added a Hawaiian yellow tang. He is really cool....I wanna add one more fish. Give me some ideas of some good fish/eels. I thought about adding a Zebra eel...or maybe a Snowflake.

not that I know but I know the questions that will be asked

Tank size, time running, other tank fish in there already?

It's a 100 gallon tank, it's been up almost 6 months, all I have is a Yellow tang, and a S&S puffer. I'm going to limit it to 3 fish...

How big is the puffer & what are your plans for upgrading?

My puffer is now 7 inches. I have a 265 gallon (72x32x26) tank sitting in my garage that I will be setting up soon.

If you are setting up 265g soon then I would refrain from getting any new fish to put in your new set up. Just wait until you have your bigger tank going.
