going salt

Post by blackghostknife »

I am going to convert my brackish tank to salt! this should be done around Christmas time. I want recommendations on what to put in it. I was thinking along the lines of a common clown, a royal gramma, my existing naked goby, and the inverts would include a tiger cowrie, a brittle star and I think that's it. it is a thirty gallon. What do you think?
The woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang the best. Use the talents you possess.

Ocellatus clownfish are known for having the potential to not be as aggresive as other clowns, but it's still hit or miss.
I love royal grammas, they are really beautiful! I love the opposite color contrast.

i can't afford to feed a puffer right now. I have decided to go with a naked goby, 2 chalk bass, a royal gramma, and a brittle star and a tiger cowrie. will this work?

From what I just read the cowrie might eat the star
