there is a good thread about lion fish on here somewhere so have a read, and I`d say definately too big for a 30g.

the one think I have learnt is time is the enemy try to rush and its back to the start again.

I have a pair of clowns in a 34g will introduce a anenmone in Feb or March , a watchman in April, May and I`d like a Coral beauty in June.
The coral beauty is a wish and may become a flashing wrase which might suit the size of the tank better.

May change the order? any advice?

I`ll think about going bigger 125 or 150 sounds good but its wallet dependant!

tailspot blenny ftw!

not my image obviously



what are the dimensions of the tank? is it a 30g long or 30g high? if it is long there are wrasses you could be thinking about. i had a twinspot hog in my 30g and it did fine. firefish would also work and they are way cooler than cardinals or chromis. there are gobies like the yellow watchman that are quite neat.

id recommend going to the websites of the big online stores like liveaquaria, saltwaterfish, the marine center, ocean aquatics, etc and looking through the fish and checking their min tank requirements. youll want to take an avg of what the diff sites say, some will say angels can go in a 20g, others will say 50g. unforunately you will need to balance the conservative estimates to the liberal.

Definitely research the fish before you buy them for your tank. I spent a good part of the morning taking apart my tank to get a strawberry dottyback out because it was WAY too aggressive with my Clown and Chromis. The dottyback is now in his own tank where he has no one to bully :P
