Bioload

[MattTheFish]

Right now i have 2 False Percula Clownfish in a 15 gallon tall reef tank.
I was wondering if there are anymore fish that i would be able to add.
I am perticully intrested in maybe a small Coral Beuty AngelFish, or a Court Jester/Rainfords Goby.


Thanks,
Matt

Matt, IMO, you are at your limit. I have a 12 gallon with 1 fish in it, and want desparately sometimes to add another.......however, with the added bioload, my tank would be more likely to experience issues if they so much as pooped more one day than another. Don't forget those false percs will grow. What kind of filtration do you have on the tank?

A coral beauty needs at least 30 gal...of water to be happy...Here is a list of fish you can keep in a tank your size...
I would agree with NaH20 that your tank is at capacity now with fish....

Again dittos with what is stated above. I knoe it is hard with all the beautiful fish out there not to just buy alot of them. Remember how big they will get. The larger bioload you have will make it harder to maintain.

I have a Bak-Pac Reef Ready Protein skimmer

The protein skimmer helps keep the water clean, but the kind of bioload you are talking about will be very hard to control still. Also, the dwarf angels are naturally on the aggressive side. If you put one in such a small tank, with so many other fish, you're likely to see injuries and death due to aggression.

so there are absolutly no Tiny fish i can stick in there? (Its so tempting)

[MattTheFish]

are there any other fish that pick at those "pom pom" things that stick to the live rock?

[FishinInTheDark]

Do you have a variety of snails?

I think i just have turbos
