It's stocked (sorry, I forgot the names of the fish. There are 2 small yellow ones, a bigger blue one (with some pink/purple on it's nose), a goby, a bunch of snails, and some soft corals), but I have a question or two (go figure).

1. Can I add the obligitory Orange Clown? (the nemo fish for my son)

2. Do I need a protien skimmer for a 20 gallon? There's a HOB filter and 2 power heads.


Thanks
 
Sorry, forgot to post picts (of when the tank was at the guy's house).

Sounds like you might already be stocked. Lets first see what you have. Can you post photos for ID? It is possible you'll want to evict enough to add the clown.

You don't need the skimmer for the 20g but do keep up with WCs.
 
I'm thinking of moving the 2 yellow guys over to the 12 gallon Nano and bringing the black clown over (and then getting a small Orange Clown). What do you think?

Thanks.
 
Sorry, let me explain it a little better. In the 20 gallon there's 2 yellow fish, 1 bigger blue fish, and 1 goby (I believe). In the 12 gallon Nano Cube, there's 1 black and white clown. I'd like to move the 2 yellow ones over to the 12 gallon nano cube and move the black and white clown over to the 20 gallon...then buy a small orange clown and put that in the 20 gallon also.

End result:

20 gallon would have 2 clown, 1 small goby, 1 blue fish.
12 gallon nane would have the 2 small yellow fish.

Doable?


Thanks
 
its doable, just keep up on water changes.

The blue fish is probably a damsel, and they get nasty. You may want to even look into getting rid of the damsel, as even though they seem small and pretty... they arent.

I stupidly let a damsel live in one of my tanks and it chased one of my clowns right out of the tank, i found him the next morning.

Be careful with the 2 dif. types of clowns in the tank... They may fight, as they are colored diff, so they will not pair up, and clowns fight if you cross species.
 
Damsel = A Dory fish (from Nemo)? Doesn't look like that. I'll get a picture up as soon as I get home.

Hmmm...wondering what to do then...
