What order should I buy my fish in?

[Wes888]

I know both firefish and jawfish are shy but at least firefish would still swim around. I would get a jawfish first so that he can go around the tank to look for his material to build. Once he got his spot, he won't bother anyone anyway. Get the firefish after him should be fine.

It's just that I heard that you need a mature tank to get a jawfish.

Add a fish or two (if they have to be added in pairs) at most, every 3 weeks. So add one fish, wait three weeks. If everyone is alive and healthy, add your next fish, etc.

Well now that I can't get a jawfish and my tank is bigger what should I get? I still want some firefish, red scooter blenny, and a clown.

 

[EliWhitney314]

maybe I can get a six line wrasse?

A sixline would be good.Or even a fairy or carpenter wrasse would work.

 

[EliWhitney314]

Is that a good number of fish now? Maybe I can have 3 or 4 firefish since the tank is bigger?

 

[yote]

I dont see why you couldnt keep 3 or 4 firefish.

 

[EliWhitney314]

I'm going to look and see what I like again. There might be some fish I forgot about.

I do like the tailspot/ combtooth blenny

my firefish just beat each other up after 9 months together. I still have one.
