Hi guys, I recently bought a second hand 120L tank which I believe is 30 US Gallons. I am from the UK so to us it is around 26 UK Gallons.

The tank came with fish already, this includes a bicolor dwarf angelfish 2 clownfish, a fire red shrimp and a half black angelfish. I am wanting to get rid of the two angelfish and maybe one of the clownfish because they have a deformity with their gills constantly being flared as well as their mouth being partially closed.

I was wondering if I just had 2 clownfish and the fire red shrimp what else could I keep in this tank and how many of each? If you guys have any stocking ideas that would be amazing!

When I received the tank my salinity was sky high because I took the water he had in the tank with me so it was cycled with the filter media, it was reading 1.035 I've managed to get it to 1.032 so far after gradually adding a few litres of RO water each day and swapping with some of the salt water already in the tank.

I also need to buy a clean up crew as he didn't buy any for his tank can anybody suggest something for that please?

Thanks a lot, Tim or SirPuffer

P.S - There is a picture of my tank included below

In that size tank I would stick to just the pair of clownfish and maybe a goby

if you have to add another. It has to be tough

my clown pair used to be so nice. Couldn’t understand all these people telling me that they are mean
It took 4 years but now I can’t put my hand in the tank without it attaching me. And my tank is 265 gallons. So those little guys ate nasty
It will probably leave goby alone

6 line wrasse also will hold its own if you wanted to get a little cute tough as nails fish

A bristletooth tang or similar would be a nice addition.
