Hey:
So my wife and I have two little boys and they are obsessed with fish. So the other day my wife and I surprised our boys with a 24-gallon saltwater tank. It’s the aquatop 24-gallon Recife cube. I personally have had a fresh water tank since I was a child ( as small as 5-gallons to as big as 75 gallons) so I understanding of the basics of keeping a tank and what to look out for. I do want to get into corals but I do know that takes a ton of time and more advanced equipment so just fish for now. Right now we have a blue devil damsel fish ( which we were told was not aggressive and can cohabit with of fish) and 3 blue green chromis fish. We are looking to get a couple of clowns and maybe a royal gramma fish. My wife and I don’t want to stress these fish out and in talking with people at the local shops we have been going to we get a range of answers. So I guess my question is do you guys feel that is to many fish in a 24-gallon tank? We are also thinking of bubble anemone (maybe 6 months later) a cleaner shrimp, fire scallop maybe a clam and some snails. Like I said my wife and I are kind of new to the saltwater game and just want to make sure that we don’t stress anything out and have one big happy family. Thanks all.
