How many fish

[EriksOasis]

How many fish would be ok in a jbj 45? I have a pair of clownfish two lyretail anthias and a multicolor fairy wrasse. I upgraded the return pump to a sicce 3.0 for better filtration. Also I run a tunze 9004 dc protein skimmer.

Honestly I'll tell you like this, I have many fish in my 40B and they all get along, for me what keeps it going is heavy skimming so if u have a rly good skimmer it shld b fine, but each tank to its own

I would put a Blenny in there- Midas or Starry to perch on rocks and possibly a Goby on the sand area.

If the midas, starry or lawnmower blennies seem large, take a look at the tailspot blenny.

In any case, go slowly, and test your nutrient parameters often!

Thanks for the advice I was considering a blenny they are very cool fish. I’m always testing my levels. Nitrate is at a steady 5. I have chaeto in the back chamber of my tank that takes care of the nutrient me very well also weekly water changes of at least 10 gallons.
