So I have 2 tanks right now (soon to be 3) and I think I want to move all the fish from my smaller tank to my bigger tank. The small tank is an aquatop 24 gallon AIO and the bigger tank is the one in my build thread Red Sea Reefer 350. So I think I want to turn my 24 into a seahorse tank or something different (open to ideas on this also) so to do this I would need to move the fish below are the stock list:
24 Gallon
2 ocellaris Clowns
1 Green Chromis
1 two spot goby (this could stay because I don't think it would bother the seahorses)
1 cleaner shrimp
There is a BTA, carpet and rockflower anemone
I would also move the coral from this tank
Reefer 350
1 onspot foxface rabbit fish
1 leopard wrasse
1 Melanurus Wrasse
1 Linespot Flasher Wrasse
1 Flame angle
1 Kaudern's Cardinalfish
1 SMALL powder blue tang
2 tomato clowns (this is where I think the problem will come in)
1 cleaner shrimp
1 pistol shrimp
1 watchman goby (hangs out with the pistol shrimp almost never comes out)
No coral has been added to this the only thing on the rock work is one pretty good size BTA
So I don't see any issues with adding the Chrimis into the bigger tank at all it should be fine. So the two I am worried about is the ocellaris clowns mixing with the tomato clowns but I was thinking I have a big BTA on one side of the tank so I would put the one from the smaller tank on the other side and maybe they would setup up home on opposite sides? With that neither of the clownfish pairs have host an anemone yet which is weird but I think it will happen in time. The other issue is moving the the two spot goby not sure if it will get along with the watchman goby but I never really see the watchman so I don't think that would be a real issue. I do want to add maybe one or two more fish to the tank like a naso tang or kohl tang.
If someone has experience or advise for this please let me know. Now that the reefer 350 is up and running it just seems weird to have the two tanks next to each other I feel like I should do a seahorse (or something) else with the smaller tank or maybe just sell it off to someone that wants to get into the hobby.
