I think a good stocking list for you would be close to this.

A pair of Clownfish
1 Starcki Damselfish
1 Yellow Watchmen Goby and Tiger Pistol Shrimp
1 African Flameback Angelfish
1 Royal Gramma
1 Banggai Cardinalfish, maybe a bonded pair?

N

And keep the CUC?

Nice, thank you for helping me and sorry for the inconvenience

 

[NC122606]

Yes keep the CUC.
Only thing to watch is if the Starcki or Flameback gets aggressive. But you should be fine.

I will introduce them last at the same time?

So if I were you I would of done it in this order.

1st: Banggai Cardinalfish
2nd: Royal Gramma
3rd: Watchmen
4th: Clownfish
5th: Angelfish
6th: Damsel

But since you have clownfish do it in this order from 4, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6.

You might want a acclimation box depending on how aggressive the clowns are.

Looks like I am getting a acclimation box,

I

I already have him and I can just feed him, the LFS and two in a 60 for months

They have a long life span and generally perish in small tanks after 1-2 years. This isn't old age..this is them not getting what they need and dying prematurely.

Can I feed Them?

Can I feed Them?

Won't hurt but I don't know of anyone that has one in a nano with long term success. The people I do know with them just buy a new one every year after it dies. Not exactly great...
but some people do consider them disposable.

I think if you did a little research you would find their long term survival rates in captivity pretty poor.

I think every life is valuable. I will try to feed him and if he starts becoming unhealthy I will return him and maybe get a multifora Lincktia instead

 

[Tamberav]

I don't think any linkia are appropriate for a nano long term. I am not saying return him now since he is already in there anyways. I am just warning you if it dies that you may want to reconsider having a starfish. I am sure many don't bother to try and feed them though so hopefully that will help.

Some of the large brittles I believe are easy to care for but don't buy a green one...they have been known to hunt fish.

Starfish are so amazing looking...it is too bad they can be difficult...I would love to have one but I doubt my 80g is large enough.

It's black, the brittle but I will keep an eye on the Lincktia,

I had an orange Linckia, I got it and then I researched what they ate... bacterial film. Not the easiest thing to keep going in a nano, he was back at the LFS a week later lol. How old is your tank?
