I currently manage two tanks. The first is a
Large tank - 36x20x18 =est. 56g with an Overflow- 30x13x12 =20.25g. This tank has a broken stand I can afford to replace. There are two clowns, 2 peppermint shrimp, a conch, snails, hermits, 1 Blue tang and a few small corals.

I also manage a Bow tank- 19x17xx17 =est. 23g. There is a clown and a banded coral shrimp.

If I trash the large system, what would you keep in the 23? I’m thinking conch, shrimp and two of the clowns. Should I keep the 2 peppermint? Or one banded coral shrimp? The rest will go to the local fish store, unless I can find someone to donate towards the re-homing…

Let’s discuss!!!

okay…I re-homed a clown and the tang. Trashed the 56g and moved as much as possible to the small thank. Everyone is doing well so far, worried there is too much. It’s been maybe two weeks so far. We’ll see as time marches on.

2- clown fish
2- peppermint shrimp
1- coral banded shrimp
1- muscle/claim? Small (not sure what it is)
1- large tiger conch
1- small conch
10 - (or so) different sized hermits

Thinking about adding some more coral for color (other than green)…something hardy…maybe a mushroom?
