I've gotten the inspiration to take a big step into marine
fishkeeping. I've had a 45 gallon freshwater tank for a year now and just don't have room in my 610 sq foot apartment for anything larger than the 16 gallon bowfront tank I'm cycling right now. In a late fall issue of TFH I remember seeing a picture and description of the lawnmower, or sailfin blenny. It was this fish that got me excited about setting up a minireef. However, it looks like I may be making a mistake; I talked to a rep at Drs. FosterSmith. She mentioned that this blenny would outgrow my tank in 6 to 8 months. Here's the final stock I was planning to go with: Cycling now with: Live sand Fiji premium live rock When cycled: Four small corals Small bulb anenome A week later: 4 Hermit crabs 4-5 Turbo snails 1 Ocelaris clownfish 1 Sailfin Blenny I've also been cautioned that the anenome can sting the corals if they're within 5 inches of each other. Some advice would be greatly appreciated he - If the sailfin blenny will be too big for my tank, I'm really, really bummed- but is there another blenny similar in characteristics to the sailfin that won't be too large? - Will my other livestock selections be suitable? Will the corals/anome really be problematic over time, or can I get around that by arranging things carefully? |
