    stocking advice

    Hello ;;

    I have had my 30 gallon aquarium for about 6 months now, I have learned a LOT about the hobby the hard way. As of now my Aquarium just holds 1 Falco Hawkfish, 1 Sixline Wrasse, and 1 blue chromis, but whenever i try to add another fish, the hawkfish and wrasse become extremely aggressive, yet they do not bother the chromis (maybe because he was the first fish in the aquarium)

    So now what should I do?

    Remove the aggressive fish?

    or buy fish that can hold their own?

    any suggestions?

    thanks ! ))

    if you can bring the 2 fish back to the lfs maybe they will give you something towards your next purchase. ive heard 6lines can be mean little buggers. i vaguely remember reading they should be added last. anyways...dont try to add a fish that can hold its own, that falls into the category which you are trying to improve on. ;) (learning things the hard way)....what kind of fish are you interested in replacing them with? im sure there are quite a few of us that would be happy to share personal xp with fish you are interested in.

    haha true. Idk a nice community tank would be pretty cool. With the fish I have now, theres little hope for inverts. so maybe ill try to start from scratch. :/
