What woud be a good Addition to my aquarium?

[Lukas]

Hi Everyone!

I'm wondering, What would be a good addition to my 45 gallon aquarium.
Right now I have, a Long Nose Hawkfish, hermit crab, and snails.
I just don't know what do add. Not coral wise, but Inverts/Fish wise.
And Shrimp are not going to be able to add because of the hawk fish, Unless I feed it enough. (I don't wanna take the chance though)

(make sure it can fit in a 45 gallon, Cus supposidly I can fit about 4 I think less though more fish)

Clowns???? Blennies?????

Blue Lobster? Clownfish is a must;)

Can never go wrong with a pair of Ocellaris clowns.

[Lukas]

And, How long should I wait to get anything?
(Last fish I got was long long hawk fish, Around christmas time)

[David Grigor]

As long as everything is doing fine, I think your okay.

[Andrew.C]

I'd say another week and a half

Yup, Nothing seems to be doing bad

[Lukas]

I'd say another week and a half

So it would be about 3 months after I got the hawk fish? (just checking)

[wireefman]

you would be fine

[Lukas]

you would be fine

After another week and a half or now I'd be fine?

[Andrew.C]

A week to be sure and during that week do a water change and test everything.

Dwarf angels are pretty cool, I just don't want any of my coral being hurt D;
My mom loves banggai cardinals though

[Andrew.C]

How about a Singapore angel, or bicolor, it coral beauty

Still have the chance or coral being eaten though D;

[Andrew.C]

Yah, personally the clowns sound good, or blenny

[nate_mcnasty]

royal gramas are really cool looking fish. wrasses are cool but can be extremely territorial so it would be best to at that last to your tank. gobies are really neat too. your best bet would to look through live aquara on DFS and see if there are any fish that stand out to you

I love pistol shrimp/goby pairs, they're awesome to watch.
Flasher wrasses are good as well if you have a good cover/canopy.

[BluegrassBert]

Where's the baby clown? :-)

[yellow tang]

I can't find Any Saltwater Blue Lobster...


if I where you I would not get a lobster becuse I heard that they are aggressive and will eat slow moving fish or ones that stay near the rockwork,so theres a chance that it will eat your hawkfish. I can not be shur but these is what I have heard and it might not happen untill it is really big.

Banggai Cardinalfish need to be purchased in groups. they are schooling fish, and thrive when they have a partner.
