ahh i see, okay thanks...well one problem, how come some fish smaller than other requires such a big aquarium??? like a 3" fish requires a 55 gal??? why so?...when a clown only need 20 gal minimum...

like what?

to be mixed in a tank with other fish, some require more space, mostly from agression, things like dottybacks and damsels

others are seriously messy

others need large ammount of live rock either for shelter to to hunt/browse for adaquate ammounts of food..

hmm I see, a lot differ from FW...

I need some help to choose the best fish into a community tank of my 20 gal. Im clueless how many I can fit in there and I want something with the most attracting eye coloration. ( and im definitely getting 2 ocellaris)

I'll probably start out with 10lbs of live rock at the moment, and add more later on due to a budget problem. And HIGHLY getting a 55 in the future before next yr comes by.

okay so I guess I can get a 55 gal standard 48LX12WX21H within a month or 2.

now what kind of fish can I put in there together to make a nice setting???...how many fish can I stick it in there???

any suggestions? I want something that will take on frozen food, and not live stuff mostly. something easy to moderate. colorful, interesting, and lots of swimming action to keep the tank alive.
