Barbara 02-04-2009, 11:25 PM I keep a pair of clowns, a six line wrasse, a yellow watchman goby and pistol shrimp all in a 20G with no problems. Also a very large frogspawn (about 7-8 heads) for the clowns to host. No problems at all. Not sure you can breed shrimp, or anything else for that matter, with other fish in the tank. I would suspect the fish would eat the fry. gdog 02-04-2009, 11:32 PM what is a good 15 gollon setup with everything i need to get going and how much is it Barbara 02-04-2009, 11:38 PM I'm not too familiar with any "packages". A lot of folks like those solanas (although I think that's a 34G) and some other tanks made specifically as a package. Those are a little too rich for my blood. Usually I put something together using whatever's available. Some folks don't run a skimmer, or a sump, on a tank that small. I have a 20G upstairs in the bedroom that is running with a Seaclone skimmer and no sump. But I also have a 20G frag tank that is drilled, with overflow, and plumbed into the main system sharing a sump with my 90G display. Basically, if the tank is drilled, you almost have to run a sump, since there's an overflow. If the tank's not drilled, then you don't have to use a sump, but if you don't, then all your "stuff" (protein skimmer, heater, filter, etc.) have to be in the tank or hanging on the back of the tank. I personally like a sump whenever I have the space for one. gdog 02-04-2009, 11:46 PM ok well if u come across a good one will u hit me up plz DrNecropolis 02-04-2009, 11:48 PM ok well if u come across a good one will u hit me up plz not a 15 but a good pice nonetheless http://aquariumwholesaledirect.com/aquamedicnanowave9.aspx gdog 02-04-2009, 11:53 PM ok that works hey dr do u have any tanks laying around from the past DrNecropolis 02-04-2009, 11:54 PM Nah..
