Hi

Im starting my first tank, the size is:
Volume: approx: 120 litres
Size: 101 x 46 x 31 cm

I was wondering how many fish could a tank this size hold and what would be the best fish for a beginner?

Thx in advance Sam

not big enough for a tang... they need long tanks to be happy.

I would say 5 fish personally

and stick to clownfish, gobys, maybe a blenny, royal gramma, dottyback, jawfish or firefish.

Hope that helps

Royal gramma

nice fish but can be moody B'z :p a bit territorial.

What ever you do never introduce damsels as your first fish! Major mistake in a tank that size.

I would go for some tank bred ocellaris (common clowns) Banggai Cardinalfish, Dwarf Angelfish (although stay clear of multifasciatus), Firefish.

Lots of nice stuff :)

Stay away from the tangs ATM until you catch the bug and find you need to upgrade :p
