Yeah that makes a lot of sense... So do u think I shouldn't add anything right now?
I guess when I said "some" it sounds like I am just running out and stocking the tank. My plan was to get 1 clownfish, 1 cleaner shrimp, a couple of snails and a couple of crabs... would you say that I am at the stage to do that now? or should I wait a little longer?
