Obi Fingerling Posts: 15 Kudos: 14 Votes: 7 Registered: 02-Jan-2005	Hello a friend gave me a tank he no longer wants it is 40gal (US) I wanted to start a marine tank but have a lot more research to do yet. I just wanted to know how many fish I can have :88) and which are good for beginners I read that Percula Clownfish, Blue-green Damselfish, Fairy Basslet, and angelfish like lemonpeel or flame are some good beginner fish. What do you guys think? Which ones would work best together? as i would love a community tank Thanks Last edited by obi at 27-Sep-2005 19:59

You need to keep parameters at appropriate levels, and in the end, your live rock will serve as your biological filtration.
