The biggest mistake I made when I was first starting out in saltwaterfish is buying many beautiful fish of different types too quickly. Needless to say, the stress gave way and my tank got ich, and they all died. Now, what I do is start a new tank with hardier fish and let them for a couple of months before introducing any new ones(and I like to introduce two at a time). I add the new ones when I am doing a partial and the lights are off , and will keep the lights off till the next day. I have found this method seems to work for me. The biggest challenge I had was when I was moving from one city to another. I conserved much of the water of the existing tanks, but this was a big undertaking. Thankfully, I had some help because of the move itself I needed to hurry with the fish, which was about a two and a half hour ride. I only had one casualty and that was a turbo snail. Everyone else survived which was a miracle. Now, I need to get some for my fish only tank, and so I am looking at which would work with the two current inhabitants I now have.
