Default New to Forum and time for me to add corals and fishes

Hi,

I'm new to this forum and excited to see if anyone can help me out!

I've had the Oceanic Bio Cube 8 gallon tank for a little more than a month now.
Where i got it from they told me that i have to be with denzel fishes first for the first month as a try out month basically to see how i can handle the fishes and to get the water circulating to the right temp. im guessing.

Well i went back there yest. with a cup of the water of my tank so they could see if the water is in good condition and they told me i'm set to go to start adding coral reefs and switch the denzels to fishes that i liked.

The reason why i need your help is because i dont know exactly what type of coral reefs to look and fishes to look for?
I dont know what would look really nice on my tank and dont know the amount of coral reef to put in the tank so that the fishes could have the freedom of swimming as much as they want.

Could you please help me with the amount and type of coral reefs and what type of fishes are beautiful and get along with one another? Also, i wanted to see if i get the little crab or fish that cleans the tank....is that ok?

Hope you guys can help!

-Paul

Welcome to RB Paul!! You should get yourself a small clean up crew (few snails & little crabs) to keep the tank clean. Since you have a small cube you're only going to be able to get a few fish - consider the smaller ones like clowns, firefish, royal gramma, or scooter blenny. As far as corals go, I don't what your lighting is but you can get mushrooms, zoos & the likes. Post some pictures when you get it stocked.
