Another "Pick My Fish" Thread

[Rcpilot]

Okay, last fish for my tank.

I bought another 6-line wrasse Monday evening. Tank tested good after being away for a weekend and I never did find that last 6-line.

I got room for one more fish, but it's gotte be on the medium too small size.

Current fish:
diamond watchman goby
6-line wrasse

30g high tank.

My 6-line is devouring the pods in the tank, so I don't really want to put another fish in there to compete for his food.

Reef Safe, of course. REALLY don't want a "jumper" like some of the gobys or blennies.

Open to all ideas.

how about a couple of Anthias ??

I think it's cool, but I know my kids will be calling it "the saltwater goldfish" within 5 minutes. :rolleyes:

That'll drive me to the fringes of sanity. I'll be on the phone with Doc--giving him my CC #, so he can save/counsel me over the phone. :lol: We already have 2 enormous goldfish in a little 10g FW tank. I keep begging my wife to let me trade them at the LFS for a couple tropical fish. She won't have it. I've jokingly threatened to flush them, she makes other threats.

All I need is for my kids to think I've got saltwater goldfish too.

I kinda think the blue/green chromis is cool. Could I get 2 or 3 of them? They stay small. I think it would be cool to have a school of them, but I don't think I want that much bioload in my little 30g tank.

Actually blennies don't jump and they have lots of character....How about a tailspot.........Reefermadness Escenius stigmatura Page

Can't go wrong with clownfish(I like the Gold stripe Maroons and Black clowns the best)

thats cool lokking fish ther reef

 

[winyfrog]

coral beauty is a good swimming fish, and doesn't get to big.

your choice of chromis should be a good as well I would do at least 3, try to stay with odd numbers for them.

I'm kinda partial to the flame angels.

 

[Rcpilot]

I do like that blennie, reeffreak.

I also like the dwarf angels, but I'm scared they will eat my reef. Most of them are supposed to be attracted to SPS and some clams. I don't plan to have a clam, but I do like the SPS. I do like the Flame and the Coral Beauty.

I also like a few other gobies. The red stripe gobies would be cool if I had 2 or 3 of them. I also like the Catalina goby, but it's more suited to a colder tank. My tank runs about 78-80F almost all the time. I do have a 3-4" diamond watchman goby already. Not sure it would be a good idea to put all those gobies in the same tank.

Spotted cardinal fish are kinda cool too.

My tank is too small. :grumble: I all of a sudden have a wild hair to have a small school of the same species. Even with little 3" fish, it's just too much bioload in the tank.

yea go bigger bigger.... he he :)

 

[yote]

Time to upgrade tank then Rc.

BTW
My flame angel has yet to touch any of my corals(that I know of).
But yeah,50/50 as to weather their reef safe or not.

 

[UnderwaterWorld]

Gotta love clownfish :)

 

[MikMcgyver]

I like the chromis, get 2-3 of em, they are cool little fish...

 

[reeffreak]

Well,its sounding like an upgrade might be in the works?

 

[Rcpilot]

yea go bigger bigger.... he he :)

STOP IT! :mrgreen:

 

[Rcpilot]

Well,its sounding like an upgrade might be in the works?

YOU TOO! :mrgreen:

 

[Rcpilot]

Alright, before I get myself in HUGE trouble, I have narrowed it down to these possabilities:

Flame Angel-my favorite angel of all-had one 20yrs ago
Coral Beauty Angel

This would really be pushing my fish load. My original intent was a 95% invert tank with only 3 fish

2 or 3 Chromis
2 or 3 Spotted Cardinals
2 or 3 Chalk Basslets

 

[MikMcgyver]

I say the Coral Beauty or the Green Chromis

 

[reeffreak]

Bigger tank!




Okay,I vote for the flame.
