Fish suggestions

I wouldnt put an angel in a 30 gallon, thats just me tho. I also wouldnt use up my bio load capacity (goes quick in 30 gallons) with any type of damsel. I like the 6 line, firefish, bi color blenny or lawnmower blenny, maybe an orchid dottyback or royal gramma, even a splendid dottyback...picked one up for my 90 2 weeks ago, awesome fish. Maybe a neon goby, Ocelleris Clown(s), I have a maroon clown since he was a baby and isnt all that aggressive but that just maybe mine. You could try a jawfish, my gf has had great success with hers in her 10 with an open top tank. Good luck

 

I've always been a big proponent of the Banggai Cardinal. They're not aggressive in the least, and they're beautiful to look at. Though only black and white, the dots on them POP under good lighting.

 

Reef Sparky, threat to shrimp? Ive wanted some but never got em for that reason

 

Absolutely not. They don't eat anything live in a tank, other then brine shrimp if you add them.

They like meaty foods, like most fish, but take flake food too. I feed them mostly frozen brine, krill, and they snag some of the tang's seaweed on the clip, but only after the tang shreds it off. They don't ever tear it from the clip.

They're VERY peaceful, docile, community oriented fish, and never bother any life in the reef tank. If you do a little reading, I think you'll find them completely reef safe. ;D

 

Hmm, if i tried i wonder if my sohal would bother em. He didnt mess with the splendid dottyback or orange spot goby i added a couple weeks ago. Maybe ill try, they had 5 or 6 little ones at my lfs last weekend.

 

My powder blue doesn't mess with them. I have two (banggai's, that is.)

 

So banggai cardinals are cool fish

 

You kiddin' me? Fonzie learned everything he knows from Banggais!!

 

how bout a lawnmower blenny
