Best 5 fish

Sixlines are very hit or miss. Ive had bad luck with them either being skittish and hiding or complete terrors. They can be amazing fish if you get the right one, but tossing one in a small tank seems to bring the negative out.

 

Would you guys recommend getting the six line wrasse Extremely small, and making it the last fish to add to your tank?

 

If you have an established tank with enough LR you can have a mandarin. I just add a bottle of tiggerpods to my 46 at night every few months. I have had him now about 2 years

 

qucik question, why would you need pods for the madarin dragonet fish? is it because they are picky eaters? and wont eat what you put in the tank like brine?
Yes, very picky. Most will not eat any type of prepared and will only eat live pods exclusively.

And i kinda made this thread just to see what ppl would like if they had a 30 gallon tank. I myself do have a 30 gallon but i do have a list of what fish i'd like to have, wanted to see what some experts or ppl that know more then me would think.

30 gallon(would like to have)
-2 occelaris clownfish Good
-six line wrasse Good
-clown goby Good
-yasha goby Good
-Hawkfish.' What kind? In general, hawk fish are pretty aggressive and will eat shrimp and crabs, so might not be the best choice.

Why do blennies and gobies put the same thoughts into my head. what do blennies do that gobies don't. Vice Versa?
Completely different fish. Gobies are carnivorous sand dwellers. Blennys are algae eaters.
thanks, Just thought i put that out there. Would like to hear what the people think, and wonder what they would like.

 

Thanks PackLeader LOL. very helpful. lol

Flame Hawkfish, sorry about that one, my bad. Ok so would you recommend a blenny or a clean up crew, if you didnt see a nice blenny.

Also for my 30 gallon clean up crew, right now i got:
-4 Nassarius
-3 Turbos
-2 Ceriths
-2 Blue legged hermits
-And A Fighting Conch.

Should i have more than that??

 

if the tank is established you'd probably want more snails.... in my 58 I have

>100 dwarf ceriths
20ish regular ceriths
15-20 nassarius vibex
25 blue leg hermits
8 red leg hermits
2 very large Zebra turbos
6 nerites
4 limpets
2 fuzzy chitons
1 bumblebee snail (not really CuC, but a very pretty snail)
1 fighting conch

In 48 hours or so they have knocked out a lot of my cyano problem, yay!

 

I havn't kept one, and all the research I've done on that butterfly is that it's fine with enough rockwork. It seems like a big fish for that size tank.

 

please only get a mandrin if your tank is really stable, one of the saddest things is when people get in this hobby and go buy a mandrin and it dies on them through either hunger,stress,or goign through pain cause of water condition.

 

Yeah i dont plan on getting a mandarin fish, the only way would be if its about 6-12 months from now and i have room for a fish.
