help me help my girlfriend...

love this hobby as much as i do!!!! So when i fiirst got my tank my gf wanted to have nothing to do with it. Slowly over time she has start take a liking to it. I currently have a ten gallon with two b&w false percs. I wanted to know if their were any other pink fish that could occupy my tank with the clowns and is reef safe. I was looking at the anthias but those fish seem like a bit to much work to soon into the game. My tank is almost at 6 months. So what pink fish would you suggest???

 

Anthias need a much bigger tank to swim in and need to be fed 3 times a day. The only "pink" fish that comes to mind at this time would be a dartfish. Luna

 

I just found this one;


Pink Margin Wrasse

There is a magenta dottyback that has a dark pink appearance. Just say no.

Oh and I understand your plight. My wife could not care less about the tank. She sees it as a money pit. OK, it is, but a beautiful money pit.

Also, you pretty much have your 10g tank filled up with as much fish as it's going to take. I have 2 false percs in my 10g and that's all it will handle.

 

He only has a 10 gallon tank though.

If she likes pink, ever think about getting into corals? I believe theres quite a few "pinkish" variations out there

 

Some of the flasher wrasses have pink.
