Need a point in the right direction

Devilfish!! Orchid's are the least aggresive of this species but don't think any would get along with your firefish. Sorry to sound like a broken record.Unfortunately this is the main problem with small tanks.Adding fish that will get along in its tight confines is quite a struggle and IMO you should be very cautious.

 

I agree with Vinny.

Putting a Dotty Back in a small tank is asking for trouble.

 

That's why I'm asking instead of doing So royal gamma is at the head of my list even with the potential of it not being a free swimmer.

Moving down the list: How about a Pygmy or possum wrasse?

 

Possum Wrasses are great fish but notriously shy.They do overcome the shyness in time as do most fish. I would probably choose the Possum over the Gramma as my experience with them is they can be somewhat aggresive in a small tank and IMO would worry about my Firefish (here we go again lol) as they are somewhat similar in body shape.Chalk Bass would also be a good choice.

 

Check out rarereef.com they have something they call incredible hulk bta witch are stunning

 

Thanks for the link. They look nice but those images are touched up quite a bit. I'd have to see some untampered photos to make a call. I's talking with AquaSD about some really nice RBTA's now.

Vinny, don't feel bad. Help is help, regardless. I knew my choices were slim from the start. Doesnt seem like any retailers have any possum wrasses right now so I might explore the chalk bass a bit more.

 

Aqua SD has nice stuff too no doubt. And yea its a bit bright but have been there in person and the majority of stuff is on sale. They have a coupon I used a couple days ago "liquid" gives you 33% off lol so try it out if you decided with them.

And no I don't work there or no them personally or raise my kids in there fish tank just passing along some info lol

 

No harm done I've been talking with Aqua SD today and I think that's who I will be dealing with. So far, great customer service and I like what they have in stock. Once I get shipping figured out, I'm going to pull the trigger.

 

I vote for a neon goby, they stay small, under 2", and are peaceful (are a "cleaner" species)

 

That is also an excellant choice.They are great fish and do very well in the aquarium.Very pretty too.;D
