Need idea for show fish!

so i have a 24g aquapod and i need a show fish. i promised my son a a blue fish and i want to pick my last fish. so i need something blue that will be happy in a 24g aquapod and something not cheap something worth having as my show fish;D and ideas

 

How bout a nice blue spotted Jaw fish! They have great personalities. How deep is your sandbed?

 

+1

That was going to be my suggestion as well. You are pretty limited in choices since you have a aquapod. You must have a sand bed and must have a top since this fish will jump. What other fish do you have?

 

I like the above suggestion! I too am curious what else you have in there for compatibility?

I've been looking for a "blue" for my tank with not much luck, so I'll be following along closely. lol.

 

If you have even a tiny gap you will waste over $100.00 on a Blue Spotted Jaw fish, they are the masters of escape and will jump to their deaths given even the slightest chance. An absolutely wonderful fish with a spectacular personality but you have to do the research on this fish. You must start out with an excellent specimen and know the down fall off Blue Spotted Jaw Fish disease.

And here is the part where I turn into a nag: Composing a live stock list on coloration in a nano is not practical. There are few "show fish" that work in a nano.

The Cherub Angel is a stunning blue and works in that size tank, one of my favorites.
Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Pygmy (Cherub) Angelfish
Neon Gobies are very cool but not as active.
Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Neon Goby
This is another of my favorites, but most order on line to get a healthy specimen.
Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Blue Gudgeon Dartfish
I love Blue damsels, all except for the Figi Devil, avoid at all cost.

Sorry to be a buzz kill.

 

+1 On the Cherub Angel. I have one in my nano and he is a funny little guy. Very active, loves swimming through the rock work, and loves trying to find what he can squeeze his body through.

He has more of a deep purple/blue color and depending on your lights, the edge of his fins glow bright blue.

 

+1on a angel. Also I know its 'cheap' but my yellow tail damsel is gorgeous i think.
