Stocking for 10 Gallon

two gobies will fight

 

I have a 12 gal. and I personally like the clown fish. I had a fire fish and all it did was hide in the rock work. I barely ever saw it. I did have a lemon goby that was relly cool. He perched everywhere. He would just hang out on the side of the glass, top of the rocks, but they only live a year.

The clowns are always swimming around, they'll even follow you. And when I take the container of fish food out he goes crazy! They are fun. My clown hosted in my toadstool. It was cool to watch.

heres a pic, cause I love pics!

 

romises that are quite beautiful even though there you know.... damsels and they tend to be boring but like the velvet damsel those are very pretty i have one. i wouldnt get more than one bottom dwelling fish it will get boring and they will fight. i would do like one crustecean one bottom fish and one open swimming fish, imo thats the best arrangement for a small tank

 

I've heard a lot about clowns and people saying 10 gallons are too small for them... but I guess I could try one. So if I'm getting a clown, I would also like a tiger pistol shrimp/ goby pair... Any good gobies it could pair up with?

 

if you put a clown in that tank i think it should be the only thing and imo its too small a tank, theres a big variety of fish suitable for a 10 gallon why would you want one thats too large.... clown gobies are open water swimmers and you could get a pair of those, make sure they are opposite sex or they will fight. or get them different colors

 

fire goby! or firefish ive heard them called both. my friend has one and its awesome

 

whats so bad about a clown in a 10g? I think an ocellaris could do fine with one other fish

 

i think a ten gallon would kinda be pushing it with one of those, some of them always are swimming or you might get lucky and get one that hides, but i would put a clown in a ten before a firefish.

 

yea, I wouldn't put a clown and another fish in a 10. Different clowns get different sizes, the one I have will only get 3-4", but I still only have the one fish.

 

you would be ok with a percula or occ in a ten gallon but just the clown no other fish and then theres a stocking problem. like i said theres a variety of small fish for a ten gallon go with a couple of those instead of trying to keep a larger fish in one. just a simpler way of doing things
