Final fish ideas?

peter505 · May 30, 2013

Ok everyone I need your help!

I have a bc 29 with 3 fish in it. I am looking to add one last fish and need to make it count.

Current fish:
Potters angel
Randalls shrimp goby
Tail spot blenny

I want to add something active and bright. It cant really be a bottom dweller as the goby has been quite territorial.

Any Ideas suggested, this tank will be up for approx 15 more months before I tear it down and head to collage.

Thanks,

Peter

I'd leave it alone as-is, especially if this is a temporary tank.

Paracheilinus really need a tank of at least 3' in length.

Its not temporary, it is a full little reef, just seeing if anyone can really wow me with Ideas.

Thanks for the wrasse Idea reefaboo!

Oh sorry I suppose that is short now that I really think of it. Just was thinking of how long a year seemed to me.

How big is the shrimp if not to small a Royal Gramma would be nice...

Another nice fish is a fire fish.

I was thinking a basslet. The shrimp goby is mid sized but stays tucked away or poking out of a hole. Not agrressive unless its another goby/ bottom goer

I was wondering what size because a royal gramma or basslets will eat smaller shrimp if they can.

Oh yeah makes sense. thanks for helping me think of basslets which i would have overlooked!

Perhaps a chalk basslet.

Chalk bass are nice, small, 'flashy' blues - should be fine for that size tank, and is reef-safe/pretty mild. I have one in my 120g Reef and really enjoy it.
