Fish for a 10g Frag Tank?

[Northwest_Scapes_]

So I just setup a 10 Gallon Frag tank, and was wondering what kind of fish would I be able to house in it? The filter is an AquaClear 70, I would prefer to have only 1 that would someone benefit the corals. Any suggestions? (Corals include softies, lps, euphyllia, and gorgs)

A good addition would be a small herbivorous fish that will keep hair algae and the like at bay. Something like a rainford’s goby or a small blenny would be fun and help keep the frag plugs clean.

You might could even keep a Biota or ORA tank-raised Mandarin Dragonet....

A molly would work: it eats algae and isn't picky about cover. May or may not assist in eating of copepods.

I've seen those before, never knew they ate algae. I'll probably wait until LA gets more or if a LFS could get one in

i would do a pinkstreak wrasse or a captive bred court jester goby (wild ones are finicky and may not eat).

First one eats pests, 2nd one will eat some algae.

Second a pink streak wrasse

Even though they are captive bred and eat prepared food they require a mature tank with lots of pods

Twin spot blenny.

Sail fin Molly for algae prevention, also They eat algae that other herbivores wont eat, and a wrasse, 6line maybe, although they can be aggressive lil s::::s..for eating coral parasites.. also a few peppermint shrimp (They are communal animals so shouldn’t really be kept singularly) as “apparently” they also eat eggs of flatworms etc..

Here’s my Setup 10g frag tank with live rock and frag racks. Aqua clear hob filter and a Powerhead. Best fish for me so far a lawnmower blenny. Unreal I come home from work and the frag racks are spotless clean! Also have an azure damsel to help fertilize

 

[ReeferWarrant]

Pink Streaked Wrasse or Possum Wrasse, will eat flatworms and pods. Not sure if it'll eat algae but my Neon Goby definitely eats nori strips.

 

[CCauthers]

would go with a possum wrasse, lawnmower blenny or a molly

 

[SMSREEF]

What are your goals with the fish?
Algae or pests?
If algae, I agree a blenny.
If pests, a wrasse. Maybe six line since you won’t have any other fish.

For those that say Molly, wouldn’t they not do well in the flow needed for corals?
I ask because I have always wanted to try one but thought they could not handle high flow.

 

[Bellasmith]

I would go with molly

 

[ThatPhillyReefer]

My suggestions, pick one of the following
-lawnmower blenny
-any sort of goby
-molly
-maybe a six line

 

[Andreas' Reef]

Possum Wrasse, Red Firefish, Neon blue goby, Watchman goby. There's my 2 cents.

Lawnmower blenny for president
