fish suggestions??

lazycouch · Jun 23, 2020

hello! i own a 30 gallon tank (about 1 month in after cycle) and currently have an oscellaris clown + banggai cardinal , 2 small hermits, and one cleaner shrimp as well as some leathers and zoas.

i’m ready to start researching another fish and thought it might be cool to get inspiration from you guys! just looking for a good aka peaceful tank mate for the clown and banggai and corals as well. i was considering a scooter blenny but your input would be appreciated!thank you (have about 20lbs of live rock and 2 in. sand bed if that helps!

Firefish
Watchman goby and pistol shrimp
A small wrasse like a possum wrasse or one of the smaller fairy wrasses
Royal gramma
Assesor basslet (yellow, Randall's, or Blue)
Black cap basslet

Would depend if you want it to have a function in the tank or just be for show...
Watchman goby
Tailspot blenny
Bicolor blenny
Sailfin blenny
Clown goby
Six line wrasse
Royal gramma as mentioned above is nice
The goby and shrimp combo mentioned above is nice they’re fun to watch in smaller tanks

Try clown fish, blennies (the free swimmers are more friendly towards each other), tiger gobies, red head gobies, long nose hawk(a small one), wasp fish, barnacle blennies, royal gramma etc...

I agree with everyone else's suggestions, but have you considered a friend for the first clown? You could probably put 2 more fish in there, a friend for the clown, and something colorful or fun like a gramma or a blenny.
