Reef Fish

[mike007]

What smaller active fishes would you recommend for a reef aquarium. They must be very hardy and no jumpers.

Everytime my first choice is ClownFish.. Their are so many different breeds now, Some of them are just Amazing looking!! We just added 2 Extreme Snowflakes a month ago and they are easily the best looking fish in the tank. The only thing is if you have any Torch, Hammer, or Frogspawn.. They will most likely move into them. We have a 8 Head Frogspawn and a 4 head Gold Torch, and they use both as their homes.

Why no jumpers? Any fish may jump....

 

[mike007]

Open top. Some are more prone to jumping than others.

I'd recommend a top or no fish, but i like keeping things alive and making sure they don't die horribly through suffocation....

Man, there are a bunch of fish out there to recommend, way to many to just throw out there, are there any in particular we should be going after here?
I also don't like tops on a tank, keeps the gassess from exchanging properly.

Clear mesh tops avoid this issue.
