Best fish for a 30 gallon look down cube.
 
Hey everyone,

I'm trying to decide what Fish to put in my 30 gallon tank. There will be mostly montipora's maybe a clam or 2 in the future. I would really like to put a candy hogfish in, but what fish would go well with it?

Any I've kinda narrowed it down, but any suggestions are welcome!

I thought catalina goby preferred colder water?

Only one fish going into the tank?

Yeah I just looked it up, and your right. They do prefer colder water, but you can get ones allcimated to reef temps.

I'm looking for a lower maintence tank, so I don't want many fish.

Try a small harem of royal grammas.

I heard you can acclimate a Catalina, but it will not have the same life span. An LFS here is now labeling them as such and runs a separate tank for them.

Good luck. Gramma is my vote!

Yellow watchman goby (if you don't get the yellow coloured candy hogfish), flame hawk, Bangaii cardinals or a Cherub angel.
