Good focus fish for a nano

[matt_C]

solorensis boxfish is the only boxfish that i would say for a 30 gallons as there max size is only 4 1/2 inches
Serranus tortugarum or chalk bass they have awesome reddish and blue color
max size of about 3 inches
Almost any blenny would be great if you want one that stay smaller. I would say ember blenny, tail spot blenny, or bicolor blenny. Blennies have great personally.
dottybacks get to aggressive.
Almost any hawkfish. i would add them last though.
Yellow candy hogfish or a peppermint hogfish.
As fars as Wrasse go. Sixline is always a great choice, as they are great little hunters. Lubbocks fairy wrasse have great color and stay small.
pygmy wrasses are good but very shy at first.


If your looking for something a little different go with a blue spotted puffer or any of the Canthigaster species. Although they eat anemones, so all anemones would be out. i've also heard of some nipping on polpys. The two i own only eat anemones and they love pellets.
