Fish suggestions

likwid · #1 12-02-2008, 04:50 PM

Hey guys,

I have a 28g HQI BioCube that has been up and running for half a year now. Currently for livestock I have a clownfish w/ bubbletip anemone and a randals goby. The clownfish just stays inside the anemone all day and the goby usually stays near his burrow. I am looking for another fish that will be fairly active and fun to watch since these two don't really do much.

I was thinking a flame angel, but would like to hear your opinions on other fish.

Yes quite a few. Frogspawns, brain coral, birdsnest, zoas, mushrooms, ricordias, candy cane, GSP.

I personally have a Lemonpeel Angel that I'm quite happy with, but IMO I quite enjoy Dwarf Angels in general. They are rather hit & miss when it comes to being "Reef Safe" as far as I know.

Mine enjoyed the zoas I had in the tank..... But a really active, personable fish for sure! I am still new to this though, so take it easy on me if I'm wrong

I am looking at getting a clam in the future, and don't think i want to risk it :/

If your top is completely covered, I'd recommend one of the flasher wrasse's. You could even look at a smaller species of the fairy wrasse's in that size of tank as well. They are both reef safe.

How about a firefish, or a second clownfish/mate?

my orchid dottyback was a behaved and very active fish.

I had a firefish at one point, but he would just hide in the rock work and come out only during feeding. Looking for something that will just swim around all day. Not a huge fan of wrasses either.
