Owl's_Head Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 38G Nuvo, about 31G of water total. The main display part is 24 inches left to right, 14 inches front to back, and 19 inches high. I believe the display is holding about 25-26G Right now I have 1 Starry Blenny 1 Fishers Angel 2 Black Clowns I started the tank with a Mimic Saddleback Filefish, which I really wanted above all fish. But he passed away pretty quickly. He was super slow to eat, I basically had to drop mysis into it's mouth in order to get anything. I'd like to maybe get another one of those, but now I'm afraid with the other fish he'll never get any food. I'm not a huge fan of firefish, as my purple firefish from my 60G tank spends 98% of his life inside rocks. Any suggestions? Everyone in my tank is pretty peaceful, so I'm not looking for a troublemaker. Link to comment
tiggs Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I'm thinking an xl panther grouper would fit nicely in there. in all seriousness, perhaps a yasha goby? Link to comment
Owl's_Head Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 No problems mixing blennies? I kind of want a swimmer... The Starry is cool and all but he really just sits in the rocks most of the day. The Angel is supposed to get like 2.5 inches max, and it's out and about with the clowns. The problem obviously is the "swimmers" need space Link to comment
Degener8 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 potters angel or coral beauty if you like angels buth stay small Link to comment
RDtrack Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 A flasher wrasse or even a leopard wrasse would be cool. Or a pistol/goby combo. Link to comment
Aqua fire/medic Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Yellow corris..... Bright in color and personality. Link to comment

Spencer7 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 *Gobies are always nice *Hawkfish would work *Potters Angel, Flame Angel, or African Pygmy are all acceptable, just a little tricky *School of chromis or cards is fine *Fairy Wrasses, if u have the $ i would consider a Mystery Wrasse If you would like some ideas feel free to check out my tank, 35 cube with like a 10g sump (similar size) not trying to plug guys GL Link to comment
coachfraley Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 +1 on fairy wrasses, but you will need a top of some sort also a big +1 on the fathead anthias, a little reclusive, but one of the prettiest of all marine fishes IMO. Link to comment

I have a Mystery in my 60G tank. Also, you think 3 chromis or cardinals would fit? Not too many fish? That would be 7 total if I did a school of 3 +1 on fairy wrasses, but you will need a top of some sort also a big +1 on the fathead anthias, a little reclusive, but one of the prettiest of all marine fishes IMO. Again, most of the fairy wrasses I'm seeing say 75G-125G tanks minimum, unless I'm looking up the wrong fish. I also have a top, a completely covered glass top. It came with the Nuvo, but I'm glad it did, as I've had multiple clowns jump out of my 60G tank. Link to comment
coachfraley Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I think it has been pretty well established on this forum that small wrasses like the flashers, lubbucks, mcCaskill, and other fairy wrasses can be kept successfully in tanks your size. Link to comment
Owl's_Head Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 OK, I just go by what sites say when I'm not sure... I've thought about the Six-Line, but I see a lot of threads about them being too aggressive. Yellowfin Flasher Wrasse says 30G and peaceful. Link to comment
HVani Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 That would be a very nice choice. Link to comment
Owl's_Head Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Well I ended up with a Blue and Red Wrasse So I guess I'm done with fish... 2 Black Clowns 1 Starry Blenny 1 Fishers Angel 1 Blue and Red Wrasse I guess I could do a clown goby, which I looked at today, but they were literally the size of a fingernail. I didn't expect them to be so small I feel like they'd be eaten as you drop them in, thinking they were mysis or something Link to comment
