SSMangrove Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 get something small. no angels; they can destroy your reef anyways. firefish, royal gramma, royal dottyback, shrimp goby, those are all fine choices, but please, NO ANGELS! Link to comment
SARBoy Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Sorry i can't offer advice. I would be intrested in peoples thoughts on a 29g 24"x14"x24"(LxWxH) and any angels that may be sutable. KeeperOfFishyPeace if you want an angel could you get a bigger tank? Just thinking of another way around the problem. Link to comment
flick Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Hey! I've got a bi-color angelfish!!! Seen below, hsi names Maverick No one on here seems to have owned, or own one I made several threads asking for help... they didn't really know what they were talking about. So, coming from a guy *with* experience, lets start! lol When i got mine, hes about 3", he ate at the shop. When i got home he adjusted very well! Active, gorgeous, i've always wanted one, so i couldn't have been happier! Until he didn't eat They are very, and i mean VERY picky eaters. They dont like 90% of foods, and it sucks! The water quality was perfect, and all!!! So, i didnt think he was under stress. He didn't eat anything for a good 2 weeks and i thought he was gonna die any minute! Until yesterday! He ate SOO MUCH mysis shrimp, and is now hooked!!! Hes very healthy again, plump, nie bright colour like his good old self! Im SOOO PLEASED!!!... After all, i've wanted a bicolor angelfish since i was 8 or so (im now 17)... They dont really swim alot. He likes his cave, and will swim around yes, but not as active as tangs, or other angels. Maybe he's still a bit shy, but it's been 3 weeks now, and he stays in his lil area 70% of the time. He *does* however pick at my xenia Not that much, and i dont really care if he eats them... as i'd rather have a gorgeous angel, then xenia i got for free thats spreding ALL over my tank... Check out my diary in my thread for more info on Maverick, and my tank in general! I want to go to Wheres The Reef this weekend to get my clowns... Have you seen good ones? Or any True percs?

KOFP Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 i'm not going with an angel because of the chance it will pick at my corals, also, i realized my tank is too small for an angel. i'm thinking of a friedmani pseudochromis ( a.k.a orchid dottyback), a six-line wrasse, or a purple firefish. maybe a royal gramma, i don't know. probably one of the 4.

allenspidey Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Royal Gramma was the worst fish I have ever had. Link to comment
KOFP Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 i'm leaning towards a six-line or the orchid dottyback. i've seen many peaceful orchids in the tanks at my LFS. Link to comment
punk-o-rama Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 A six-line will eat all of your pods and things of the like im pretty sure. Personally I'd go for a goby or a blenny. I have a Bi-colour blenny in my eclipse six and he has got to be one of the coolest fish i have ever kept/seen. He just skipps around between his 3 caves and has more personality than me. Plz dont get all PETA on my A$$ he will be moving to my 100 or so gal when i move house. Link to comment
johnnykjr Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 just curious ....would he do any better in a 20 long? Link to comment
Kfmmartin19 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I never understand how ppl find these threads 7 years later... Link to comment
johnnykjr Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 have an opportunity to get one so I put in a search Link to comment
Kfmmartin19 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 have an opportunity to get one so I put in a search I would say no. Only angelfish I would try in a 20L would be a cherub or flameback. Both are cool btw and I would recommend one. I have a cherub and he's the bomb.com Link to comment

Kfmmartin19 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Thanks for the response....only reason I asked cause I may get for freenp. It'd probably be ok for awhile if he was little but they can get up to 6" and I wouldn't keep one in a 20L permanently. Link to comment
Gooburz Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Seems no matter what anyone tells him he is gonna put it in the tank. I foolishly put 1 in my 20L without knowing and its dead now, never again knowing better. Link to comment
PiscesBoy Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I mean I think it depends how big the fish is initially. If it's almost full grown then that's a definite no. If its little then it's possible I think for a little while. Link to comment
