Dennis_said Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 My tank is a 25g Tall, and I wish to add something up top that would make use of that area... any fish that would do this and stay small while reef safe? Thanks! Link to comment
surfy Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 My false perkula clown always stays at the top of my 7. I'm not sure if they would stay there in a larger aquarium. I also have a long finned fairy wrass (flasher) in my 35g that always bobs up and down around the top, very cool little fish IMO. A bit shy though. Link to comment
Dennis_said Posted August 7, 2003 Author Share Posted August 7, 2003 Awesome thanks for the tip Surfy! I have another wrasse in my tank, dunno if he'd get along... as of right now, I have a strong desire for a pair of green chromis, although it might be shooting up my bioload a bit Anybody w/ any experience whether it would be okay to add a pair of green chromis to a 25g tall w/ a possum wrasse and two clowns already in there?

Chamkeeper Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Chromis are pretty scrapy, if you move some tank decorations around they will probably be fine. Don't expect them to school unless you put something in the tank that scares them. Link to comment
Dennis_said Posted August 7, 2003 Author Share Posted August 7, 2003 Ah, I see, thanks, I didn't really care about schooling, I just heard they do better when there's 3 and above? Link to comment
Crakeur Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 fire fish swim towards the top (and jump). banggai cards will swim in the middle or upper portion (if they swim, they tend to just float). Link to comment
Dennis_said Posted August 7, 2003 Author Share Posted August 7, 2003 Cardinals are cool fish, but they just don't look too tropical to me... I really don't know why hehehe Thanks for the great suggestion though Crakeur Link to comment
fishbabies Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 1 or 2 green chromis should be cool. I would watch their behavior tho. i have one that does fine. maybe a chromis and a banggai. in my experiences, chromis tend to adopt strange pecking orders in groups above 2 or 3. sometimes it's not a problem, sometimes the smallest gets tormented to death. mine is always at the top of the aquarium exploring Link to comment
Dennis_said Posted August 7, 2003 Author Share Posted August 7, 2003 Thanks fishbabies Would that bit a huge bioload in the end? POssum wrasse, pair of ocellaris, chromis, bangaii? Link to comment
