DAP Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Please help suggest a good fish for my 10g. I only plan on having one fish, so I want it to be a good one. I don't have a sand bed, so that rules out gobies. No clowns, or frogfish either. I want something rare, but not so rare I will have to look for 6 months before I find one available. Thanks Link to comment
Neon Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 how about this little guy I saw a couple at the lfs the other day there pretty cool http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Di...d=21&pCatId=117 Link to comment
DAP Posted February 15, 2004 Author Share Posted February 15, 2004 Will an anthia be ok by itself, I thought they had to be in groups of 7 or more? I do like anthias though. Link to comment
Sting Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 No anthia in a 10G...sorry Link to comment
B16A2NR Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Get a twinspot hog fish. They are a type of wrasse that stays under 3 inches in length. They have a great personality, weave in and out of rocks, are reef safe. They use to be over $200 at the LFS a few years back when they were first available for trade now you can get them for as cheap as $40. I had one for close to 8 months before it jumped out the back of my tank. Make sure yours is covered well. A few other really cool fish to look up are cherub angels, and dwarf fuzzy lions.

Puffy Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 angels and lionfish need bigger tanks then a 10 gallon, get a small wrasse or a Firefish (red or purple) Link to comment
B16A2NR Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 If you've ever seen or even looked up a cherub angel you would know that they don't get any bigger than 2 1/2", and that dwarf lions can be purchased very small and have a slow growth rate and don't require lengthy swimming space. I have a 2" dwarf lion in my 12 g right now for over 8 months no problems. Of course there are acceptions to every rule where some 5" dwarf lion on steroids will upset the tank's chemistry but who has one that big. Todd Link to comment
Puffy Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 dwarf lions get to like 7" dude, thats still big duh Link to comment
