Here are my favs...

[Chromis]

I'd like to keep the following fish.  I have placed them in order starting with what I like most and have included the number I'd like.

 

2-5     Banggai Cardinals

1        Neon Dottyback, Orchid Dottyback, or Blue Assessor

1-3     Neon or Clown Gobies

1-2     False Percs

 

But obviously I can't have all of them in a nano.  I plan on having hermits, snails, 1-2 skunk shrimp and various corals.

 

What combination of these fish would you choose for a:

 

10 gallon?

 

15 gallon?

 

20 gallon?

[Guest AbSoluTc]

10-15 gallon = max of 2

 

20 gallon = max of 3

[jay2k2]

i agree

[Chromis]

I'm not saying that's what I want ... it's what I like.

 

If you had each of those setups what combos of those fish would you choose?

[Nishant3789]

10 gallon- 2 perculas

15 gallon- not sure but 2 percs would be ok

20 gallon i think u may be able to get away with 4 bangii cardinals i mean hell quicksilver has 3 fish in his ten gallon. just make sure u watch ure bioload

[rhinoivory]

10 gallon-2 True Perculas

15 gallon-1 neon gobie, 2 Perculas

20 gallon-Pygmy Angel

What about a pair of Banggai Cards and a small dottyback/gramma in a 15g?  Too much agression from the dottyback/gramma???

 

Or a pair of Cards and a pair of neons in a 15?

A true pair of cardinals would work but....getting a true pair is a monstrous task. if they aren't a pair they will most likely kill each other. Make sure they are paired to begin with and prepare for alot of work keeping the babies they have every 40 days or so.

HTH,

The dottyback will kick the hell out of the cardinals.

 

You may be able to get away with the orchid paired with another semi-aggressive fish like a false perc but the neon or blue are out of the question.

3 bengiia cardnals in a 15. I love schooling fish

[Toyfreek]

if you have three bangaii's when they reach mating age they will kill each other.
