Stocking plans for a 25g cube.

[Tobias]

Upgrading to a 18x18x18 cube here in a couple weeks.

wanted to get some thoughts on my stocking plans. 

Fish 

1 Black snowflake clown or similar

1 original ocellaris clown  

1 royal Gramma 

1 flame angle 

 

I know the flame angle is suggested to be kept in a larger tank however I have seen plenty of them kept in a biocube 29 or similar, which when you take into account the back wall, the actually tank room is close to mine. I will have plenty of swimming room as I am only do 1 small island and 1 medium island for my rock work.

 

If not the flame angle what other active fish with vivid color would you suggest?

I may just do any pair for clowns, I like the black snowflake looking ones and my girlfriend likes the nemo looking ones.

I would leave off the angel.  Tank is not really big enough. IMO

Agreed, a smaller species may work, but I think there are more suitable fish for nanos. Possum/pink streak wrasse, dartfish, plenty of benthic species, gang blennies, etc.

I agree with leaving the flame out. IMHO the cherub angel would work with enough live rock work to hide. The gramma likes his caves. Both nice Caribbean species.
