revkev6 Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 hey guys, looking to start figuring out what I want for fish for my 24 gallon cube. I just set it up 3 days ago so I have a bit of time to decide. I like all the cute gobys and firefish. I was thinking maybe a perc as well. my question is due to the height of the cube I have a fair amount of open water at the top of the tank. I would like to have a fish that likes to swim in the higher open water. does anyone have a suggestion? maybe something like a yellow tail damsel? or some sort of cardinal? I have always set my freshwater tanks up so that I have a pretty equal distribution of fish between the bottom, middle and surface and I would like to have the same for my saltwater tank. I would like to keep my fish as peacefull as possible and reef safe as i plan to keep corals as well. Link to comment
revkev6 Posted May 11, 2005 Author Share Posted May 11, 2005 went to the LFS yesterday and talked to them. the guy there told me that a pigmy angel would be "perfect" for what I was looking for. I have read that they should be kept with caution in a reef tank as they have a tendancy to nip soft corals. I still say I'm leaning towards a yellow-tail damsel between the two Link to comment
Farrah Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Don't get a damsel unless you plan on only having the damsel (and with the 24, I imagine you want more than one). They are too territorial, and as adults will kill other fish you keep with it. Link to comment
barbadeau Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I have a stock 24 and was thinking of a Pygmy, not sure how reef safe they are, might want to make sure they have plenty of food, incase you have corals..... I have a very small False Percula and a Red Firefish so far...... Link to comment
