Fish Recomendation Please

Reefer07 · 12/15/2007, 04:36 PM

I have a 10 gallon nano reef that has been up for about 3 months now. I have a O. clown in it and I had a Purple Firefish which died yesturday unfortunetly when I moved my tank back from college. I was getting sick of him and was planning on selling him but that wasn't the way I wanted to get rid of him.

Anyways, I would like to add another fish in there but I am not sure what would be compatible with the O. Clown.
I have heard different opinions about a clown goby but I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions.

You only have a 10gal my friend. Thats very SMALL and unstable compared to most larger tanks. You might just want to keep a pair of occelaris in there with an anemone and few corals. Other than that... I dont suggest getting anything bigger than a clown right now because your tank isnt really a good size for stocking fish.

Hey now, I kept a Great White in a 15gal. for years! "KIDDING" 1-2 small fish(1"-2" each as adults) max. If your clown doesn't like that clown goby, say goodby to him, cause he doesn't stand a chance.

So there is no other fish I can add? The clown wasn't bad with the firefish.
Also, what are the chances of me adding another clown and the current one accepting it? I know you are suppose to add clowns at the same time so....

I was also thinking shark when I read the title, but maybe a nurse.

Do not put an anenome n a 10 gallon bad idea they need at least 30 gallons. there are a lot of gobies that would work with you setup

A chalk bass would be a great add.
