Fish for fuge

[Otto2]

I am looking to get a fish to keep in my fuge thats in my stand. I have a 15 gallon fuge, but if you minus the sand bed and some about 5-10 pounds of rock, its really only about 10 gallons of actual water. I also have some chaeto in there.
I eventually want to put a mandarin in the display, so I dont want anything that will eat tons of pods. I was thinging along the lines of a little goby or something but want to get some more ideas.
One problem I see I might have is the Chaeto eventually filling up the whole fuge and maybe crowding out the fish. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.

One of the points of a fuge is to provide shelter for 'pods away from any types of predators. I would say no fish.

if anything id say get a couple of mollies in there. they can breed in the fuge and can make food for the dt.

I would think this size fuge would be to small for any addition. In a larger well established fuge then many like to add dragon fish for display but i havent heard of other type fish , and i think any fish would reduce the fuges ability to perform its best. Feather dusters , hermits , ect.. would be fine but more for macro algea and stable pod population.

I think you should put some pods and Chaeto in there and put the fish in the display. You could get a cool Mantis Shrimp and rename the fuge to something else like Mantis Shrimp tank.

Thats kind of what I was afraid of. I like the mantis idea, or maybe a coral banded shrimp or purple lobster? I would like to put something down there, but dont want it to take away any of the benefits of a fuge.
