Help me stock my tank

[johnvu713]

Just set up a 25 cube for my gf please help me fill her wish list. It's an open top so no jumpers like wrasses and dartfish. Nemo is already on her list :hmm5: Thanks!

Try a yasha goby. They are so cool.

 

[peasofme]

all fish are jumpers

 

[johnvu713]

Very nice looking fish but for $90 that probably last for a couple of years max.

I always suggest some kind of blenny

 

[johnvu713]

Got my eyes on a horned blenny.

 

[peasofme]

dunno how hard horned are to feed but i love blennies

 

[johnvu713]

Liveaquaria has them as moderate.

Super hardy and very personable

 

[johnvu713]

Horned blenny it is...what else guys?

How about a Flame Angel or Coral Beauty?

The tank is on the small side for them. A royal gramma is a beautiful good nano fish though.

I would say Dwarf Seahorse, smaller tanks make it easier to keep them, as they are slow and need a LIVE food source. I believe the scientific name for them is H. Zorinae, don't quote me on the name though, I may be wrong!

Try a sandsifter goby. I love my diamond watchman goby!

sixline wrasse. Cool looking functional fish that's always cruising the tank. Not much of a risk for jumping and even if it did take a leap it's a $15 fish.

 

[doublejhunter]

How about a gold assessor for something a little different?

Rbta

 

[johnvu713]

I'd like to add a flame angel but as mentioned my tank is a tad too small for one, I'm afraid.
A seahorse could be in the mix however they need daily feeding so that's a big drawback.
As for sandshifter goby I'm getting a Hi fin goby.
Really want a six line but they're jumpers. Some folks claimed their 6 line wrasse are very low risk jumper while other have said otherwise. Can someone add to this?
GA are very nice but too pricey for a nano ;0)
An Rbta is a must IMHO.

purple firefish, lots of color and graceful swimmer. i wouldn't go near a seahorse until you have more experience under your belt. you could also go with a cherub angel.

Cardinal fish are cool and great for a nano! Some fish are more prone to jumping, but all fish can jump. Maybe build a cheap DIY top? If you do, you'll have more options (firefish, flasher wrasse . . . etc).

Good luck and post pictures!
