Rare fish?

[Sapelo]

"Rare fish" and "deep pockets" usually go together. In general, the more rare the fish the higher the price so I'm not really sure what to suggest that is on the affordable side and also not seen very often.

You could do some marshall ventralis anthias, helfrishi, earls fairy wrasse,and the list could go on and on.

The best resolution I had for jumpers was a cover I made out of window screen framing and a light monofilament netting that fit right on top of the tank.

Hahaha....too true

A simple 'rule' to know, especially for someone that works at a LFS, is...
The ones that may jump are called 'FISH'

While no strictly rare, have you considered scorpion fish? small rhinopias, even dwarf anglers. Yellow spotted scorpions, leaf scorpions all look amazing and will thrive in a 25 gallon also they are pretty sedentary and ive never had one jump... although im sure they could under the right circumstances...

+1 dwarf anglers are so cool to watch ...[emoji7]
Unfortunately they are not cheap , usually the affordable common ones are the ones who get pretty big on average 8-10"

Get a couple of nicely colored gum drop coral crouchers and call it a day.

I never said there wasn't a fish not capable of jumping...

Never heard of them. Just googled them and seem really cool. Any experience with them?

Ive had a few in the past gorgeous fish very timid and can be hard to feed....

if you really wanted to, you could get a candy basslet. i know they go for $700, but if you want a rare fish...

my first one was killed when it got caught in a fight between 3 chromis. i moved the chromis to my other tank where my harlequin tusk made them lunch. i guess its fish karma.
