Small interesting fish

[aleonn]

I love the royal gramma basslet, starry blenny, and midas blenny. Flasher and fairy wrasses add nice color and flare to a tank. Also like the yellow coris wrasse for his looks and for pest control.

I really really miss my Flabelligobius, I had him for around 18 months and he disapeared. They are a great fish but apparently they are not being collected anymore. I have tried several sources to see if I can get them and have come up short.

Love my barnacle blennies, are small with great personalities.

I know LiveAquaria sold them in the past. Have you contacted Kevin to see if he can get you one?

I don't have the fish(es) yet, but I'm setting up my 50 as a biotope/species tank for either one or a pair of captive-bred orchid dottybacks (pending the likelihood of compatibility issues). I had one briefly before and found her very entertaining to watch, although a bit cryptic. But that's part of the fun--watching to see where they pop up next.

how about an assesor? they hang out upside down under caves and overhangs.

Blue striped pipefish

very nice paul
there are lota of small gobies to choose from

 

[Kataro]

load of trimma / eviota type gobies.

I have a close to 30 gobies in my 150G 4'x3'x20". See them all at feeding time.

My mated pair of swissguard basslets are super cool in my 65, IMO in a bigger tank they might be overlooked a little unless you know what they are lol.

+1 on the swissguard. I don't see them much anymore. I was really considering one but I think i am going to wait till i have a more mature, stable system. They are strikingly beautiful.

I'm surprise no one said flaming prawn goby.

 

[Paul B]

Thats because there is too much flaming on these threads already

 

[coolz]

Flaming Prawn Goby. It only gets to be a couple of inches and is very secretive but when you get a chance to see him-WOW. I have one in a 34 gal Solana. A smaller tank would be better in order to see him more often.

 

[aandfsoccr04]

can you keep a watchman goby and a starry blenny in the same tank?

 

[29reef]

I'm still looking for a blue stripe pipe fish....here's some small fish I've decided to keep. The neon is with the big fish in the DT; he's too bold for the others in the 30.

I think Tube Blennies are great for Nano Tanks. A few options below:

Pike Blenny (Caribbean YellowFace are better for Nano's as they are a little smaller, OrangeThroat "Like in my avatar" from the Sea of Cortez work also, but get a little bigger).

Caribbean Sailfin Blenny - Males are dark black and will display with there large Dorsal fins, only get 2inches or so.

Currently have a Sailfin and YellowFace in my 15 gallon nano, and then have a larger Yellowface in my 150 gallon reef.

I have a Geometric hawkfish thats about 1/2" long. And the good thing he's reefsafe.
I also have a yellow banded possum wrasse

 

[hemicuda]

some of my favorite small fish that i have in my standard 29g... geometric pygmy hawk, swales basslet , colletti basslet, elongated pseudochromis.
