Smallest reef fish???

[jrockssvt]

I have a 15g with a true 3" perc and I am looking for 2 more fish but considering I only have a 15g....my question is what is the smallest reef safe fish that is not in the goby family???...... I am looking for a open water swimming fish... Pseudochromis???

Try a Fridmani, Springeri, or Elongatus. Yellow assessor. Covered aquarium, Helfrichi Fire.

trimma gobies will be the smallest although they aren't readily available. what about a PR of neon gobies or 2 firefish?

you could look into a tail spot blenny also they stay very small.

The Springeri is the smallest of this group at around 1.5" and very cool but my vote goes for the Yellow Assessor, slightly larger @ 2" and my favorite by far.

Assessors get a little bigger but tend to hang under caves - visible, but not "active." Beautiful colors and beautiful fish.

I have a Flaming Prawn Gobie that's about a half inch. It's fun to watch him flair his fins. I second the Trimma gobbies too, I have 3 of them.

After reading this over again, I suggest upgrading to a 30 gal. That way you have more options with fish. I love my 30 cube.
