Suggestions for livestock in 27G cube

[larcomak11]

Maybe I've got the one bad one from the bunch, but I've seen it be very aggressive. To a 6 line and a baby Blue Tang I added in a 210. In a 90 I watched it chased a Fairy Wrasse. Recently I watched it kill my Blood Red Shrimp. Obviously that's just my experience. Awesome fish, here is my picture

That's a beautiful fish

It would be awesome to have a baby dwarf angel of some sort or a small mccoskers flasher wrasse because I will be upgrading to a large tank when I Settle down in a house in less than 2 years but its one of those things would it stress the fish out too much. I might be leaning towards a basslet of the sorts but once again I'm not sure, it takes me a long time to make a decision lol especially when it's the last fish ill be putting in this tank not wanting to over stock it

I would not do a Mcckosters in that small of tank I have one in my 50 cube and he really needs more swimming space. Even dwarf angels are not advised in nano.

gotcha, thank you! yea i'm going off of what i have been told in the past and trying to piece it together with everything that you all have been helping me with. I appreciate all the advise I can get. I'm 5 months new to this an loving every minute of it and taking in what i can get

how about putting either a mccoskers or a dwarf angel in a 55 gallon long. i started one up about 3 weeks ago and cycling it for my parents as a gift as a FOWLR tank most likely.

thanks,
alex

They would be fine in a 55 be careful with dwarf angels as they can nip at corals we really want one but we are Zoa addicts so not chancing it.

Not sure why but my answer is in the middle of your post

I'm sorry, but I don't know what fish that is; it's not Bodianus Bimaculatus.

That sooo reminds me! I think 3-4 Chalk Bass all added together would make an awesome little display!

 

[larcomak11]

hmm, i actually really like those and never considered them before. Are they more open water swimmers or do they hide a lot?

 

[mr.maroonsalty]

At times they should shoal together like anthias. All fish are different; I've a pair of tilefish for nearly five weeks now and they have been neither passive nor at all shy.

 

[larcomak11]

yea i gotcha, that would be awesome if they did. appreciate the advise!

It is the Candy under a lot of Blue Leds I can take a picture with the white leds if you'd like to be sure.

I think I can see that now! Wow! What a bully. Mine was in a 40 with fairies and flashers, a gmc and a L. swalesi.

I would suggest not getting a firefish. My purple firefish and my midas blenny bicker quite a bit in my 65 gallon.

For a tank that size I would look into some little clown gobies or a neon blue cleaner goby. They don't add much to the bioload and are cute little fish.

I also second getting a chalkbass or few. They are such underrated fish. I have one and he's very peaceful and a good eater. Mine would most likely be out more if my springeri damsel didn't hate him so much.

yea i keep thinking about chalk bass and candy hogs, but as much as i like the clown goby and other gobies, i would just worry about having too many goby like fish and them fighting others that look alike and also i would like to find a fish that would stay out in the open and not lay on rock since i think i have enough of those lol
