You have no idea how cool it would be if there was a 6-8" fully grown shark. I would build a tank for it ASAP!

Most sharks are kept in super tanks, like 300-500g+ I think. I've never seen one/some in anything smaller than a 300. And I think the owner was upgrading to a 750 due to the growth in the sharks.

i would love 2 have a blacktip reef shark tank but the cost would be outragous...so ill stick with my nano, and my TOMATO clowns!! lol they are such a**holes

#1 Shrimp Goby of your choice (Mine is Randall's) w/ a shrimp
#2 Clown Blenny of your choice (I don't even know what mine is.)
#3 Cherub Angel (If you aren't keeping LPS)

Don't need any more that that, this is a nano!

Clearly the best Nano fish is "Steve":

i wanna mention Sixline Wrasse...they are a really cool fish 2

I had a 6line and an Ocellaris together in a 29 gallon and they got along fine. The relationship ended in tragedy when my heater stuck in the "on" position raising the tank to 94F. It killed the 6line but didn't phaze the tank-raised Ocellaris.

The fish list for my next tank,blue spotted jawfish,atlantic candy basslet,black and white ocelaris clowns and maybe a mckoskers flasher wrasse. All of these are pretty sweet nano fish for a larger nano and if moneys no object.

Do Jawfish jump? Are they "carpet surfers" in an open tank?

 

[jay02483]

yeah i heard jawfish r notorious jumpers, i want 1 but not gonna have 1 and have it jump outta my tank!

 

[basser1]

Jawfish aren't a problem if you have a cover for your tank!

Here is clearly the #1 fish....... has a ton of personality!

 

[dalston]

Here are my top 10...some i've owned, some I wish I own

1. Tailspot blenny (greatest fish I ever owned)
2. Blue spot jawfish (providing tank is covered)
3. Flaming prawn goby
4. Possum wrasse (never had a jumping problem, but i'm sure they do)
5. Rainfords goby
6. Barnicle blenny
7. Red banded High fin
8. pair of occy's (mine got real agressive in my 12)
9. YWG
10. purple fire fish (jumper too)

Whats the chance of them jumping?

 

[jay02483]

i got a sixline in my undercovered 29gal for like 6months and its been fine...so how do u cover a reef tank so that a bs jawfish dont jump w/o actually choking the tanks airflow?

 

[gobygoddess]
