Fish List for a 24gal Aquapod ???

jackson6745 · 08-07-2008, 01:11 PM

I decided that I would like to add more fish to my nano reef.
I currently have a 2" flame hawk that is doing well eating pellets and mysis.
What would be a couple other nice fish that I could add in this small tank?

I am not too worried about excess nutrient level since I have a big skimmer and keep up with my WC's. My nitrates are undetectable and my phosphates are low (haven't tested in a while). I'm more concerned with compatibility between fish and the small size of the tank.

Thanks for any help

Hawk can be aggressive to a lot of smaller fish that would be suitable candidates such as 3 purple firefish, some of the citron goby species.

Rich, stick a mystery wrasse in there

A pair of yellowhead jawfish if you have a sand bed

Dom, definitely not enough sand for them.

What about a possum wrasse?

may get picked on..nothing is a 100%

How long have the other fish been in the tank ?

jackson6745 · 08-07-2008, 01:44 PM

The hawk has been in the tank for 1 month

you'll never see the possum. How about a blackcap basslet?
