Fish Suggestions?

[Reefer420]

I'm looking to purchase 2 small fish for my 16g AGA bowfront in a few weeks- any suggestions?

- I have clowns in another tank, looking for something differant and that does not hide.

-I like Blennys, not sure which would be the most appropriate...

-Corals in tank:
Frogspawn
Zoos
Shrooms
Xenia
Blasto

Probably going to get a pair of blood shrimp at some point now that that pesky anenome is gone...

Thanks!

btw- had a dream last night that I was attacked in my tank by a huge mantis...I fought back with a large pair of forceps, but couldn't get him out...it was a bad experience

Those damn mantises don't know when to quit! :icon16:

How about a Goby/Pistol Shrimp pair? That'd be neat...though perhaps not much activity from them. A Sixline Wrasse might be good with a Goby or a Blenny.

I like sixline too. She swims around all the time, and is cute-looking.

Thanks for the suggestions! - looks like I'm leaning towards a Watchman Goby of some sort (possibly a pistol shrimp/goby pair) and something else - being active/not hiding is pretty much my main concern since there will be only a couple of fish (and my tank has a lot of places to hide...).

Deanos- nice link!

Right now I'm leaning towards a Yellow Watchman Goby and a Firefish- I do use the glass lid for my tank, so it is covered to prevent jumping...

House- the catalinas look nice... it says that they need cooler temps though.

The helfrichi firefish looks great- too bad its so expensive! $189 compared with the $14-$24 for a 'common' Firefish...hmmm...

btw- anyone know the differance between Firefish from the Indo Pacific and a Firefish from the Coral Sea / Maldives?

i like the rainfordi goby - and they eat algae.

want to get 5 for my tank.

 

[Reefer420]

Thanks for the replies- still leaning towards a Firefish and a watchman goby (love the catalinas, but I am worried about their cooler temp. requirements - my tank is typically 80 during the day and 76 at night - though now it is cooler out the temp will probably stay around 78 during the day). Anyone have experience with them?

btw- will a pistol shrimp be fine w/ a Bloodshrimp or Cleaner shrimp?

Should be.

How about some clown gobies? They are small but have lots of personality!

My pistol shrimp killed a couple of Peppermint shrimp so I haven't put any other shrimp in with him. He is larger than most Peppermint shrimp and is pretty aggressive, he actually attacks my fingers we I go into the tank.
