Fish List for a 24gal Aquapod ???

[jackson6745]

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:bablefish

get a nice psuedo

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

 

[D1J8Z]

tank is too small for a mystery wrasse....

IMO

 

[Domboski]

A pair of yellowhead jawfish if you have a sand bed

 

[jackson6745]

Dom, definitely not enough sand for them.

What about a possum wrasse?

 

[D1J8Z]

may get picked on..nothing is a 100%

How long have the other fish been in the tank ?

 

[jackson6745]

The hawk has been in the tank for 1 month

A pair of percs.

Yellow Coris wrasse

 

[prattreef]

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

 

[jackson6745]

Chief, I know clowns would work but they're so cliche. A yellow coris wrasse would be cool.

Randy, the blackcap basslet is ok. Not crazy about them though.

I appreciated the suggestions. What else would work?

 

[prattreef]

Bangaii cardinal? Small pygmy angel. (C. argi)? , yellow coris or other smaller Halichoeres wrasse? Is the tank covered? If so, a small flasher or maybe lubbocks fairy wrasse?

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

What about one of the smaller filefish?

Pipe Fish.

I think the hawk and the Gobies will fight til the death.

Bluestripe Pipefish would be awesome. Good call Chief

 

[jackson6745]

Randy, I always wanted a cherub argi. Would they nip at clams or SPS?

Pipefish are very cool. I never kept them before . Is it difficult to get them to take frozen foods?

 

[Domboski]

The bluestripes are one of the easier pipefish to get eating frozen mysis IMO. The only issue with them is I haven't seen too many of them offered lately large enough to eat mysis shrimp. If you went that route and couldn't find 4-8" pipefish, you may get stuck feeding BBS until it grew a bit.

 

[prattreef]

I'd say the SPS are safe, the clam might be at risk.

 

[pecan2phat]

Never had a cherub that did not nip on sps polyps.

 

[cali_reef]

a small Multi-color angle, Joe can get you one.

how about a hippo tang? :lol2:, I heard if you keep up with water changes, you don't even need a skimmer.

How did the surgery go?

 

[jackson6745]

Hippo + purple tang would look great.....good idea I'll get both

Surgery went good but its been a very painful week. Going to be a long recovery.
