I agree with the sixline, unfort. my died/got killed, but he was the coolest little fish and very active!

I may stay away from the neon gobies if they have a short lifespan. How short we talking??
12 - 18 months.
Clown Gobies can also be very entertaining, they live much longer. They have been known to eat SPS polyps though.

wow, that is pretty short

Yeah, especially compared to a Purple Tang that should live 45 - 50 years.

 

[redsea]

I have a cleaner shrimp and my sixline never bothers him. I guess making a top would depend on what your lights and hood would allow. You'd be happy with a six line. I had firefish but took them back to the LFS, i had them from 8 mths and they hid constintly. When i took them back is when i got my six line he's now my favorite fish....

 

[life~reefer]

Man I can't decide! My lights are metal halides and I have no hood! Any suggestions on making a top??
Enetually when I decide I will let all you good helpers know!!

 

[redsea]

Yes, A Sixline And Firefish Will Jump

Yes I understand that!
Can anyone help with the lid???

 

[bang guy]

Eggcrate is not a perfect solution but it's better than nothing. A Firefish WILL eventually find a way out.

Clown gobies eat polyps???? I didn't know that. I have 2 yellow clown gobies in each of my tanks, and they never bother anything...they use my corals as sleeping pads...LOL
I also have a firefish with eggcrate...it has not jumped.
TO make an eggcrate top, just go to building store and buy a piece, cut to size, and put it on....very simple
I would get a flame angel...they are very colorful and very active, and would work great in your size tank.

 

[life~reefer]

I didn't think flame angels were reef safe??

 

[hobrien]

That is a 50/50 chance it is or isnt. But they are one of the best pygmy angels for a reef shot.

I would like a mandarin but I am scarred it will starve! I don't have a refugium but plan on building one later. Other suggestions??

 

[life~reefer]

I am officially adding no jumpers to the LIST! As I would like the open top.

You could always try a couple Zebra Barred Dartfish. They're easy to keep, peaseful fish and reef safe. Haven't read anything about them being avid jumpers. Plus, they're rather interesting to look at.
