Fishie??

[demartini]

What fish should I add to my 18 gallon ADA? I currently have a pair of picassos.
I was going to get a helfrich's firefish, but I would be devastated if it decided to jump out of the tank.

Oh... you should most definitely get you a nice little basslet... I love the smaller basslets...
Not those dumb royal grammas though..

Yellow Assessor. Golden Basslet - Assessor flavissimus - Yellow Assessor Basslet

Very nice coloration, non aggressive.

 

[cocoacf]

Coral beauty dwarf angel

 

[kromix]

Isn't a Coral Beauty Dwarf Angel too big for an 18g ?

 

[nano-newb1983]

yup

thanks for stealing my idea.

I would do either a blenny or goby since you already have two swimming fish. I'm picking up a hi-fin banded goby later this week.

 

[scottallert]

If you were to put a mesh top on or egg crate id go with the blue dot jawfish
or a midas blenny.

 

[happitylogan]

i vote a flaming prawn goby/shrimp pair. beauty and fun

 

[demartini]

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm still not sure what i want lol I really really want a helfrich's firefish... he'll jump out for sure though. =(

 

[happitylogan]

I dont like that firefish cause his spike fin isnt as high as the other two. get something more purdy

McCosker's Flasher Wrasse would look nice or a Fairy Wrasse...there very peaceful not aggressive at all...

 

[demartini]

I was just thinking about a wrasse, but I was told that they'll jump. I might just take a chance and get a flasher wrasse.

 

[demartini]

I think I'll also get a yasha goby with a pistol shrimp.

 

[cal559]

Oh yeah forgot they do jump...idk its your call...lol

 

[freeborder_01]

yasha and pistol was going to be my suggestion, i also agree with the wrasse. Could you make a cover for the tank to prevent jumpers?
yellow coris wrasse would be cool but i also am fond of the McCosker's Flasher Wrasse which was mentioned before

I could get a glass cover, but I would be worried about the lack of oxygen exchange.

 

[demartini]

ok! I'm getting a candy basslet!

 

[cal559]

Cool!!!
How big they get? price range?
