Good Choices????

Can i get a firefish and a yellow neon goby in a 5 gal..
Plus would i be able to just have some star polyp and some yellow polyps and a few mushrooms..What and how many different kinds of inverts can i put in there????help please

I would recommend only one of those fish for the tank. Five gallons is a bit small for two fish. Are you sure five gallons is the biggest you can go for tank size?

ya ..im only 13 my parents won't let me..

 

[jacknjill]

but it says you have a 29, 5 , and 20 gallon tank also under your info

 

[lefty]

Maybe the other two belong to his parents?

i had to take down the 20 the glass had cracks in it

 

[lefty]

Ah...and I don't suppose you could replace the 20 then?

i dont have enough money..my parent dont really care about the tank so they wont give me any money for it..

 

[lefty]

Ah...darn. That's too bad. 20g glass tanks at ***** are about $40.00. If you have the other equipment from other tanks to use on it you wouldn't have to invest all that much money. Or if it's really important to you, you could just wait until you have enough money to invest in a larger tank. =)

at least go with a 10 gal they are the same price as a 5 gal
you can get a 10 gal all glass aquarium at pet co. or wal-mart for around 10 dollars.
with a 5 gal you are limited to keeping inverts and (Mabie) a neon goby and thats pretty much it (no firefish)
with a 10 gal you have more fish options and more room for corals do a search for brooklyn Johnny kitchen nano and check his 10 gal out just remember he is one of the best reef keepers out there with years of reef keeping under his belt
good luck
