thinking about a six lined wrasse and probably some cool gobies. i want to get a very rare wrasse. im trying to add stuff that no one else would think of. ya know, be original

 

[alohami]

Yeah, good idea. Much more fun to be original! I saw a pic of a Scott's Wrasse in another thread that was awesome looking. But...I don't know if it can go in a small tank or not. Just an idea.

 

[vibe]

its debatable. i used to have a fairy wrasse, but it went carpet surfing

.

 

[aidos]

i dont think u will be able to find any wrasse species that will be
ok in a 10 gallon tank....but do some research and see if i am wrong.
BTW u tank is coming along great.
good luck :happyfish

 

[vibe]
