need some help with fish!!

[coral keeper]

I dont now what kind of fish to put in my size 8 Bio-Cube, can anyone tell me what kind of fish would look cool in a Bio-Cube reef? Im open to any suggestions.

 

[coral keeper]

Its just, theres to many cool and beautiful fish and i dont know what kind to get.

Stay small. With an 8 you are probably only going to be able to get 1 fish or two small fish. Here is a list of fish that you might consider. Firefish, Clown Gobies, Cardinals, Clowns (only certain types though), sixline wrasse, certain gobies, damsels.
Remember that being on top of your game is crucial with a small tank. I would go with probably 1 clown fish and maybe a clown or neon goby.

 

[coral keeper]

can you list some of the certain types of clowns and gobies?

 

[coral keeper]

I want a fish that can be kept in a size 8 bio-cube and that is reef safe and wont eat a cleaner shrimp or a small starfish.

 

[bruder]

Just my opinion here, you should still do your research to double check:
Clowns -
Percula
Ocellaris
Skunks
could be others that are suitable - These are just some I have seen full sized that would probably do okay.
Gobies -
Clowns
Cleaner
Engineer
Firefish
Neons
Some of the Shrimpgobies
Again, you are on the very small end of the spectrum so don't push your luck.

Hey Bruder, dont clean the back wall of your bio-cube, i dont because it serves as a source of food for my crabs, snails, hermits, fish and other living things.

 

[bruder]

Not trying to be intrusive nor offensive, but how long have you had your tank up and how long have you been keeping SW?

 

[coral keeper]

i have had my Bio_Cube for 4+ months wich was my first try to keep corals. And i have kept saltwater fish for 1 year.

 

[bruder]

Sounds cool, have you had any fish before?

 

[coral keeper]

what do you mean have you ever had fish befor? fresh? or saltwater?

 

[bruder]

I mean have you had fish in the Nano? Or are you looking to get your first fish? What is in the nano so far. What are your params?

Got a clown, but hes not going to stay in thear any longer beacuse hes getting big. I got a toad stool, 2 zoos, torch with 1 head, and a metallic green torch with 2 heads. Got 8.6 lb of live rock and about 10 lb of sand. Got 2 crabs, 8 hermits, and 8 snails. Got some sponges, and a feather cluster.

 

[coral keeper]

And got a sea anemone, Clams, and a cleaner shrimp.
