What Fish Next?

[ilove2ride]

I have had my tank for 10 months... and I only have two small fish. I am going to set up a small 5 gal. quarantine, and add another fish, or two. Which fish would you recommend? I would like something that stays small, and if it can be bought captive bred or tank raised, that would be great. I just set up a BakPak 2R on my Eclipse hood... filtration should be fine, now.
For the fish I was thinking maybe a Pygmy Angel, Firefish, Bangaii Cardinal, Orchid Dottyback, Neon Goby...I would not like a royal gramma, because they got too big. Also, if I had a neon goby + another small fish would there be enough room? Thanks so much!

the cardinal would be a great choice. 24 gal may be a bit small even for a pygmy so I would not reccommend him.

1st, what size tank, and which fish do you currnetly have?
2d, how is it that the royal gramma gets too big, they are jsut as big as most you have mentioned, in length. Yet smaller in girth than some.
All that you hvae mentioned are nice fish, and I really like them, but again, what size tank and which do you currently have?

I would go with 2 smaller fish, something that stays around 1.5- 2" . Maybe a pair of cardinals or a couple of chromis.

You can get that info in my signature. My fish are only 1.5 inches long.
Thanks!

I am a big fan of both the Banggai Cardinals and the firefish gobies..........both are great community fish and do not get too large. I you are going to go with the firefish.........make sure that your eclipse top doesn't have any gaps in it for the fish to hop out of...........little jumpers.

int that case, I would say one of either the dottyback, the cardinal or the firefish, or even the neon,
BUT only of one or them
