Zach's 20 gal long build

[Gregcoyote]

Any of these are good.
Not many things have that body shape that doesn't grow too large for your current setup.

IF (big if) i were to get a dwarf angel, which would be the safest in a 20 long

 

[jsmith]

Others may agree ir disagree dwarf angels are great for fish only tanks and @ 20 gallons I don't think there's any u can't..

 

[zacheyp]

what are some opinions on how many fish i could get and ones with the same body type as an angel or tang

I think this was answered multiple times in another thread of yours.

NONE.

 

[coffeetwitch]

the easiest solution would be to let your rock continue to cycle in this tank and look for a bigger one.

 

[zacheyp]

i would love a bigger tank and will get 1 1 day but there are 2 problems
1 dont have funds
2 this is my first sw build and i want ton start small
IYO how many fish can i get and are there any with the same body type as an angel or tang

 

[coffeetwitch]

i do not know of any body types like the angels or tangs. on a plus side you your planing on starting small so just enjoy the smaller tank and appropriate fish. like most of us, knowing what you want or finding what you want becomes a goal to work toward.

 

[zacheyp]

i am thinking 6 fish

 

[redsea]

If you do decide to go with 6 fish, just make sure you have great equipment, and do frequent water changes. You will be ready to stock in no time!

 

[zacheyp]

if you could choose 6 fish, which would u choose

 

[carey]

My fish list would be:

2 clowns, any two just not maroon ones
1 Goby, maybe a Citron or a yellow clown goby
1 Blenny, tailspot or twin spot
1 Pajama Cardinal
1 Firefish

 

[coffeetwitch]

i saw a twin spot blenny today... very neat fish.

 

[redsea]

I like the list above also in addition to mine.
Here is a really nice Firefish! A little pricey though.

Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Firefish, Helfrichi

 

[zacheyp]

Can't get the 2 spot
According to live aqueria I don't meet it's requirements

 

[Gregcoyote]

Firefish are great for smaller, or larger reefs. They don't mix types very well. My purple firefish beat the daylights out of the smaller common firefish.

Did you add them at the same time? Just wondering because someday I might want to do it if it is possible.

 

[Gregcoyote]

No, the purple firefish was added last.

 

[redsea]

No, the purple firefish was added last.

Ok, sounds like they are pretty aggressive fish with their own kind.

 

[zacheyp]
