Need opinions on what you all think I should get for my 10g - Aquarium Advice

Civicman86 · 10-05-2005, 12:33 AM

Well since all my fish are now gone

Its time to restock, with some eggcrate!!!!

What would you all get for a 10g tank? I think I want a clown again (have so much fun character). Anything else you all would get?

Good news is I have [acronym:2f25de577c="copepods, amphipods, etc"]pods[/acronym:2f25de577c] all over the tank and im starting to get purple coraline on stuff!

You could also try and pair some clowns, percs or ocellaris are def my favs'.. throw in some cleaner shrimp and possibly go with a pistol/goby combo!

I think a goby/pistol shrimp combo, pair of true or false percs and a peppermint shrimp would be nice.

Those are good choices and was what he had originally. Civicdude,I'm sorry you lost all your fish. In a tank so small, your options are limited. I know you know that. Check out live aquaria's nano section for fish options.

Good luck!

Civicman86 · 10-06-2005, 12:49 AM

thanks, hopefully this time around, everything will stay in the tank.

My clown will have a feast with all the [acronym:8ec6f0fbe4="copepods, amphipods, etc"]pods[/acronym:8ec6f0fbe4] in the tank right now!!!

Oh did I mention the purple coraline that is FINALLY growing!?

StripesTheEel · 10-06-2005, 01:06 AM

lucky bugger.. when i bought about 200lbs of live rock it had the best coraline i had ever seen, but i dont have enough light and now the majority of the rock is covered in green algae.. darn i wish i had more light..

Civicman86 · 10-06-2005, 09:38 AM

Yeah i thought I was in the same boat as you were. AT first all my nice rock started to become green. People said getting the purple coraline was 50/50 so I just figured my tank didnt want it. No I have noticed a few places with it poping up. I have also noticed a few new criters in the tank.
