Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I have a 30-gallon high (24x12x24) system that's been running as freshwater for some time now, and I've decided to make the move to saltwater. The problem is, I've been spoiled--I've been keeping African cichlids, and I'm completely stuck on fish with a lot of personality. So far as I know, most of the 'lively' saltwater fishes tend to be rather large--puffers, triggers, and the like.
The LFS recommended to me a single smaller trigger, perhaps Rhinecanthus aculeatus, but I'm uncertain of this as most things I've read say they need at least a 55 and preferably something larger. However, I'm not at all averse to having a one-fish tank.
So--give me all your hardy, mean FOWLR recs for a 30.
I wish I could have a bigger tank--it's not money that's the issue, but space. Oh, the sorrows of apartment life.
