Fishes for 15g cube

[i cant think]

id add skunk clowns, chalk & lantern basslet, pixy hawkfish, RG basslet, hasslet's goby, prioleps goby, & sailfin blenny.

I was mainly doing a quick list of the ones that first came to my head, the Royal Gramma isn’t a nano suited fish, the ones we see at 2 inches are juveniles IME. They can easily double in size. The rest I agree with though.

The Wetmorella & Pseudocheilinops species don’t get much over 2 inches (Albofasciata can get larger, towards 3 inches). Are you sure the specimen you saw was 100% one of the “Pygmy” Wrasses and not a “Dwarf Parrot”?

I'm nearly 100% sure it was a Yellow Banded Possum Wrasse. It was marked with that name and it looked essentially identical to the photos I've seen online. I remember being pretty disappointed because I was really considering getting one, but it was just too large. It was actually the largest fish in the livestock tank it was in. It was probably ~twice as large by mass as my tailspot blenny.

Yeah, Nigropinnata is a rather large species. The downside is, that specimen is most likely to be very close to the end of its lifespan and won’t live very long in captivity (I’d assume only a few months).

Also, a pre-warning for the tail spot blenny, these guys can get to 3 inches in the long run and are a lot more active so you may find you need to rehome him from your 12G once he grows. However I’m sure you’ll have time before he reaches that 3 inch mark as these are slower growers than similar blennies such as Ecsenius lineatus.

I made a verrrry slight change of plan lol...

Sold my 15g (break even) and went with the IM 20g fusion instead

@i cant think now I gotta find out what fish options I can do in the 20gal that I couldn't do for the 15g

I think one fish is enough and a royal gramma is a good choice I have one in my 15 gallon that does well.

One fish for the whole 20gal?

Ya, at that small, your options don't really change. The extra room will of course be nice though

That's poo poo lol

I was told by some people that fishes will outgrow the 15g tank... i thought like firefish and royal gramma or dottyback ...other option a pair of clowns ..but told me it will outgrow the tank

Can only pick gobies and blennies

Is this true?

I have an orchid dotty in my 15. He'll probably outgrow the tank soon but he mainly stays in the rockwork and comes out to bully 1 specic blue leg hermit. I gotta say however I do love him

You can have a maximum of 9 fish depending on the tank dimensions and if you chose wisely.

The 20gal display dimension is 11.5" deep x 23.5" wide x 13" high
