Last fish for 30 Long

[EvanDeVita]

Hi all,
I'm finishing off the stocking on my 30 gallon long, and I noticed I am missing one kind of fish: Perchers. Can you guys recommend some fish that stay small enough for my tank and are perchers?

Bicolor blenny

Agree with @Wolf89 , bicolor blennies are great.

Maybe a hawkfish
What is the current stock of your tank?

 

[Ameer214]

Flame hawks are nice, but a bit predatory on the shrimp

Aren’t they hard to add as a late addition?

Personally, I think your tank is full

Six line wrasse are my fav fish for nanos

 

[40g Nano]

He already has a leopard and Naoko, and they will eventually need a bigger tank

Yep. I can only do nano

I wouldnt get a six line, but maybe a hawk

Clown gobies. I really like the citron, and will be in any tank I ever own.

But I would have to agree with above, that your pretty well stocked already.

Hmm. Can anyone tell me more about yellow and citron clown gobys?

They are small
Easy to care for
Peaceful

Only problem with them, their life expectancy is only 2 to 4 years.
