I have seen a lot of people have success keeping ruby reds in tanks as small as 20 gallons. I was planning to stock my 20 gallon long with:
1 tailspot blenny
1 firefish
1 royal gramma
1 Red ruby dragonet
I know they are smaller than mandarins and will accept frozen easier than mandarins. The only thing I'm worried about is I don't have a fuge and I don't think ill ever be able to set one up. I have a Hang on filter. My tank is pretty well established (7 months old). I'm planning to dose phyto and pods the next few months while I introduce the other fish. Do you think if I add pods and supplement with frozen I could have success with a ruby red in a tank as small as 20 gallons with no fuge? I have seen other people have sucess and my lfs said its possible. So, what are your thoughts?
