Show piece for 32 gallon

Big_Mclargehuge · Sep 22, 2020

Hey. I currently have a pair of clown fish and a pair of gobies. I am looking for my last fish. I want it to be more of a show piece fish. I love the Pygmy Angel but I know even though it's tiny a 32 gallon isn't big enough. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Probably some firefish, normally there out and about plus ORA breeds some great ones. I know its weird but the problem with our Nano or small tanks is livestock choice. An angel is awesome but like you said....tanks not big enough and that's good that your keeping that in consideration. Maybe a Mandarin Goby but idk how it would do with your other gobies and with how established it is for copepods. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will comment soon! good luck!!!

Budget? There are some spectacular basslets that could be a great center piece fish.

Budget is fairly open. I'll look one up and see what i'm dealing with. Thanks!

Well if your budget is open Lipogramma evides is probably my favorite. Candy basslets are gorgeous. Gramma linki are quite uncommon. There are Cuban basslets readily available captive bred.
