I wouldn’t . Smallest I’d put one in would be a 30, and only for the smallest like a Cherub. Just need too much swimming space due to how active they are.

I ”could live” for a little while. Just not happily. Just don’t .

what fishes could live in a 15 gallon for around a year

Why take a chance? Wait till you have a proper tank.

Why not get a Biota captive bred ( they’re tiny) you’ll be able to keep an eye on it! I’d suggest Multifasciatus.

Small gobies, basslets, a cardinalfish, possum wrasse, pink stripe wrasse

I have a bigger tank I just want my small tank to have some colour and nice algae cleaners

A tang just died on unknown causes in that tank - I wouldn’t be thinking about others at all.

I do not have sand so wrasses are out of the question I have gravel

 

[tanglover13]

The cause I think was him not eating he barely ate he ate like once a week

 

[tanglover13]

And my water is fine and I am dosing my tank with copper when that is finished that’s when the new fish will be added

Not all wrasses need a sand bed

 

[tanglover13]

The dwarf Angel in the lfs Is tiny he is under an inch

 

[tanglover13]

Which wrasses can live in gravel

 

[albano]

Fairies and flashers

 

[steveschuerger]

Kinda sounds like you’ve already sold yourself on the dwarf angel idea. So why’d you ask?

 

[tanglover13]

Can those wrasses live in a 15 for a year if they get stressed I will move them to the 200
