What Kind Of Fish Should I Put In My 12 (s.w.) Gallon Tank?

Question

Right now in my 24 gallon tank i have tomato clowns, gobies, pipe fish, and dotty backs. so im looking for some thing new
thanks ~~~!

Answer 1

You would actually be better off moving the pipefish to the 12 gallon. Pipes are slower and much less aggressive than the clowns and dottyback, and will have a hard time getting enough food with them in the same tank. Maybe move one of your clown gobies there as well. You really shouldn't keep fish from the same family in the same tank. Then you could find one fish to put back into the 24 gallon. I think you might have trouble from your purple dottyback, though - these can be feisty little fish and will pick on fish larger than they are. You might want to think about a dwarf angelfish or longnose hawkfish.

Answer 2

Good for thinking about dimensions.. The 55 is awkward but the 65 will have the dimesions you want (wider) A 46 gallon bow is good as you can stack the live rock and still have room upfront (16 inch width) Corner tanks are super cool aswell because you can stack the live rock in the back corner and have tons of space up front. Breeders might be too shallow and work with the light awkwardly that's needed to grow proper corals and heat the tank too much? Rarley seen them used must be a reason Good Luck Bud!!!

Answer 3

I would have to ask how old is the tank and how many clowns do you have? When you say pipe fish do you mean a seahorse pipe? If that is the case, nothing aggressive can go into the tank. (no other damsels like your clowns) Perhaps a hawk fish since they are fairly calm, however they are more bottom dwellers as well. One sweetlip would be a nice addition however if you don't have a mature tank, they won't work either.

Before you can get a good answer you need to know how old the tank is.
