I am 10 years old and just got a 10 gallon tank. I got live rock from MvM and it is amazing rock.

I'm wondering if I can put in 2 fire fish in my 10 gallon reef tank along with a urchin.:new:

I also want a clown fish and a Pajama Cardnal in my 10 gallon tank.

4 fish in a 10 g may be pushing it.What kind of filtration are you running and how long has the tank been running?

If you get the clown to host a spot, you could probably put in one clown, one firefish, and one cardinal. My firefish stay within a 10" section of the tank up front, unless it's feeding time.

What kind of lighting do you have? If you're not planning on any corals, you could put in a pencil urchin or something. If you are planning corals you could go with a tuxedo urchin.


BTW, Geaux Saints!

I have two fire fish and only one really shows his self the other hides in the cave unless it's feeding time, then they both go nuts.

Here is a link to what it looks like currently.

I just set it up this weekend and it needs to cycle. I'm just planning right now. My filtration is a HOB filter. I'm planning on a tuxedo urchin already! I have T5 lighting and will have corals.

War Eagle! Go Saints

I'm running an Aqua Clear 50 on mine with purigen, carbon, and the bio stuff. I also plumbed a 2.5g fuge on to the back. works great. though I think my nitrates(on an API test kit) are a little high but everything is fine, so I think it is off a little.

i had a firefish once. Dang thing never came out, so I took it back to the LFS store. Try trying to catch a fish that never comes out, but if theres one thing out there I can out smart, its a fish..haha

hey i think the fire fish is cool but i have heard they arnt the best

Lets not forget that some of your water volume will be taken up by the rock and some more if you put in sand so you will not have a true 10 gallons of water in the tank.

I would only put 2 or 3 fish in the tank and I would make sure that they are kinda small and don't move around all day.

Thinking something like a clown goby, bi-color blenny, fire fish, a cardinal maybe.

10 years old with your first saltwater tank, sweet.
Look up a rainfordi goby, clown goby and I think you might be able to a couple more fish that will stay under 2.5 inches. Good luck and just go slow.

I'll tell you what would be sweet.....

A goby and pistol shrimp!

Live Aquaria has a section under marine fish just for nano fish. That would let you look at pictures of all the fish that would be appropriate.

+11 for goby and pistol!

doh +1 obviously

I had two fire fish before one disappeared mysteriously. they were always out swimming around. only ate frozen foods but thats ok. also had a dragon goby in there, juvi, and he was active. now i have a 40 breeder with a shrimp and one fire fish, kinda sucks but what can ya do when your broke.

hey i have some frozen fish food for your fire fish i will give you them for free

thouch my lax stick ........... kick your wrasse out of town!!!!!!!!!!!
