Fish recommended for 30 gallon?

phil954 · 03/21/2018, 09:10 PM

I’m not a newbie but it’s been a year since I came here. Was trying to remember the site someone told me about that shows good fish recommendations for specific tank sizes. Anyone have suggestions?

Phil, below is a nice chart for reference. Also, ..most of the well run and well respected online fish sites do a reasonable job outlining compatibility etc. Here are a few of my go to places second only to my LFS.

I have the same problem. Have a 36" wide 30 gallon. 25lbs live rock and some coral frags balanced on the rocks. 2 ocellaris 3 months ago and a recently introduced Yellow Watchman. All seem to be doing great (knock on wood). Just use a Fluval 206 canister, seems to be fine, been doing weekly 5 gallon changes. Was thinking of adding a Helfrich, some kind of useful colorful blenny and maybe a McCoskey. Shied against a 6-line and a grama because was warned of bad behavior from them given the size of my tank.
