I really like my scissortail gobies they are colorfull, and the small fairy wrasses might do ok in your newer larger tank, although 45g is still pretty small for some of these fishies. Do you have any LFS in calgary that quarantine their livestock for 2 weeks? I have never gotten a single disease or death from any fish I have gotten from a LFS here in Edmonton that does that. |

He is looking for fish suggestions not critisisms. Telling him you are not surprised his fish died is not being helpfull. It would be more helpfull to provide some advice on some more suitable colorfull, hardy fish. |

![]() Here is what I have in my 30 gallon cube and it may seem like allot of fish,
2 Green Chromis 1 flame angel 1 Marine Betta 1 Cinnamon clown In my 33 gallon sump I have 2 false percula clowns and two saddle back clowns a mandarin fish and a small blue stripe goby. All of these fish are small except for the Betta and flame angel. I am sorry for your loss, Flame angels are nice fish. This is my second one and I have had this one for two years. I have heard that some of these fish are cyanide caught and come from some great depths in the ocean causing them to live a short life . My first Flame died within two weeks, it had no visible lesions or ich ![]() Hope you find a healthy fish for your setup

![]() Maybe a flame hawk or pygmy angel would be neat. Or you could upgrade a little bigger and possibly get a small yellow tang.

![]() Small lyretail anthias would do fine, but they would outgrow the tank eventually.

![]() You can keep some single Anthias in a 25 gallon tank depending on the species . Here is a link to some Anthias descriptions if anyone is interested.

![]() A Six Line wrasse is a good nano fish. Relatively small, colorful, hardy and active. As long it is the last or one of the last fish you add it should be fine.
I agree with Murray on the Anthias though. May not be an ideal tank size for them. Also their feeding requirements dirty up the water pretty quick...

![]() The way I see it is 1 inch of fish per five gals. 2 percs, ywg and a lmb already maxes out the new tank. The 20 is already overstocked and the flame probably died of an ammonia spike.

![]() I really like the 6 line wrasses and Royal Gramma's.
I always thought that 6 lines were really wimpy fish.. I just want something tough that if it gets a couple ick spots its not completely doomed... Thank you all for the ick info. I will have to seriously consider leaving my tank fallow for 6 weeks. I mean.. if it rids me of ick, then GOOD.. it gives me better chances of success with fish. I just may be able to use my current 20g as a QT. The weird thing is though...... All current fish in the tank have no ick whatsoever.. not a single spot... that inclues: 1 YWG, 1 Lawnmower Blenny and 2 True Percula clowns Anyways, thanks again guys.. I have some thinking to do.
