I definitely like bright colors like orange red green blue purple. I definitely want to see the fish out swimming around not hiding all day but I am interested in maybe a goby to clean up the sand also. Let me mention this is my first tank so I’m new to the hobby and still learning.What are your favorite colors? Interested in movement, perching, utilitarian, or hole dwelling?
Now I was gonna do the goby and pistol shrimp what is a cool looking goby that would pair with the pistol shrimp that would help out in the tankA royal gramma basslet would be a good choice ane possibly a shrimp goby and pistol shrimp pair
Yeah I was definitely thinking about that oneMy favorite isn't super crazy looking but is the brightest yellow fish I've ever had. The yellow watchman goby.
Now would I be able to put some kind of tang in there of any kindfind whichever you like best from the goby, blennie and basslet families. Always nice like you mentioned to have the fish serve a purpose as well as being visually appealing. Be picky and dont rush because you dont get many fish in that small of tank
No tang would be happy in a 32 gallon tank long term or even really short term as a young fishNow would I be able to put some kind of tang in there of any kind
Now I’ve heard some wrasses are super aggressive is that one aggressive at all?I wouldn't recommend a Tang in that size. However, I have a Hooded Flame Fairy Wrasse and he's super colorful! That would work in your tank.
Yeah that one looks pretty cool but what do you mean keep an eye out for repetitive behaviorsYeah a few of the smaller fairy wrasse would probably be okay in a 32 gallon, but keep an eye out for repetitive behaviors due to tank size. They have that same active movement you get in a lot of tangs. If you wanted a wrasse that would definitely be okay I'd suggest a pink streak wrasse.
Gotcha well thanks for the input and anything else you’d recommend?Mine hasn't been but there is always a chance any fish could be.
When fish are stressed or in undersized aquariums they will form sort of repetitive stress patterns. Sometimes things like swimming loops into one of the glass walls for hours on end our just circling a powerhead. It happens more often if an aquarium is at or just below their size requirementsYeah that one looks pretty cool but what do you mean keep an eye out for repetitive behaviors
Also the smaller the tank the more likely there may be aggression issues even for relatively peaceful fish like fairy wrasse. Just keep that in mind. A lot of adding fish isn't an exact science and fish temperaments can vary from fish to fishGotcha well thanks for the input and anything else you’d recommend?
Whatever you want! Of course you will want to do some research on how big a tank, reef safe or not, and compatibility but other than that it's up to you! I am still working on my plan to get all the different colors, but you could also aim for fish with different shapes, etc.Gotcha well thanks for the input and anything else you’d recommend?
