blackghost Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Hi Bros, I have a 2ft FOWLR tank. Currently it holds a Black Neon Damselfish, Yellow Wrasse. I'm thinking of getting a fish that is bigger then these fishes. Thinking of somewhere along the lines of Tangs or Dwarf Angelfishes? Got any recommendation? Hopefully can get below $10 range too.. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solo77 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 maybe can consider small clown tang....lol........they are small but can grow very big....however, if they manage to survive in your small tank and rwill egulate yr feeding, might be able to keep it small....came across a reefer keeping black tang in 4 or 5 ft tank for ard year and the size is still only ard 2.5 to 3 inche.... sighz....my purple went opposite....getting bigger for my tank..... anyway, do listen to snr reefers' advice.
