Which fish to get---your thoughts?

nehsmit · 06/12/2011, 08:12 PM

Hi All,

So I'm new to the saltwater world and have been cycling my new 25 gallon tank for 10 days. While im waiting for the curing to happen, I saw my first hitchhiker tonite--i think a bristlworm. Anyway, it got me super excited and thinking, how many fish in this reef tank to be can I put in AND what unique, fun fish would I put in?

In your opinion, 1. how many fish for the 25 gallon reef aquarium, AND 2. what unique, different, interesting fish would you put in?

Also any recommendations on corals to add to the setup?

Thanks so much for all your help.

2-3 fish, here is a link to easy to care for corals:

I like to start with corals (easy to care for type) and then fish (slowly).
Clown fish, Royal Grammas, Firefish, Skunk (cleaner) shrimp all are easy to care for and reef safe fish/invertebrates.
