what fish would you put in a biocube?

[MC.Arowana]

so i have a 14 gal salt biocube and i need help choosing fish and coral too what would you put and please list at bottom and if i can see if my lfs sells it ill probably go with one that pops up the most

I'll re-post what I recommended before; maybe that will help to start some form of useful conversation (suggestions with links in yellow):

For starters, I'd get a goby that forms a symbiotic relationship with a pistol shrimp; maybe a yellow prawn goby and a snapping shrimp. Those two will give you an interesting set of nano bottom dwellers. I'd also get a firefish to add some action to the middle to top areas of the aquarium. You might be able to add one more fish, but that's pretty much it; you have to really limit yourself to small peaceful fishes in an aquarium that size. Also, your LFS should be able to order in those fishes for you no trouble at all, so I wouldn't worry about ordering them online (unless you want to go that route).

Something like this yellow clown goby would fit the bill nicely; they're pretty small and are peaceful and colorful. You're looking at mostly gobies and other small fishes when it comes to stocking a nano aquarium; I'd avoid overstocking since you want corals, too.

thanks man im just trying to see what is available before i buy any fish and coral and narrow it down and buy it

there are a number of gobies that can be happy in a 14, neon, clown gobys (not clownfish) for example

I like the pygmy wrasse, it would do well in a 14 gallon.

I would go with a clownfish or two, theyre cool, some gobys are good looking but I feel like theyre pretty boring being bottom dwellers

my dad came home with a brown bird wrasse and a cleaner wrasse and idk if they are good or bad because i just got some green mushrooms and boy they look nice and i will get mad if they mess it up lol

 

[Kevin8888]

B "brown" bird wrasse is just a female bird wrasse... and its a bummer that he got these fish for a 14 gal... considering the bird wrasse gets to 11" and it's recomended aquarium size is 125 gallons, as for the cleaner, her only gets to 5.5" but is recomended for a 50gal.

so can they be with the corals or not??
