Stocklist 30gallon

so heres what i was thinking

2x blue flasher wrasse

1x red head goby

1x hector's goby

1x pajama cardinalfish

1x blue bar dottyback

3x mollies

1x ocellaris clownfish

what do you think?

Not a big fan of the mollies and I find the PJs a little ugly when they mature.

Love the redhead and the flasher though.

You can keep mollies in FW what's the point??? I'm hoping this doesn't make me a SW snob but the whole appeal to SW is to be able to keep better fish I would say swap out the mollies for blue/green or yellow chromis, another clown, or get some sort of coral. Just my 2 cents and hope I don't offend any molly lovers....LOL Do you have the tank now?

well the colors seem to be nice. don't waste the space by putting in mollies. be careful of the wrasse they are jumpers. i just got a jl order in tonight and i have a hectors goby on it so i'll see what hes like come morning red head goby i think is a sand sifter. good fish to have. pj well its a pj think they do better if you have 2. the clown 1 is good 2 is nice. small tank so when your hands in there they will be all over it..ouchh and the dotty back may become very territorial in a smaller tank. but give it a shot and see you might just get lucky and the fish may work out well..

i was thinking of keeping the mollies so that they can breed and for everything else to eat the babies as a "natural" food source... if all goes well. i still don't know weather i should get a pj or a Banggai, the 30 will have a hood that i made so i should be fine on the jumping front.

Satellite - i need to see pics exactly where i was going to order mine from

Shayneh - no the tank isn't set up yet, i need to free up a little money first i am getting back my old tank which will help tremendously

Banggais over PJs any day for me!

anyone think the molly idea will work? would they still spawn in saltwater, i've read other threads saying they will but i have my doubts

i didn't get any picts of the new stock. the hector goby is like 1-2" long. nice colors for a little fish

Again my thoughts are use the space you have for something the F.W. people can't have. Two or three mollies won't spit out enough live food to make it worthwhile. Plus live food like that may come with a whole other set of issues. Set up a refug if you want lots of live food. And I agree Banghaii over Pj's any two days of the week...

i know the mollies won't reproduce enough to make a enough babies to call it a food source... more like a treat , plus its the only way i can get live saltwater feeder fish around here, if i change my mind im sure they wont be too hard to get rid of ... and i am going to have a fug

as for the cardinalfish... i think im going to try and get some orange stripe cardinals, they are more colorful
