jason7504 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 i have a 10g saltwater tank set up and its almost done cycling..there's nothing really in it. it has a 65w PC light over it, heater and power filter. i dont want anything that requires too much maintenance and thats not too messy of an eater since i wont have a skimmer. what are some fish/inverts that would be cool/unique to keep that could live happily in a 10g?

Krux Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Low maintenance, nano, and skimmer free don't generally go together well, but that doesn't mean it can't be done. You should expect to do a lot of water changes and be up on your water quality testing. In that small of a tank I would personally avoid anything that feeds of of live foods, as things like pods can be quickly wiped out in that small of a volume. I would stick to 1 or 2 small fish (starting small, and staying small) like perc or oci clowns, watchman gobies, neon gobies, etc and then a shrimp for character. Stay on the inexpensive side, as your learning curve on the smaller system will probably bring along some mortality in the beginning... adding a mated pair of nigripes clowns and some harlequin shrimp for example would probably be a bad idea. Go sloooow. Alternately keep it as a QT and add a margin of safety to your other thank. Not as exciting admittedly, but in the long run maybe a better idea?
