Hi Everybody!

[HipHopOpotamus]

My name is Jai and I am new to this forum. I work at a pet store in California and specialize in reptiles. I have some experience with saltwater tanks, but not too much. I recently purchased a 10 gallon aquarium with a skimmer, heater, and filter for 50$ from a co-worker. although he has agreed to assist me in my new tank experience (he has 20+ years of experience), I would like some tips from you guys as well. I am planning to do a FOWLR. I know for sure I am getting a clown fish but I would also like one more. If you guys have any suggestions on which other fish would be best, please let me know. I will be starting the cycle tomorrow, but will post pics when fully set up.

Hi Jai and welcome to the site.:regular_w

Hello and welcome! It's cool that you have someone to help you along. In a 10 gallon tank, you are limited to 1 to 2 small fish. A pair of clowns would be great, as would a clown and a small goby. Check those guys out.

Maybe you could start out with some baby clowns and neon gobies. Then as they grow, you could up size and grow too. Dustin is right, a pair of full sized clowns will be a bit cramped and not recommended for the well being of your fish IMO.:idea:

Come on Dustin, you know it depends on how many pairs of shoes the little miss brings along. They may be able to make do just fine in a 10 gal.
