Hi i have a 30 gallon long ways tank and a hood cover wiht a doubble filter built into it with dule lights,,also built in. I want to start a a saltwater tank with a few fish in it. I was thinking of putting sum small grouper but i cant find a species that is small enough to fit in my tank,,,i also would like sum kind of snapper or other cool looking fish_natural looking fish tho not too colorfull i want it to have nutural color fish not too flashy,any tips on what else i need to buy for my tnak or nice fish types with my specifications in mind....i know my tnak is smakll but is it possiable to make it work..


thank you

Books

I suggest going to a book store and getting a couple of cheap books on starting up a saltie. Save a lot of head aches. A v-tail or a leopard grouper are about hte smallest at 8" to 10". I would check out the pygmy angels, some of the different sea bass, and gobies tend to have a variety of natural colorations and are commical to watch. Great Luck!
 
i read a book called The Marine Aquarium Problem Solver and it listed a couple types of groupers that only get up to 6inches, but i can't remember them. i suggest u look for that book at the library or bookstore
 
after i read your post, i did some research. here's what i found:



Anthias squamipinnis- Wreckfish
alright, so its not a grouper. but its in the same family and only grows to 5 inches

Calloplesiops altivelis- Marine Betta
probably one of the smallest groupers. only grows to 6 inches in the wild
