I've read bigger is better. Everywhere. I know that I don't want a bigger one though. I really only want ONE fish, and 2 shrimps. The fish I want? A Mandarin dragonet, I saw it from Malawian, I first thought he had edited the fish in Photoshop. Then saw it on www.jackspets.com, from Jack's Aquarium. My local Jack's ownership was turned over and is called RBC's but they still take really good care of their fish. I was in there going to buy fish for my FW tanks, and saw the Dragonet there. I wanted to cry lmao. It is SOOOOOO cute and is the most beautiful fish I've EVER seen! So I went there today to do s'more shopping, and LOW AND BEHOLD! He was still there. His old tankmate is gone, and I felt bad cause of it lol. While I was looking they have SW tank setups for $100 including everything, Filter, Skimmer, Air pump, Sand, Live rocks, fake plants (...wooohooo. -_-), lights needed for the live rocks and everything. The only bad thing is it's a 10 gallon. I really only want the Dragonet though. So this is a little rant. I wouldn't be buying him for like.... Another month? lmao. I'm trying to save money and everything. BUT! My dad may want to chip in and we COULD get a 20 gallon! So do you think a 20 gallon would be ok? I know I just ranted about a 10 gallon. So here is my question. Could I have him in a 10 gallon w/ some shrimp? Or should I just forget that, and if I'm going to just get him get the 20 gallon. Thanks!
