Red face I Need Your Opinions

Here' s the deal. I have a pair of mated clownfish in my 12 gal nano dx. I want to trade them in for different fish. Most likely a Royal Gramman and another fish that my dealer said will get along with gramma...My wife says I'm a sellout for getting rid of them for something different. What do you guys think??? I've had them for over a year. I need advice with my dilema......

lmoa. Should be a simple decision. If I had a bigger tank, they would of course stay. I don't know. I feel like I'm trading in one of my children..HAHAHA.. not even close, but you get the idea.....

I love it when some one asks for my "opinion" cause their is no wrong answer.

Good luck!!!

Get a bigger tank or you will be faced with the same question again and again. If you can't get a bigger tank go with the wife. A happy wife is a happy life!!

You have to weigh your options!
Clownfish are very easy to keep and really do not require much maintenance!
Royal Gramma's are nice, however, they can jump out of your tank and are not as hardy talking from experience.
How about another type of fish?

Talking

I'm not sure of what type of fish is best for my nano 12. I've had a 3 stripe damsel, in the past, and a blue and yellow damsel. Both taken back for the clowns.. Do you have any suggestions on a bright fish I can put in my cube? I would like to have at least 2 in it>>>>>

I'm working on finishing our basement. I'm going to put at least a 55 gallon in the wall. Hopefully bigger, in other words i'm saving up and going to get the biggest I can afford....
