    Dwarf golden eels need a 30-40 gallon tank

    Actually I thought you were talking about Gymnothorax miliaris, I think those aren't that big:)

    So where exactly is the list?

    I'm looking for a colorful and active fish that is reef safe, will swim mid water column, and is appropriate for a 40g breeder. It must be fairly small so that the bioload is not greatly affected, and it must not be prone to jumping from an open top.

    Fish that will not work for me:
    Firetails
    Basslets
    Grammas
    Clowns

    Thanks

    not sure if it's been mentioned, but

    Cat Shark, Black Banded (Chiloscyllium punctatum)

    said to be in the 180gal + group.

    IMO all sharks and rays should be placed in the 360 gallon+ section

    The complete list can be seen on page 1, post 1 of this thread.

    JJL hasn't updated this list to reflect new posts in nearly 8 months and he hasn't been active since April.
