small Clarkii for a 10g

[Soccer]

Hey all,

I was just wondering what your opinions would be on having a small Clarkii in a 10g tank. He'd be the only fish, for a while, as i might add a clown goby down the road. At my LFS they have some Sebae's which I think are actually mislabelled Clarkii's that are about 1". Just wondering what you guys think about him in a 10g. I thought it should be okay, and in 2 or 3 years when he grows i will probably be upgrading :D

Thanx for any suggestions

the clarkii will get rather large and outgrow the tank i woould say a perc or occellaris for a 10g tank

Agreed, my clarkii is almost 6". I got them as 1" babies and that was alittle over 2 years ago so they do grow semi fast.

Yes. The Clarkii will grow very quickly and get too big for your tank.
