New Fish?

[snowmansnow]

ya. looking for some more fish to help my reef come alive.

Not looking for anything super expensive or "collectable" just pretty, active, friendly fish.

Here is what I have stocked so far. Tank is 120 with lots of coral.

1 Med Yellow Tang
1 Sm Lt. Tang
3 Med Blue Chromis
2 Med Clowns
1 Sm Anthia

I keep up with WC, and skim with a Bubble King Mini 200.

Any fishy suggestions? Also, where to get them. I'm a good 150 miles from much of anything, so I'll probably have to order.

Get rid of the chromis and get a trio of mckoskers or filament flasher wrasses

haha but i like the pretty blue chromis

Midas blenny?

Could maybe get a pair of wrasses then.....instead of the trio....and still keep the chromis'....10 fish in a 120 is a bit but not bad IMO...if youre on top of the WC and everything then youll be fine

How about a Neon Pseudochromis (Pseudochromis aldabraensis). They are always swimming. Beautiful fish!

A word of warning, however.. they can be aggressive to others that look like them as well as to shrimp. They will decimate your pod population...

Maybe a Trigger? I have a Niger and he seems to be doing great and being so small he does ok with a larger Damsel.

How about a couple of Chalk Basslets. They are pretty, friendly and outgoing. Also, inexpensive.

They will pick on small shrimp an they are jumpers, but otherwise, a delightful little fish!

Thinking long term...I would not add any more fish. You already have two tangs that will grow to be much bigger. Both clowns will grow to be much bigger. Anthias are a known for a high bioload. I would stop where you are or add something very small. A very cool small fish is a geometric hawkfish. It is not really of the hawkfish family but a perchlet I believe. Best of luck.

I would go with a blenny or sandsifting goby of some type. I like my lawnmower blenny and diamond goby
