want to help me pick a new fish?

shinny · 01/04/2007, 05:56 PM

I am in the market for a new fish or a couple(small ones). I would like a colorful interesting fish that would not be shy. I think red or orange would be cool. I have a yellow tang- 4", clarkii clown, blue damsel, royal gamma, engineer globies- 2 of them. The fish is for a 70 gal. reef tank. Thanks for the responses.

I wouldn't do a Flame Angel if you value your corals more than your fish. They sometimes nip at corals, it depends on the specimen. I second the fairy wrasse, or you could get a pair of Assessors or a Comet (not red or orange, but still nice)
