Hello all,

I have been in the hobby for about 2 years now and as many have fallen in love with my tank. I started out with a 30 gal tank and now have been running my 90 gal reef tank for a little over a year now. Currently in the tank I have one blue/green chromis (he killed off the other two), a 6 line wrasse, a pair of clownfish, a bi-colored blenny, a Kaudern's Cardinal, a flame angel, and a blue hippo tang. I am currently thinking about getting a sand sifting goby to clean up my sand bed more. If anyone has any suggestions about particular gobies that they love that would be greatly appreciated! I also would like to get two more fish for the tank, possibly a fire fish, a yellow tang or a Royal Gramma Basslet. I'm not sure that I would have room for the yellow tang but we will see. I also have one cleaner shrimp and am looking to get either another one or a different species so if anyone has had good luck keeping a cleaner shrimp and another shrimp in the same tank i'd love to hear about it.

Welcome and this site has been around for a long time. There is a wealth of knowledge here as well as great information and help. I would suggest not adding another tang to your tank because of it's size. In time the Hippo Tang may need to be re-homed as they get pretty large. The rest of the fish are fine for your tank.

Also in the photo it looks like you might have a Melanurus Wrasse and not a Sixline Wrasse. I have seen people mistake them for each other before.

dmarkham your definitely right about that, after buying it from the pet store I never even questioned that it wasn't a 6 line wrasse. Thanks gone fishin!

No prob. Pet stores are not always the experts we think they are lol. Lots of great people and info on RC.

Welcome, Carefree!
You and I have the same size tank.
Yours is gorgeous - I'm envious!
The Sleeper Stripe goby would be a good addition to your tank!

Nope. NOT in a tank that size and with your Hippo! DEFINITELY NOT! But the Royal Gramma would be fine! I have one. He's great!
