Which fish to round out my stocking?

hawk1 · 02/24/2014, 11:36 PM

Tank info:
38 gallon
40 lbs of live rock
40 lbs of live sand
Protein Skimmer Reef Octopus BH100
Jebao wp 25 wave maker/power head
Hydor Koralia 600 power head
Eheim 2215 running one blue sponge, and bag of Chemi Pure Elite
4 bulb t5 with ATI bulbs
PH 8.3
Salinity 1.025
Ammonia, Nitrites, Nitrates All 0

Tank is set up as a soft coral tank, I have Zoas, Palys, Mushrooms, Xenia, GSP. Will be adding more down the road, maybe a leather of some sort. Current live stock is 2 Purple Firefish, 1 Pink Spotted Watchman Goby, and the CUC. I was thinking I could add 2 more fish, for a total of 5. I think that seems like a good number for my size tank, unless I could more then that in? My choices for which fish I would like to add are, Ocellaris Clownfish, Royal Gramma, Sixline Wrasse. Which ones would go well with my current set up, or if anyone has any suggestions please list them. Thanks

The sixline might turn into a bully especially in that size tank. You'd most likely be ok with adding the clown and the gramma.

Personally I think every reef tank should have clowns

Yep, I'm with you. A pair of clowns would be a great addition.

Yeah, I love clowns. If I add a pair could I still fit the gramma? Or just 1 clown and gramma? Trying to add alot of color, and I really do like the purple/yellow of grammas.

Only negative on your list would be the sixline. They get mean. I prefer for looks and disposition a fairy or flasher wrasse.

I would axe the six line wrasse and add another clown as well as a goby/shrimp pair. You might like the yellow watchman goby's bright color.
