fish recomendations

jdbassin · 06/06/2006, 01:04 PM

in my 56 column I have a strawberry pseudochromis, a lawnmower blenny, an occelaris clown and a yellow tang, What would be a good colorful tank mate for them??? just looking to add 1 more fish with good color.

I just purchased a royal gamma. Nice looking fish, IMO

One of the dwarf angels ( bicolor, flame, coral beauty....) Flame would be my pick. I have a bicolor in my 40 gallon and it is a little too skittish. The flames I have seen are very outgoing active fish.

I have a Potter's Pigmy Angel. It's like a Coral Beauty with racing stripes. ;-)

i've heard that the angels are a crap shoot on whether or not they'll pick at my corals, how's your experience been???

How about a 6 line wrasse? They are beautiful and cheap!

It sounds like a green fish would be a good addition to the colors you already have; what about a p.j. cardinal, or mandarinfish? A small school of green chromis would look nice, too.

blenny also good for sand sifting

jdbassin · 06/06/2006, 07:05 PM

was considering a six line, A couple of green or blue chromis might just be the ticket for a fish that stays higher in the water couumn, Thanks, keep'em coming

Wow my Bicolor Blenny hasn't touch anything. I guess it depends on the personality. I find them reef safe.

my bicolor angel eats xenia. I don't have a bicolor blenny.
