Need Fish Ideas

moovinfast · 01/01/2010, 02:37 PM

We received a gift certificate from the holidays and we are thinking of adding 2 new fish or a clam and a fish. But we would like some ideas for fish. We were thinking of adding one new fish to each of our 2 tanks. Must be reef safe and prefer not too aggressive. Was thinking of maybe adding a jawfish, but not set on one yet.

Tank 1 is a 72 gallon with:
120+ lbs of LR
3" of sand
snails
Hermits
porcelain crab
carpet anemone
soft/lps/sps corals
1 coral beauty
2 Chrommies
2 small false percs
1 Jewel Blenny
1 skunk cleaner fish

Tank 2 is a 25 gallon cube with:
30+ lbs of Live rock
2" of sand
snails
hermits
softies and sps
Long tent anemone
RBTA
2 skunk clownfish
1 tail spot blenny
1 fire shrimp

How about a sixline wrasse or maybe a clown or watchman goby.

Don't get a sixline, they get mean. How about a fang blenny like a forktail, stripped, or canary for the 75 gallon (if the tank is covered cause they sometimes jump) and a Hector's or Rainford goby for the 25.

Four line (aka ten line) wrasse is much less aggressive, and more attractive in my opinion. Probably better in tank 1, away from the shrimp.
