I'm partial to firefish and royal gramma's myself. They're great little fish for beginner's. Bump on over to www.liveaquaria.com and check out the "Fish for Beginner's" section for some more good idea's.

Clowns, basslets, chromis, wrasses, gobies, blennies, cardinals.

You might even keep room for more difficult fish to keep later on down the road...

Wow there are so many great specimens to chose from. I found it better to figure out all your stock before adding any. This helps with stress on the fish. Always add least aggresive fish first. But substrate cleaners and algea feeders are great idea. GL
