Jawfish. I love 'em. Don't have any in my tank at the moment, but what can I say, I love the little guys.

Larah · 02/10/2008, 12:08 AM

I also love my scooter blenny....
though I wouldn't suggest him until your tank is mature..
i really shouldn't have goten mine yet... though I didn't know that at the time.. Still no excuse, I suck

I don't have a jawfish but I agree that they are cool. I like my mystery wrasse.

phunkie99 · 02/10/2008, 12:12 AM

well my tank is a little over 6 months old I have over 10 types of coral but my clowns need some buddies to swim with

african flameback angel
flame hawk
longnose hawk
6line wrasse
small snowflake eels are cool but prob wouldnt do good in ur tank when he grows, may eat ur fish

Hawaiian Flame Angel but they are not always reef safe.

If you buy the fish while your tank is fish only and add your corals slowly he wont nip them.

I think orchid dottybacks are gorgeous... my fav fish so far.

currentking · 02/10/2008, 04:13 AM

I second for mystery wrasse. Any type of reef safe wrasse is sweet. Psychadellic wrasse is also one of my favorites. 6 lines are great but are bastard children that have little man syndrome. They love to pick fights with fish added after them.

I vote for Jawfish. 2 are much more entertaining than 1 as they steal each others rubble around their caves. Very fun fish if you have the substrate and strategicly placed rock on the tank bottom.

_E_ · 02/10/2008, 05:17 AM

Any kind of blenny. They have a ton of personality.
