Needing Some Fish Suggestions

Mrramsey · 12/31/2014, 12:04 PM

Greetings all~

I am looking to add to my livestock. Current stock consists of 2 occelarious clowns, 1 yellow tang, 3 GBTA's, 2 emerald crabs, 25ish snails. Looking for some additional reef safe fish with some good colors.

Considering these species (but not at once. I really only want about 3-4 more fish in total):
One Spot Foxface
Copperband Butterfly (on the fence on this one)
Bi-Color Blenny
Flame Hawkfish

Bangaai Cardinals (if they eat) or Pajamas are good.
Copperband is good but very picky eaters. Hit or miss.
How about Citrus goby (clown goby)? That is a small cute fish.

fairy wrasses are a good choice

Ya the copperband is a great looking fish but special foods are the only downer for me. The goby might be a good one to check out. The only thing about the cardinals I don't really like, at least the ones I have seen, is that they just seem to hang out. I like swimmers.

Aren't wrasses known to be jumpers? I run my tank open top and it is not real conducive to add netting on top due to equipment.

id go against the copper band, they're so finicky and need special care.
