Looking for fish ideas for my tank.

[Anonymous]

Since my fox face died I am looking for new fish ideas.

I would love a Purple tang but the tank is only a 58.

I niger trigger would be cool but affraid it will eat my inverts.

I am looking for a colorful fish with personality

In the tank now is a Six Line Wrasse and a Pecula Clown

Various small snails, hermits, Cleaner shrimp, corals.

Flame hawk! Mine loves loves to "hide" behind power cables, I wish I had a digi-cam. And they do not require a big tank. HTH

A niger is great for your tank. I have yet to see one mean old niger. Otherwise, flasher wrass are colorful, vibrant, and full of action.

Jawfish have some major personality....

Get the Niger.........but try to find one that is not shy. I found one this week...that acts like a Huma Huma. I want it.

I have a niger in my reef tank. Great fish, sort of shy but so far not aggressive in the least - primarily a planktivore so he eats mysis, krill, mash etch from the water column. He and my regal tang hang out together most of the time and he's definitely low key.

I have a pair of jawfish also - could not reccomend them for a reef tank for these reasons

1. Their building will get sand everywhere - if you have any corals on the sandbed, clams etc they will get sprayed pretty regularly.

2. They get freaked out by large , fast swimming fish - can be very shy if not kept in a species tank.

3. They jump, Really jump. Need to be kept in fort knox type tank

Other than that they are very entertaining fish - I have bluespots but you can get pearlys for about 1/4 the price and just as entertaining.

Have you thought about a dwarf (Centropyge) angel? Maybe an Eiblii, Flame or possibly even a Pygmy (Argii)?

How about an Oriole Angel? Saltwaterfish.com lists it as a 50 gal or larger fish. It's got a lot of color.

Coral Beauty I like mine, he's fun to watch, looks nice, and cheap too! :wink:

I thought of an angel.

Possibly a lemon peel angel.

I have been reading that they will nip at corals and possibly nip at a clams mantle.

I plan on getting a clam or two in the future.

If I dont get a main "bigger fish" maybe I will go with a few little ones.

neon gobies, purple dottyback or something like them,
