I hated dwarf angels because they always nipped on my corals, but my latest angel has made me reconsider my hate If you want to gamble a bit, try one.

If you feed often, a few Anthias would be nice. Or a harem of small flasher wrasses if your tank is covered (I forget )

In the 30 I have a 4 line wrasse, a royal gramma and one purple fire fish that get along and give some nice contrasting colors. Of course I have to thave a fish fence around the edges though. I believe you have a three sided canopy. I would recommend some loosely applied gutter guard along the back regardless of the species of fish you buy.

hmm i think blue and green chromis fish are under rated.. look nice i think

and i like the anthia idea.. do they not need a lot of swimming room???

Small anthias will be fine. Anthias are active swimmers but they can do well in limited space; they rarely do fast bursts but rather mope around at a leisurely pace.

so now the question.. how much "fissage" can i afford in my cube? I have about 70g of total water volume and run a octopus recirc 150 rated for around 180g. Can I have a fairly moderate load?

Cheap, hardy, and a lot of personalty bang for the buck - Falco Hawkfish.

I have a midas blenny in my 60, he is a nice active fish. They do need to feed often.

I just got a Lubbock's Fairy Wrasse - very colorful and active.
