recommend some green fish

[fungia]

i like to have a rainbow of colors in my 100 gallon and i notice i dont have any green fish. there doesnt seem to be very many green reef fish, any recommendations?

That's difficult because they've all been eaten. Green is a very popular color with predators. That being said, aren't there some captive-bred green gobies out there? I've got a photo of 'em on my computer, can't remember where I got it from, though... Gobiosoma multifasciatum, IIRC.

Green chromis, but they can be as nasty as damsels, them close cousins.

get a mandarin...

they are fairly hard to care for if you don't know what you're doing though.

(blinks) I never noticed before, there aren't many green fish that come to mind. How about Springeri Pseudochromis? They are available tank raised and some are more greeny/turquiose than blue.

Wow, they do vary a bit in color, don't they? All the ones I had every seen were blue/purple.

I would think a trio of green chromis would look good.

Cool fish, but not green. It's pink and blue.

I just got a 4 line wrasse which is more on the green side. Kind of like this: http://www.aquacon.com/images/fourlinewrasse.jpg

They do tend to be rare though.

I cannot, in good conscience recommend a lady bird wrasse, those are greenISH (super males, anyway).

Maybe a single male Hutchi Anthias?

I have 3 fluorescent lights in my tank and in the hotter months the water temperature is around 30 degrees C. What would be the cheapest way to cool it to around 24, 25 degrees?

Halichoeres chloropterus gets about 6" long. Should be kept with a sandbed, and it's a jumper. Super peaceful, may eat very small shrimp, bristleworms, amphipods. The adults get pink towards the head.

This fish is sometimes sold as the "Green Coris", but it is NOT a Coris wrasse.

I wouldn't go with the Bird Wrasse. They're pretty nasty fish. I think the Green Chromis are an excellent idea. They're peaceful, they school, they're small, easy to keep, and very inexpensive.

i agree with everything but the peaceful part. i started out with six, now down to three. for the most part they are passive, but remember they are very closely related to damsels and can get quite a temper.
