A few good fish

[goma]

Seems many of my fish like to hide in the rocks and don't show themselves much at all.

What are some good fish that are peaceful, get along well with others, appropriately sized for the RSM 250 and also spend most of their time out swimming in the open water out front?

My Ocellaris clownfish are always out and up front get along with all the fish too

Thanks guys

I have a clownfish and he tends to hide in the rocks....

I also had a six line for two years and then he got very aggressive....

Any other ideas?

Yellow tang, mandarin?

+1 To Kevin, Tangs and Mandarins are both great

Clown gobies, hawkfish (both semi hidden with the way they perch, but still very visible and colourful!), dwarf angels, cardinal fish or some anthias?

my firefish spend most of their time swimming at the front of the tank - although they can get spooked easily by sudden movements and dart under their favourite spot. Very cowardly timid little fellas. +1 on the clowns - these guys never hide!

Thanks for all the inputs!! Now to start doing some research!

Any of these fish are good for the RSM250....


Yellow Tang (Zebrasoma flavescens)
Chevron Tang (Ctenochaetus hawaiiensis)
Strawberry Dottyback (Pseudochromis porphyreus)
Six line wrass (Pseudocheilinus hexataenia)
Blue Chromis (Chromis viridis)
Lyretail Anthias (Pseudanthias squamipinnis)
Flame Hawk Fish (Neocirrhitus armatus)
Yellowstripe Maroon Clownfish (Premnas biaculeatus)
Linear Blenny (Ecsenius lineatus)
Flame Angelfish (Centropyge loriculus)

Hope this helps

I love Chomis, Blue Reef Chromis are lovely fish, 5 in a small shoal are a pleasure to watch

I think I'll try a flame angel again

Banggai cardinalfish also a good choice and it's not a nervous fish and you can have a couple.
