advice needed !!

new-2-the-reef · 12-27-2007, 03:34 PM

I need help with picking the last fish for my tank (55 gallon)

already I have 2 clowns (ocellaris) 1 firefish goby 1 yellow watchmen goby and just recently added a royal gramma...

next month or later? I want to add just one more to the tank but Im very undecided and would like some opinions to help me make the right choice..

My heart wants a six line wrasse but I am open for any suggestions at all

thanks Clint.

How about a bicolor blenny?

I know I keep saying this but my midas blenney has become one of my favorite fish.

It seems you have several smallish fish and need to round out the managerie with a "show fish". For your size tank I think a wrass of some kind would do well, but the 6line doesn't have the "pop" I would like although they are very interresting fish. One of the fairy or flasher wrasses would be my choice. Those seem to have beautifully bright colors that get the oohs and aahs.

Blue Spot Jawfish!

How did I now that Scott would say Blue Spot Jawfish?

I like the flasher wrasse idea too. Just make sure you have eggcrate for the top of the tank. They are known to jump.
