Fish for beginners

Working on something I think could be a very helpful article on ReefPedia. If you have any suggestions of fish for beginners and why, please take a moment to add them here

Fish For Beginners

Or you can reply to this thread and I'll paste them in there.

TIA!!

Here is one:

Six Line Wrasse.

This curious wrasse is colorful and fun to watch. They are easy to keep and will accept most foods.Great addition to a reef tank or a small fish tank.

Cardinal Fish:

A popular fish for non-aggressive or reef tanks. The Cardinals enjoy having lots of cliffs and overhangs to feel secure in their surroundings. Many hobbiest have been successful in breeding them in captivity.

well for sixline wrasses...well wrasses in general you may also want to tell the reader that they don't ship well so you may want to wait a few days after they got em in before you buy them.

Found some great information in the new 2006 ANNUAL "Marine Fish and Reef" Magazine. I recomend it as a must read, page 88 has a great article on Wrasses and page 22 has an article on the sybiosis between cleaner animals and their clients. Its at Pet Smart and only comes out annually. Here is a link to the discription on what is in the Magazine:
