look into rolland's damselfish. generally peaceful damsels (yup, i'm shocked too!) with beautiful yellow and purple-ish streaks.

Lemon peel not reef safe. Flame angel better

The yellow angel peel needs a 70 gal or larger tank. I have a 40 breeder and would like one too!

That's a pretty full list for a 40G, but a yellow assessor is another option

Why thank you.
Do you buy or have a let’s say 150gallon and only put in 3 fish or something?
I’m not a reef guy. Don’t plan on my tank being consumed with a water garden.

Well if I consider 5 fish in a 40 gallon aquarium to be reasonable, that would equate to 19 in 150 gallons so I'm not sure I follow your logic.

But, my opinion is just that. Do what works for you.

Well if I consider I didn’t ask you for an opinion about how many fish works in a tank along with the fact that you’re trying to apply your logic to a non-logical question, I’m not sure I’m following why you’re not providing an answer to what I asked.

I did provide an answer though and also what I thought might be potentially helpful advice. You of course are not required to take it. Best of luck with your new tank.

Well no, I asked if you bought or have a 150G tank and only put 3 fish in it. You I turn tried to give an equation of which I did not ask for. So no, you didn’t answer the question.

Hey man, I don't have a desire to argue here so I'm sorry if I gave the wrong impression. I have a 150 gallon aquarium with more than 3 fish but don't understand why that hypothetical is relevant.

Either way, we aren't adding any value to the community by having this conversation so I'll bow out. I do sincerely wish you success with the tank.
