Best Fish for a Frag Tank and Why?

[Brandon Rush]

So I just got my frag tank (JBJ 30 gallon) set back up and wanna use it as a frag tank. What fish does everyone here recommend? I was thinking a wrasse?

Anything that will eat any pests/nuisances

get you a sixline and a lawnmower blenny. Algae and pests.

I have a pink streaked wrasse in QT right now that will go into my frag tank. Similar to a 6 line, but a lot friendlier if you have other fish with it.

Sapphire or yellow tail damsel is another good one

Yeah lawnmower Blenny eats algae and brilliant at it, but it occasionally nips at LPS, mine does anyway.

If you're wanting a wrasse, I'd go with a yellow coris wrasse to keep pests under control. Not sure that would work in a 30g though...maybe a sixline would achieve the same function.

Normally I don't recommend 6 lines since they are terrible community tank mates, but for a small frag tank they would be a wonderful addition if it's going to be your only fish as they have great color are highly visible and great for pest control.

Salt water conditioned black mollies for algae, a pair of pink streak wrasse (they pair easily) and a springeri damsel for pests that move.
