I prefer seeing the fish at the store, but thanks

Dwarf angels are pretty cool. Do you have any corals they'd nip at?

Any of the pygmy Angels would be fine in a 40 gal tank.
The two Flameback are the most beautiful, and most expensive, of the pygmy angels list below, IMO
Centropyge argi, the Cherub angel
Centropyge flavicauda , the Yellow tail angel
Centropyge acanthops , the African Flameback
Centropyge aurantonotus the Brazillian Flameback (Fireball)

Midas blenny might be nice. They have lots of personality, are bright yellow with a puppy dog face and they eat some nuisance algae. They are jumpers so you need a tight lid however.

This is a new tank. I’ve had it cycled for 2 weeks, but keep adding food while the clownfish( black snowflake and gladiator ) are still in qt in my frag tank
I would like to stock my tank with utilitarian fish
(Six line, algae eaters)

 

[40g Nano]

No corals at the moment, I’ll frag some from my nano but I’m doing a 4 month cycle

 

[40g Nano]

Up for 2 weeks after the cycle to be clear
One last fish suggestions?

 

[40g Nano]

Midas blenny, some type of hawkfish, or a goby shrimp pair

 

[40g Nano]

I’m leading towards the goby because the cool relationship they have with pistol shrimp

A dwarf angel, many colors/types.

Foxface will grow fast and fish that large tend to make smaller tanks look awkward and unnatural.

Foxface are very active swimmers.
Mine paces in my 75g, 4' long.

I see many people say that they just graze on algae, and don’t swim around too much like tangs, but thanks for the advice

Tailspot blenny. Only gets 2.5 inches, a good worker and tons of personality. Mine holes up in a shell, his hidey hole he backs into.

I have a clown goby and pistol. They are reclusive.
I haven't seen them in a few weeks, but I hear the pistol shrimp warning crabs or somebody every couple of days.

With their “pistol”?
