What kind of fish should I get for a 45 gallon cube. I have 2 clowns and a yellow clown goby. Want at least three more
 
Bangaii cardinal
Firefish
Royal gramma
Yellow assessor
Grammistes blenny
Zebra dartfish
Sunburst anthias
Just a few suggestions.
 
I agree with the list above. I'm getting a NUVO fusion 40 gal. I'm debating about getting between 2 stocking lists.
1: 1 or 2 clownfish, a yellow clown goby, purple firefish, banggai cardinal, and 2 blue green chromis or
2: 1 or 2 clownfish, a midas blenny, six-line wrasse, and 1 or 2 of the following.....orchid dottyback, royal gramma, and/or blue devil (orange tail) damsel

What does anybody think of the second list?

The second list has potential for fights between some of the inhabitants. Sixlines, dottybacks, grammas, and damsels all want space around the rockwork and will fight to defend their claimed territory. The best chance for it to work is to add all at once, not giving anyone fish a chance to claim the whole tank for it's own.
 
If I go with 2 clowns, the midas blenny, and a six-line wrasse, any suggestions for another really cool fish that will fit in well without disturbing the peace? I really do want the six-line because I think they're beautiful and I like the fact that they eat flat worms and bristle worms. I got flat worms in my last tank. Not sure how as I dipped my corals before putting them in but they sure were a pain. I love the looks of a Banggai Cardinal but I read that the Midas Blenny might nip at it. Not sure why.
 
It is unlikely, though not impossible, that the midas would nip the bangaiis.

It is possible the sixline won't get aggressive, but chances are it will. The best bet would be to add him last.
