Fish ideas

Reeferburns · Feb 28, 2022

Hey, I’ve got a Red Sea reefer 200xl 53 gallon total volume with display being 42 gallons. I’m just wondering if anyone had any suggestions for fish to add with a lot of color but not too aggressive. Definitely no dottys. I’ve got 2 clowns and a 6 line. I’d love some suggestions! Thanks!!

I like my bicolor blenny but he was my first fish so???
Seems pretty colorful to me and also is a bit of a chameleon -- instantly gets like tiger stripes when he thinks he's getting food or just sitting around being curious about something.

Does hang out in his favorite holes with just his head sticking out a lot but perches on top of the rock structure when he's examining the area or, especially, if he thinks you're bringing food.

Also gets along great with my clown and swims around picking at stuff a lot in the afternoon/evening.

*note -- I only have a single clown, not a pair, so not sure how different that would make the dynamic.
