getting some ideas on fish

[Whatnow]

I have my 14g BC cycling now and its starting to get close to stocking the first fish in a week maybe 2 so anyone have some good ideas-
1. I will have some corals
2. have had my fair share of Clowns
3. need something interesting color wise but not to demanding
4. I already feed my 30 & 75 g tanks seaweed & Mysis & brine so I already have those foods

You should get a goby pistol shrimp pair.

goby pistol shrimp pair.

I don't have deep enough of a sand bed.

a goby would be nice, maybe a fire fish or two... you could even do an angler.

I would not go with the dottyback, but that is just me.. I have seen some that are very calm and easy going, and others that will try and beatdown a clownfish..LOL
I also like the use of LiveAquria.. They are about 4 hours from my house, and I go visit the DiversDen twice a year..LOL They are awesome people, but their specks are a little off on Fish for size of tank (I know the guy personally who made up the rule/suggestion)

Swales basslet, pink streak wrasse, possum wrasse, barnacle blennies, firefish.

I'll check them out as these will go into the tank next to my desk so I'll be looking at them a lot.

sorry...2 firefish will kill each other unless they're a mated pair...its very important to select fish very wisely and minimally...I tried 3 yellow tail damsels and had to remove 2 as the attacking never stopped...put in a spot tail blenny=no problem at all...now have a chalk basslet in qt...he's doing really well but I hope he's not seen as a competitor...the order you put them in is very important...start with your smallest, weakest choice...eventually go for others but be gradual and do your research...2 great books are Nano -Reef Species by Scott W. Michaels and an absolute must isThe Nano Reef Handbook by Chris Brightwell...both on Amazon...the latter book is like the bible for nano keepers...Good luck and go slow...

...Just wanted to add...you don't need too deep a bed for a shrimp/goby combo...I tried it and still have the tiger-snapper shrimp whose doing just fine alone...the yellow watchman jumped and I tried another and the damsel and blennie killed him...read those books...plenty of mistakes to make even with the knowledge...
