So I have some rock curing right now and I have been debating about the different fish for my tank. Just a heads up It's going to be a reef with mostly LPS and some SPS but I'm thinking no softies. I'm trying to stay away from butterflies and angels because I've heard they nip corals.
So I am definetley getting
-six lined wrasse
-2 ocellaris clowns + anemone
I was also thinking about one or two of the following
-3 chromis
-2 anthias
-canary Blenny
-yellow clown or yellow watchmen goby
Etc.
just a reminder the 2nd section I am only getting one or two of.
If you have any ideas please help.
If you have heard of other fish you can mention them below.
Thanks a bunch!!! :)
 
What would you like to see in your tank as far as colors, swimming patterns, and what type of budget? :)
 
Well, I like bright colors and I really wanted a yellow tang but 75 gallons is pushing it so I decided against it. I would like a couple of small to medium sized fish who diffrent things like some clowns in a nem, schooling fish etc. so you have alot of things to look at. My budget is pretty flexible considering Im not asking for super rare fish probabley at max $50 for one fish but it has been a while since i saw one that expensive.
 
I would skip the six line wrasse and get a few less aggressive wrasses a pair of flasher wrasses, a fairy wrasse or 2 and a yellow corris wrasse ( I love the color on these guys and they eat invaders). Good luck what ever you decide to go with!

+1 on the sixline, they are mean little suckers
 
Yeah, I would stick to peaceful fish like cardinalfish and firefish (Dartfish). Also I have read on this forum that clown gobies can nip at SPS corals and cause damage so if you are planning on SPS in the future might want to reconsider. (read the thread "worst livestock mistakes")
Royal Grammas add nice color... Rainford Gobies. Anthias (as suggested) swim around the water column and hide less when they are comfortable.
 
Okay I didn't know that about 6 lined wrasse I'll skip him. the yellow corris wrasse looks a lot like the canary Blenny so I might get ether one.
I didn't know this but Flasher wrasse will only get around 4 inches I thought they got more like six inches so I might get one or two of those. I really like rainford goby he is pretty cool.
