[that novice guy]

I cant figure out what to put in my tank i want colorful fish and shrimps that arent shy and they must be peacful to a little agresive they must be compatible with my dragonet and reef safe my tank is an 60 gallon 4H 1H 2W

mccoskers wrasses, small blue hippo tang, pair of harlequin shrimp, pair of skunk cleaner shrimp, flame hawk, trio of lyre tail anthias, handful of banded brittle stars, pair of solomon island percula clownfish.....

that should be a nice little set up!

mostly great ideas. I don't think mccoskers wrasses eat many pods so you should be fine with your dragonette. If you follow the suggestion of a flame hawk make sure you don't have any shrimp that are too small or they may become dinner. I would also not put a blue hippo in a 60 regardless of how small it is...some would disagree but imo even a small one will not thrive in a 60.

Anyways...I would definitely do a pair of clowns. If you feel like splurging I am really loving the snow onyx but I also love plain old ocellaris or black ocellaris which are always easy to find and reasonably priced. If you want color my favorite splash of color is always a flame angel. I have had good luck with mine staying away from coral, but it is always a risk, although I consider it a low one. Bengaii cardinals are another fish I like in a peaceful community tank. They may eat some of your dragonette's pods but should not out compete him. Keep us posted, I love hearing about what decisions people make and how their tanks come together.
