What fish should I get?

ChrisQ0904 · Oct 30, 2019

I have a deep blue 80g that will be my second tank and anemone dominant. Mainly carpets and BTAs, I currently have two clowns and a randalls goby/shrimp pair in the tank. Currently in QT is a yellow tang. I know I want more fish, just have no idea what fish I want. I am looking for ideas on what fish you guys think I should throw it, I have a sand bed but am not running a cover and dont plan to run one.

No cover is kind of a gamble/limiting. Banggai/Pajama cardinals, clown gobies? That's all I can think of, the rest of the fish I am familiar with are fairly jumpy.

Cardinals or dwarf angelfish can be a nice addition, though anyone had potential to be anemone snacks, especially with a carpet anemone. If you mean maxi mini and not actual big carpet ones, you should be good with almost fish within tank recommendation sizes.

A small school of either anthias or chromis might be nice. A Randall’s goby will probably jump with no top. Mine has tried with a top.

Yes I am talking about the big carpets. Either gigantea or haddoni
