Coolest Reef Fish?
I am looking into getting a new fish... and I want something that has a personality, and something that looks awesome... I only have a 14 gallon so I know I am slightly limited... but I would like to see some pics of what you guys think to be the best inhabitants and pics would be appreciated...

i think box fish are awesome, they have such personalities and are great eaters. They almost hyperventilate with excitement when they see you at feeding time!! They like following your finger on the glass of the tank!

For that sized tank, probably a mandarin, but I don't know if it would be a great choice as they have a pretty strict diet. They mostly require live food.
Honestly, for your situation I'd probably try to find a pair of clowns. I guess the best question to ask would be what's already in the tank?

well see I have two domino damsels but their psycho attitude is almost depressing lol so The lfs told me they would give me store credit for them and i could trade for something else..... .. . . ... . . just dont know what i want... but i want it to be awesome b/c I know I dont have much capacity for that many fish... so i want the ones that i end up getting to be really cool.

For a smaller tank like that Id go with a pair of clowns. Id get true percs and not the false though. I have the false and always wish I got the true percs.

you can't keep a large enough pod population in a tank that small for a mandarin. It will starve to death. You could do a tangora goby or a watchman

in a tank that small i would just put a single damsel in it. i would pic the most colourful damsel you could find. there are several out there that are really amazing. that way it will have the whole tank to itself. it will have quite a personality, just put your hand in the tank.

Pseudocromis are also a good choice. i would only have one in that size tank though.

I also really like my springer's dottyback, though he does attack my arm.

They are small but in your size tank it would be great for it.
