Question

fish picking advice


Okay fridmani pseudochromis.
opinions
I want one more fish for my tank
35 gallon
2 ocse clowns
1 scooter dragonette
(I know I know but he eats frozen everything mysis, brine, bloodworms)
that's it for fish
I have a few soft corals

I read that these guys are bossy.
Well one showed up at my LFS and seems to be at a low price. He is in a tank that says splendid pseudochromis so I guess they just mislabled him. The owner wasn't there so I didn't check it out.
Now basically the fish is quite small.
Could he be a good addition to my tank or are they too aggressive.
opinions?
anybody that has/had one?
thanks everyone

If you're worried about the fish being aggresive, you may want to check out Grammas.

hey
thanks for the links
yeah basslets are a fish I'd like to get
a royal gramma or an assessor would be goodtimes
the problem is that they don't seem to come here. my lfs hasn't had a gramma in for ages.
so I could keep waiting for one to come in.
I'm just kind of looking at other possiblilities instead of a gramma

LMB and Bi-color blenny are both potential choices.
I had a yellow watchman, great fish, but was so scared of my cleaner shrimp. One day I came home and he was hurt or something.
I want to stick with a fish that will not be so figity.

a yellow clown goby is a very pretty/colorful nice small fish that loves to hang out/perch in your corals... very pretty and usually cheap.

What about a lyretail anthia? I am looking at one of them for my tank. They have beautiful fins and are supposedly very peaceful. I don't think they are very expensive either. I love the pseudochromis, but I just want to have peaceful fish in the tank, so I decided to pass on that one. The grammas are just as colorful. I think I did read that the black cap basslet can pick on small shrimp, though.

thanks for the input everyone.

They are nice fish but my tank is too small for anthias
-gordon
clown gobies are neat little guys but again rare in these parts. There's not always a wide variety of fish that come this way.

But back to the fridmani
I read that they are not as bullyish and other dottys/pseudos
Is it just not a good idea to get this fish or are they potentially peaceful??
