Black cap basslet
Yellow tang
Carpenter's Fairy Wrasse
I want a blenny, but not sure which one
Banggaii Cardinal
I also want a goby, but haven't decided which
Cherub Pygmy Angel

Can't find my list of fish I like LOL

I just picked up two of the bangai cardinals yesterday. Great fish!

Circus Goby is a good choice too!

I would do the Dwarf Hawkfish. We have one and i enjoy him alot. Also have one at the fish shop. Amazing little guys.

What size tank?

I vote for a Yellow Watchman Goby & a Tiger Pistol Shrimp!

 

[mielikkishunt]

tis a 55 gallon tank.

No Tangs then. Tangs need at least a 6 foot tank to be happy. They are crazy swimmers.

If you MUST have a tang, The only one recommended for your size tank is a "Kole" tang. But if you ever saw the watchman goby/pistol shrimp combo together you would be all over them.

Sorry ,but I agree with ReefNeck.

I love the fairies

yea no tang, i made that mistake on my first salt tank. I had a sailfin tang and a yellow tang in a 55 FO. It was ok for awhile then they got bigger. I ended up giving them to a friend with a 90 and they are actually still alive today. That was 6 years ago. I work at that fish place so if you want some inside info let me know. You can not get a circus goby there. Well you can but I just had them order me one and when it comes in it is mine ......They never have them its something you have to ask them to order. Everything on that list we have in bulk.

Royal Grammas are a good-all around community fish. Tough enough to stand up to whatever gets dished out but not aggressive unless pushed.

If you're looking at the bright colors of the supermale fairy wrasse, they are stunning, but the color will fade if he doesn't have a harem of females for which to display.

Stay away from the pseudochromis; ounce for ounce it might end up being the nastiest fish in your tank.

Love hawkfish! but they love shrimp, so if you have any or want any, steer clear of these guys.

Pygmy angels are awesome fish, but they can pick at some soft corals.

Thanks Ion, going to try and make it up there next month . .need to get some more live rock, but everywhere I see has it by huge amts, and just need a few more. . think i'm going ot get a hawk fish or royal gamma next. . making plans with my friend to visit a different store I've not been to yet in Glen Burnie MD

 

[mcliffy2]

get the wrasse, they are awesome. get the gramma last, my gramma is nasty to new fish when introduced (apparently this isnt universal, but something to be aware of...he almost killed my flasher wrasse, ripped his fin off).

Actually the Tomini Tang is smaller than a Kole and a Chevron is about the same size as a Kole, but I agree with not putting Tangs in a 55g
