40 Breeder Fish Suggestions

[Jackwkahn]

Looking for some nice fish to add to my 40, any suggestions?

Right now I have a female leopard wrasse and a baby hippo tang (who will be moving to a friend's 180 once he is big enough to play with the Purple, Yellow, Naso, and triggers currently inhabiting it). I don't want fish that are too generic (i.e. royal gramma, fire fish, etc.). The tank is also bare bottom so keep that in mind (I actually had a dish of sand for the leopard wrasse to sleep in but I guess she decided to try sleeping under the rocks. Go figure).

Thanks

Fairy wrasses are one of my favorite now, and a pair would easily go into a 40 breeder.

ehh, im good with my one leopard. Im thinking a pair of black Ice clowns and a yellow watchman goby

Ctenogobiops tangaroai is a cool shrimp goby, they have camouflage that looks like sand.

Well you said you wanted a YWG which is a watchmen/shrimp goby. How 'bout an assessor? One of the fish I've always wanted.

Midas Blennies are very cool; I will definitely consider one.

The Gold Assessor is very nice but also very expensive. I've always wanted a leopard wrasse but mine only cost me $15! :spin1:

Burrowing/sifting gobies need sand.

dont do a YWG and definitely not a pistol without sand.

You will cause it to not be happy. By nature, its a sand creature. Why would you do that? That makes no sense to me. Just get fish that dont need sand.
