Love it when you talk dirty!... Fav plant hydrocotyle tripartita , fav fish pseudomugil furcatus
I was kinda in the same boat, wanted some blue but nothing seemed to fit. I ended up buying 5 Blue Chromis and to my surprise I really like them. They look great at night with the blues on and are active swimmers. You just need to quarantine them to ensure you don't get UM.
I've never kept one, but the blue assessors I see at my local store always look so cool. They swim upside down, too.
Chrysiptera spp damsel. Either C. parasema, C. hemicyanea, or C. springeri. Only get one, and it should be the only damsel, chromis, or (arguably) clown in the tank.
One blue chromis would be fine. The same rules apply.
I like the coloration of hemicyanea better than springeri, but the later suppose to be more peaceful. Hmm
I kept 5 C. hemicyanea for quite some time in a 72x24 footprint. They would quibble amongst themselves but never really seemed to bother anything else. If your looking for something more on the peaceful side then get a trio blue gudgeon dart gobies. They are timid for awhile but are fairly durable once settled in.
If going with the saphires.. I would do a trio... this keeps them squabbling amongst themselves and ignoring the other fish... I have 3 in my 120... great fish

I did not.. I researched a bunch and it's more about available territory and having other damsels to occupy them..For trio of damsel. Do you need to sex them a certain way? Or just any 3 will do?
That goby is skinny. What kind of lid did you use to keep them in?
Yeah the UM bit scared me. I'm planning to do the whole TTM/Prazipro/Formalin routine, but still. How long have you kept the chromis? tank size?
I have two b/g chromis that sleep in the same rock structure practically next to each other, and swim together during the day. Never had issues with them. I did have 3, but 1 got stuck in my overflow and ended up pipe surfing. It got quite beat up in the pipe and died.I have had three B/G Chromis in my 90 gallon for well over 2 years now. They each sleep in a separate rock structure separated by sand every night. Many report them killing each other off but I have not had that issue. I blame the separate structures that they can claim as territory to keeping aggression down.
What about a cleaner wrasse, they are easily spotted and interact with the other fish all day long.
