Active Fish for 37 Gallon?

[nivekid]

Hey all, I'm looking for an active swimming fish for my 37 gallon aquarium.

The current inhabitants are:

Helfrichi Firefish
Tailspot Blenny
Yasha/Shrimp Combo

I'm looking for something small and active, that would get along with these guys. I'd also like something colorful, maybe yellow or red. Lastly, I will be adding a picasso clown pair eventually. Please let me know your ideas, because I'm all out.

Thanks

Sounds like a nice combination. Really though, I'd just wait for the picasso clownfish pair. They pretty much meet your color requirements (well, they're orange and white, anyway!), they'll be very active, and with five fish in a 37G, you'll be pretty much maxed out population-wise, anyway.

What about a flame angel? I have a pygmy angel (my wife wanted something blue) and it is extremely active - always darting in and out of the gaps in the LR. Another alternative is one of the flasher wrasses. Clownfish are not what I would describe as active.

If the clowns are for sure, this is good advice.

If the clowns can be omitted, this is excellent advice.

I think that a yellow coris wrasse would be perfect - bulletproof, active, inexpensive and can help with coral parasites.

How about a Midas Blenny....I have one in my Solana and he's very active!

Any pygmy angel would work.

Thanks for the advice. I really do want the clowns, so I may just wait... I would rather not max out the system. What about something small with smaller bioload? Clown goby?
