Active swimmer for 60g

[trmiv]

I currently have 5 fish in my 60g cube, but unfortunately half the time you'd never know it. My two ocellaris clowns host the overflow in the back behind a rock, my firefish spends 90% of his time in his dart hole unless it's feeding time, my clown fairy wrasse does most of his swimming in the darker areas inside the rockwork, and my yellow watchman sits on the sand being a good watchman for his shrimp. What I'm after is one or two fish that will be active and add some visual appeal to the tank. Don't really want to risk a dwarf angel with my corals though. Any ideas?

You may like a Yellow Candy Hogfish. Peaceful active fish that only grows to about 4 inches.

Cool looking fish, thanks for the suggestion.

Interesting that your wrasse is so reclusive. My melanurus is all over the tank.

A royal gramma may be a good addition.

I think the halide lighting made him more reclusive. He was a much more active swimmer in my 65 with T5's. He was in that tank for about 3 years, and did a fair amount of swimming. But in the 60 with 250w radium he tends to stay in the darker areas. I also made it much easier for him to do so though because I used a lot of acrylic rods to stack the rocks so there is a lot of open space under them. So he takes advantage of it by staying where it's not so bright.

Royal Gramma is a good one too, adds a bolt of color to the tank. Always liked them but never owned one. I may end up doing two more fish, so a gramma and something else is probably where I'd lean.
