Blue colored fish in 30g tank?

[captmilkchoco]

I have a smaller tank and would like some blue fish that are reef safe and peaceful/semi aggressive.

The obvious answer is chromis, but I've seen plenty of warnings about them being reduced to 1 and susceptible to parasites. So not those. Any other suggestions?

Springer damsels. Ones of the more peaceful damsels.

Cherub or flameback angel?

Some people on this forum love certain blue damsels...

If you quarantine like you should other fish, you wont have a problem with that, the problem with chromis in a 29 is they have high feeding requirements, need to be fed 2-3x a day.

Maybe a couple neon blue gobies? or a chalk basslet? they are not all blue but have really brilliant blue stripes. Another that isn't blue but has some striking blue pattern is blue banded gobies, but they are hard to come by.

A blue assessor. Sorta pricey.

For those responding damsel: I have a firefish in there now, planning on a pink streaked wrasse and a pair of clowns. I've avoided damsels, in general, because of aggression. Anything I would need to do to ensure compatibility?

A blue assessor would be nice, but yes, a bit pricey.

Didn't get deleted. I posted the same topic in the "New to Hobby" forums and you responded there.

Blue assessor hands down, one of my favs when I had a 29BC. Worth the $
Pink streaked wrasse was my favorite

What is the behavior like for a blue assessor?

 

[cougareyes]

They tend to hang out in a cave, they cruise from time to time but for the most part home bodies. Completely peaceful but will absolutely take no guff. They don't hide they'll find a cave opening that they can hang and watch the entire tank. They can hang sideways and even upside down.

Another possibility is the blue gudgeon dartfish
