Blue colored fish recommendation

[ksicard]

Hello everyone,
I wanted to ask for recommendations on a blue colored fish for my tank. I'm just looking for ideas on a future addition. I have a 120g mixed reef and am looking for additions that wont out grow the tank and will not pose a threat to corals/inverts, such as shrimp.

I have Yellowhead Solon Fairy Wrasse that is beautiful, and 15 Alleni Damsel. I highly recommend them.

Azure Damsel is also very nice and mild for a damsel.

I love the color pattern of my Melanurus. Although 50/50 with inverts, doesn't touch any of my CUC ( Fire and Cleaner Shrimp, Turbo, Nassarius and Conch snails), but did chow down on some Peppermints I added for Aptasia.

My Vrolik's wrasse did not bother any inverts and he was quite large. If your tank were a little larger an Atlantic Blue Tang would be cool.

springer damsels have seemed nice in my tank. And very, very bright blue.

A group of starcki damsels! Nice color and not overly aggressive. I have 4 in my 100 gallon tank together with 3 Gramma loreto, besides a little intimidation now and then to make sure everyone knows its place it's pretty peaceful.
The starcki damsels have really tiny mouths, so alone for that reason they are not a big danger to others.

Do starki hold their color or they dull out like most damsels?

I have one in my tank and I think the color has gotten better with age.

I've had my starcki damsel for a few months. Gorgeous fish. She and my clowns go at it occasionally, but nothing serious.

I like the idea of small damsels in the tank, but I'm a little weary of adding them. Which damsels will be 100% well behaved? Once they go into the display i'm not going to be able to get them out.

My Starcki damsels are better behaved than my grammas. I also noticed with the one in my 100 gallon tank that his attention to other fish diminished greatly once I added the 3 females. Now he is way too busy with keeping the females under control to waste time on the other fish.

The other male that I have in my 40 gallon tank is also not making any trouble. But his tank mates are either larger or meaner than him: a pair of percula, 2 Marine Bettas, a 2.8" Regal Angel and a Neon Dottyback.

I can also confirm that the color stays or gets even better with age. But that likely also depends on the tank and if the fish feels comfortable.

I would get two or three for that size tank :thumbsup:

I have always loved and had good luck with Cherub angel fish if you don't already have a dwarf angel fish.
