Blue fish in a 40 breeder?

[Charley Diesing]

I'm looking for something active, and blue for my 40 Breeder. Small is ideal. 1-3 inches.

Not a damsel fish, or chromis.

Thanks alot,

Charleyyy

coral beauty is blue with orange (you can find ones that are more blue then orange) They grow a little bit bigger then 3inches.

 

[Charley Diesing]

Hmm yeah really looking for a smaller fish, I've seen those get 4-5 inches...

Thanks for the comment though.

Check out a Blue Reef Chromis. They arent the same as a chromis, nor are they a damsel. A very peaceful & very blue fish. I have one in my 29g, very active fish, love mine alot. Very good purchase imo.

I've seen those I like them, just don't know if I want to put one in my tank. Is yours by himself? Or a school?

Not really crazy about the assessor.

I'm not trying to turn anyone down by the way. So far I'm liking the Neon Goby, Can I get two?

 

[Reefing Newbie]

I think you can only get two if they are a pair.

Gotcha so probably just wanna go with one then.

It's funny you put "etc" on the longest list of fish suggestions I've ever seen.

Blue neon gobies are great little fish. They are very inquisitive and will clean your hand/arm when you have it in the tank.
