Colorful, active, tank cruising, peacfeful, reef safe Nano fish???

[duganderson]

I'm looking for a colorful, active, tank cruising, peacfeful, reef safe Nano fish. I'm looking for something that will actively cruise around the tank and rockwork like a 6-line wrasse but feel like 6-lines are too aggressive.

I have a 28 g. nano cube with 2 oc. clown, one red firefish, cleaner shrimp, and softies, 2 LPS (frogspawn and candy cane) and 2 rbta.

Any suggestions????

If you like sixlines then maybe you'd like a pinkstreaked wrasse. they're adult size is pretty small at about I'd say 2 inches. They aren't colorful per say, but very interesting little fish to watch. Usually a bit shy and reclusive at first, but mine is definitely one of my favorite fish. They have a lot of personality, and IMO do best in smaller tanks like yours. Oh and are completely non-aggressive unlike their bigger relatives the sixlines.

try a canary or forktail fang tooth blenny. they are amazing to watch because they go on about their own business. but some are hard to start feeding, but mine didnt have a problem

I vote for the pink-streaked wrasse. Mine is plenty colorful, and he does have a ton of personality. They also adapt really well to aquarium life, and he started eating pellets in no time at all. A tailspot blenny would be my next recommendation, although that might not be the color you're looking for...

I'd agree with the fangblenny recommendation if the tank were bigger, but IME they're very active fish that need a lot of swimming space. Fangblennies also get to be about 4" long or so, which takes them out of the "small fish" category.

While pink streaked wrasse are one of my favorite fish, they tend to be on the shy/reclusive side so I'm not sure that one would be what you are looking for. You will always see the fish but it will be always close to coral or rock cover.

Gold Assessor Basslet (Assessor flavissimus) he lives in my bio cube with a dwarf angel and firefish. He gets along great with them.

Ecsenius tigris , also known as the Coral Sea tiger blenny. Very personable and active.
