Fish suggestions

[sarahlovesfish]

I have a 80 gallon reef tank. And I have a fire goby, blue green chromis, midas blenny, royal gramma, and soon I am going to get 2 clownfish. Before I add the clownfish, I might want to get one more fish. I would like to get some wrasse. I thought about a yellow coris wrasse or a cleaner wrasse. I saw those at my lfs. I didn't see any possum wrasse. Or is there any other fish that wil look nice in my reef aquarium.

anybody?

How about a tang? They are really pretty, and 80 gal is big enough. I have always thought the sailfin tangs were neat looking.

A sailfin will unfortunately not fit in an 80. What about a leopard wrasse?

You could look into smaller anthias they need more care when feeding than other fish but they are beautiful.

I do not recommend tangs for this size tank. Sailfins get HUGE.

Sometimes leopard wrasses are difficult to keep fed. I would reserve them for more experienced fishkeepers. If the OP has patience to meet the feeding requirements then, I agree.


I like the wrasse idea though. A yellow coris wrasse would be a good fit if you have a sandbed. Fairy/flasher wrasses are typically very colorful and reefsafe.

Great options.

Thanks, I might get a coris wrasse or a flasher wrasse, or a anthias. I think a tang will be too big for my aquarium.
