Gold Striped Maroon Clown

[Titus77]

does anybody have an idea what hardy fish would get along with my gold striped maroon clown, blue damsel, and cleaner shrimp?

The damsel to start with will be the worst your goldstripe will end up getting very mean. if it is the 60 gallon you could do just about any fish that wont eat shrimp and is not a type of clown.

A wrasse might be a good choice. I have a Ornate (Christmas tree) wrasse with mine. No probs.

Here is a pic of them:

It depends on the fish. My Gold Stripe doesn't mess with any of my fish...peaceful or aggressive.

Six-line Wrasse, Gobies, Blennies. You name it.

How about a Flame Hawkfish?

I don't want any fish that sleep inside of a mucus bubble though. (sixline wrasse)

Does your damsel really get along with your clown? My chromis don't particularly like my GSM...so I was kind of hesitant to add a yellow tail damsel, but I really would like to have one as I love the blue and yellow coloring. Best looking fish you can purchase for $4.99 IMHO.

I have a dottyback that holds its own. He and the GSM picks at my blue damsel though.

I would say a dwarf angel or a LM blenny or a wrasse

My clown gets along with my Yellow Tang and Flame Angel. Before I evicted my Yellow Tail Damsels he got along with them as well. Since he has been hosting a Condy he thinks that he is king!

 

[Titus77]

Yes, El Langostino, my blue damsle and GSM really get along.

The only damsels I will keep are green chromis. Most others are or become mean, IMO
My GSM was so cool for the first 6 months, and yesterday I came home and he was beating on everyone. Even with my hand and net in the tank he wouldn't stop fighting.
I was warned about this with maroons. I've heard it gets worse
as they mature.
Fish, like people have different personalities, so you might get lucky,but I'd ditch the damsel.
Both of those fish could pick on any new addition

I haven't had any problems with my 2 GSM. They don't pick on anyone. My blue chromis is worse then them.

I have a 5"+ Maroon and her much smaller mate. When I first put in their anemone, they attacked EVERYTHING. After about a month they calmed down. Now she eats from my hand, and often will put her head out of the water like a dolphin looking for me. I have them in with a yellow tang, neon dottyback and a lawnmower blenny, and they all get along fine.
