I would add a royal gramma.

 

[wes1333]

Thats what my LFS recomended.

read up on royal grammas they can be very territorial and stress your fish out alot i have heard good and bad stories

From what Ive seen they may be a problem when kept in too small (30g or smaller) of tank or with conspecifics... one should be fine in a 65g.

With a six line in there already the Gramma might stick to the rocks, it sounds like he wanted an open swimmer. I like the royal gramma but i had one that stayed hidden. Maybe a yellowtail damsel?

Chalk bass

I would consider a halicheores genus wrasse... something like the canary or christmas wrasse might make a good addition. they are generally peaceful and should do well enough with the sixline.

a flame angel or coral beauty would add nice color & swim openly, only drawback is if you were to purchase a coral they might pick at, mostly sps, but duncans & zoa's should be fine, at least thats been my experience.

I agree... a flame angel will definitely add some color to the tank.

i love my flame, he is so beautiful. although he likes the rocks, he "openly" swims in and out of the rocks all day.

fyg i have 4 clowns 2 false and 2 black and white. a green chromis and the flame.

im also looking for suggestions on next fish. im thinking cardinals like these, a pair would be nice

It only black and purple but I loved my black cap basset. Very deep purple and was always out.
