Help me add my final (yellow) fish!

[brett559]

I'm going for the full color spectrum, as best I can. This is what I currently have:

Red - flame hawk, candy cane hog
Orange - clowns
Yellow - MISSING!
Green - corals/blue-green chromis
Blue - blue-green chromis
Purple - mystery wrasse

Looking to add an active, yellow fish. I've heard lemonpeels are brutal on corals. What about the yellow angelfish (Centropyge heraldi)? Would they be more like a coral beauty/flame angel, i.e. frequent success in reefs?

I've done the midas blenny thing. Don't want to risk a yellow coris wrasse with my established mystery wrasse. Clown gobies and accessors don't do it for me.

Any experience with the yellow angels?

Joculator Angel is one of my favorite

How big is your tank. Is it the 42 gallon I see in your signature?

 

[brett559]

Yes. 42g

yellow coris wrasse

what about a black and gold chromis or lemon chromis. think i would stay away from angels with the corals.

If the yellow fish doesn't have to be super active a yellow watchmen goby or a yellow line goby might work. Other than the other fish already mentioned I can't think of any other yellow fish that would work in a 42 gallon.

 

[brett559]

Yeah. Not too much to choose from. I've kept flames, coral beauties and regal angels in reefs with no issues (maybe a zoa lost here or there)...

Maybe I'll try the yellow angel.

Love my midas blenny always out front and swimming up to beg for hand outs!

Canary deep water damsel, beautiful yellow with blue stripe eye, very mellow as damsels go.

X2, mine is about my favorite fish.

I just got a new fish last Tuesday a Yellow Candy Hog Fish, it's awesome. Here are a few crappy cell phone pictures of it. They don't do it any justice at all. Very beautiful fish
