I need a new fish!

[HugillSam]

Hi all

yeah, ive had my reef tank for around a year now and i am adding fish slowly at the moment and have come to a point where i feel i can add another however i am just looking for peoples opinions on my next fish(s)and which fish people have enjoyed keeping etc

in the tank at the moment i have

2 CLowns
1 Anemone
1 Copper-band butterfly
1 Fire Shrimp
5 Hermit Crabs
1 Green Goby
1 Royal Gramma
2 Snails

and a few coral frags

all get on fine without any problems apart from a odd nip between my Copper Band and the Gramma

so any suggestions would be welcome!

Thanks

Tank size?

We can't make any recommendations until we know how big the tank is.

 

[HugillSam]

Sorry guys thought it came under my name but obv not, it's 140 gallon, so probz nothing bigger than my butterfly fish he can get pretty agressive sometimes

Joculator Angelfish, Rhomboid Wrasse pair, soooo many choices! GET FISH THAT EXCITE YOU. People tell me I have expensive taste, they only look at the expensive fish. They never see the common clownfish or the yellow longnose butterfly...

 

[HugillSam]

the reason i got into this hobby was because of clown fish, i love the colour! but yeah the angelfish look really good! the problem i have you see is my fish shop works by going in and ordering when people request them so i need ideas if you get my drift! so any names would be amazing!

do you know of any smaller fish that swim in a shoal i would love to see that in my tank!

 

[Vince272992]

Pair of mckoskers wrasse or lamarks angel or a small group of Firefish or chromis would look great

 

[HugillSam]

Black Bar Chromis are great, the fish shop had them for a while but someone beat me too it! thank you for the suggestions

KEEP THEM COMING!!

:lmao:red tail/sargassum triggerfish, or crosshatch if you are feeling spendy

 

[HugillSam]

love triggerfish but im pretty sure it would turn my tank in to some sort of battle royal... and i know who would win haha thanks anyway though! thoughs crosshatch's look nice i shall look into them!

 

[Vince272992]

What about a group of lyertail Or Bartletts anthies or lame angel or flame hawk????

 

[Reef264]

Tangs, My pick would be a White Tail Bristle tooth.They are pretty, also pretty impossible to find...

White freckle tang imo. I want one bad but my Lavender Tang would dislike it i think.

 

[united417]

as people suggested i would look into a tang (i always thought whitecheek tangs were pretty neat, as well as sailfins, purples, blacks, PBT's, convicts and many others haha) and/or a group (at least 3) of either a species of anthias or wrasse you really like (i personally love flasher wrasses and fairy wrasses, but there are many awesome anthias species which would school a little more than the wrasses i think) HTH

I loved my trio of lyretails, I lost them when my tank cracked. I have fairy wrasses now and they are nice to watch, mine cruis around the tank all day looking for food and in and out of the rocks. I also love my Black Tang, such an awesome fish. Have you thought of some type of dwarf angel? I know alot of people have them but they are nice to watch swim around, my anthias always kinda just hung out.

 

[HugillSam]

thanks for all the thoughts!

but yeah i would love another fish but it cant really be much bigger than my copper band as the tank will get crowded so dwarf angel fish would be ideal! any other good dwarf breeds?

 

[Vince272992]

Flame back , flame, and Pygmy cherub angel are the most reef safe dwarfs and very pretty

 

[RadReefer]

Regal angel...

 

[HugillSam]

love regal angel's but they are too big for my tank :/ i love them flames backs they would look ace in my tank however im thinking of a shoal of black bar chromes
