Looking for something blue

[Megatrev62]

Removed an azure damsel recently from my 90 gallon because he was bothering the green chromis.
But miss the blue, and looking for suggestions.
Current stock:

yellow tang
2 false percs
coral beauty
bi color blenny
6 green chromais
royal gramma

Suggestions very welcome. Thanks

Indigo dottyback
Goldbar wrasse (might be a little too big of a fish)
Blue dart fish

Good luck

I would have removed the green chromis instead.

 

[Megatrev62]

Lol,love the chromis. Remember the original question. Thanks

RayL,thanks I'll take a look.

 

[Megatrev62]

I realize it's tough for this size tank. A few choices from damsels for sure lol.

 

[Megatrev62]

Do blue reef chromis lose their color as they age? I've read this. Anyone?

Ours didn't in the year and a half we had them until they got rehomed for no longer being able to play nice with others.

Hippo tang

Hippo tang

Not allowed. :rollface:

IME I have never met a friendly damsel, so I would skip them if it was my tank.
A hippo tang will out grow the tank too quickly that is why I didn't recommend it.

I have never had a blue reef chromis but from a quick search online, it doesn't look like they do.

Baby indigo hamlet, I have one and it is a model citizen!

I dont think the blue grudgeon won't hold up in that mix, and you need a sandbed for it, further, I haven't seen a lot of them and most that you see in an image search shows rather pasty looking color, not the vivid blue LA shows. Macropharnygon bipartis.

Solar Wrasse

Starki damsels are mild tempered and beautiful.

Solar Wrasse

Thanks, never had luck with wrasses, always doing excellent then just disappear.

Nice fish, never heard of it. May look into it. Thanks

Chalk bass are highly under rated. Well fed and happy, they show to be blue in color.

Here is a pic of one. Kind of washed out compared to some that I have seen that were more strikingly blue. Really cheap, long lived, and never bother anyone.

Love chalk bass, but was looking for something vivid blue. Thanks

I think the blue reef chromis may be your best bet. The other options either get too big, or in your opinion aren't blue enough lol
