Looking for suggestions on fish

[ReefLover1230]

I have a 40 breeder and I am looking for some suggestions on a couple good and interesting reef safe nano fish to add to my tank. I like color! I would like to also stay under the 100 dollar Mark too!

There are lots of great fish you can get for your 40b. You can look through the fish list of Live Aquaria in their nano section here

And there are many other small fish in the main section here:

Put together a list of fish you want and post it here. We'll let you know what will work and what won't as well as have a few suggestions.

I've got a 40b and have the following fish in it
Cherub Angel
Midas Blenny
McCosker's wrasse
Matted File Fish
Royal Gramma
Pair Mocha Ocellaris Clowns
Yellow Candy Hogfish
Scooter Blenny (just got him today :dance: )

Also let us know how your tank is setup. How long , sump and equptment.

I'm new to reefing. Tank has been set up 9 months and is soon to have a 20 gallon sump with refugium.

Equipment:
UV sterilizer
Protein skimmer
Aqua clear 50
Eshopps hang on back overflow

Refugium:
Live sand and rock
A small clean up crew
Chaeto

Fish/inverts:
Purple firefish
Ruby head fairy wrasse
Orange stripe prawn goby/pistol shrimp pair
Cleaner shrimp
2 peppermint shrimp
Melanarus wrasse
Blue stripe dottyback


Keep in mind I have corals and soon am looking to have a pair of black ocellaris snowflake clowns.

I don't think a pair of clowns would co exsist well with those fish. The melanarus wrasse needs a larger tank, and the clowns and the Melanurus will most probably not like each other.

Thank you for the input! My melanarus is still a juvenile. So you think he should definitely have a bigger tank?

I agree. Melanurus get too large. I have one in a 50 gallon that it is out growing. You can certainly keep it there for now, but look to re-home it as it grows.
