Must find a blue fish

[TitaniuIVI]

Hey guys, As the subject says I'm looking for a blue fish. I would love to get a blue tang, but I only have a 55gal tank, so most people would say no. Does anyone know of a blue fish that isn't aggresive and would match both my livestock list and my aquarium equipment (Both detailed below) Pictures would be greatlt appreciated. Thanks.

P.S. Also may be looking for bright blue corals if there are any suggestions, and pics.

Already have Neon Gobies, Blue Tile fish cost $60, don't really want an angel as most of them nip at SPS, and the Pseudochromis eat ornamental shrimp. See my dilema now?

I have a bi-color angel. He has been a model citizen. Never picks at the SPS. Picks around at the rocks and such.

 

[TitaniuIVI]

The problem with Angels is that they're a toss up, I've heard lots of poeple with them and all SPS are safe, but I've also heard alot of other people say that there SPS are now gone. I really don't want to put all my hard work up on a coin toss.

Well is the tank a reef? A cook Island Scott's Fairy Wrasse would be sweet. Not sure if he would fight with the fish you already have or not.

 

[MarkD40]

Your six line wrasse will NOT accept another wrasse in his territory! He will attack it with a vengence.

 

[Andrew]

Opps. I missed the other fish he has in his sig. Sorry about that.

hes already got green chromis. Can't really add more chromis once hes already got some in the tank.

I have this Neon Blue Yellow Belly Damsel (Azure Damsel), have had him for 3 years and he doesn't bother anyone. (Semi-Agressive)

I was just about to post about the yellow tail Damsel. I have one and hes a great fish but mine is very territorial and aggressive towards my pink skunk clown. Although lately they've been getting along very well.

 

[chasekwe]

Why not a blue mandarin? They aren't solid blue but still are a brilliant deep shade of blue.

Here is a picture of one of Melev's from his site.

BTW, theres a fair number of blue corals. Are you talking SPS, LPS, Softies or what?

 

[michaeldaly]

You could get a coral beauty, not really blue but purples similar to blue

 

[Brian5280]

Trade the blue-green chromis in for blue chromis. They are inexpensive and will get along with everything.

 

[rjwilson37]

Here is another picture of my Azure Damsel, I think it is a pretty fish and it is one of the first fish I ever purchased.

 

[75Gallons]

Same here. Although I never heard the Azure Damsel name before. I thought mine was just a "yellow tail" but he has the yellow that covers nearly 1/2 his body.

 

[rjwilson37]

The Azure damsel scientific name cover's the yellow tail, and the yellow tail/belly like mine I believe, which is a semi-aggresive type of damsel. There are mean ones as well that my LFS get's in just like mine, but most are not aggresive like the Domino and Blue Velvet.
