I have a 30g cube that has been up for 6 months. I currently have a firefish (which was the first addition) and a week ago I added a green mandarin. The firefish finally started to settle in and not dart for his hole when I would walk by around Thanksgiving. I left for a week and when I got home he got scared again and is doing the same thing where he darts to his hole. The mandarin started coming out more and now cruised almost all around the tank picking up pods all over. I enjoy both of these fish but neither are constantly swimming around the tank making the tank come alive.

So my question is what would be a good fish to add that would
1. constantly be swimming in the open
2. not eat pods as to not compete with the mandarin
3. be reef friendly with my corals
4. not be a clownfish

Any and all input is appreciated!
 
Are you adding pods to feed that mandarin? I had a really hard time in my 50g with a mandarin.

I just saw a yellow stripe cardinal fish that looked awesome.
 
My six line ate only frozen food, and so did my mandarin.... It was a new tank without pods.....I was the sweetest little fish...
 
Easy.

Flame Hawkfish.

Dart all over the place and then perch up on rock and structures. Have awesome chameleon like eyes, always seem to be checking you out. Too cool.
