Open Swimmer for 90g

[bromion]

Hi all,

I have a 90 gallon mixed reef (60-in long) with 6 other fish -- 2 ocellaris, 1 hogfish, 1 flame angel, 1 purple pseudo, and 1 lawnmower blenny -- and I want to add one more fish that will be a good swimmer. All my current fish really like to hide out.

I'd like some contrasting colors; already represented well are black/white, red, yellow, and purple (when it comes out!). Any ideas? I don't want anything terribly aggressive or anything that will eat my corals or clams.

Thanks for suggestions!

Any thoughts on Sargassum Triggerfish or Kole Tangs?

You saw my sargassum at the frag swap right? Very beautiful fish! My favorite fish ever til he went carpet surfing! I was at age of aquariums today and they had two. One small and one medium sized. We will get 15% off at our next meet there so maybe you can get one there if you decide to get one.

Tangs are great swimmers, any wrasse too, but some wrasses will hide out for weeks when newly introduced. And Anthias are pigs, they eat way too much and if you dont feed em enough they die, and they looks too much like freshwater fish to me. JMO.

 

[firereef]

Lol. Freshwater fish^^^^

 

[EndlessSummer]

I will agree on athias being pigs, he would dive bomb every little piece of food in my tank.

Argh! My flame angel got sucked into a CL intake and didn't survive. Poor guy : ( So I might be in the market for more fish. I am on the lookout for a Sargassum Trigger. Should I get another pygmy angel? I sure did like that Flame angel... a favorite.

Wait til the meeting. You might win some fish in the raffle

 

[bromion]

I might not make the meeting... will be in Santa Barbara till evening.

Definitely get a clown tang constant swimmer lots of color and inexpensive just make sure he's eating before you buy.

Clown tang might be a bit big for my tank.
