orange spotted goby?

[psilentchild]

So I need to blow sand every couple of days.I'm done with sand sifter.My next fish will be a midas blenny, some kind of flasher wrasse ,some kind of fairy wrasse,coral beauty and then a kole tang.The only way I will get is if something happen to the one I have.Any have any suggestion on which flasher or fairy I should get

just so you know wrasses have been known to kick up quite a bit of sand as well, and Kole tangs are VERY shy, my bro has one and everytime i approach the tank it hides.

My Kole is a showoff and is usually in the front of the tank - wanting to be fed, of course.

I was thinking about getting a sixline wrasse instead of the flasher and fairy.I heard that the sixline will pick on the flasher and fairy is this true?

I don't know if a sixline will pick on another wrasse, but the one I had was very aggresive for its size.

Regarding the orange spotted goby--I had one that was doing well in my QT but decided to look for better options and leaped out a very small opening. The tank had a glass top but had a small area along the back of the glass that was about two inches long and a half an inch wide--out he went. I never even saw him swim near the top of the tank but I found him on the floor in the morning. Hope your tank is covered well. I'd really like to get another but will not do so until I figure out how to cover all openings without restricting air exchange too much.

The Psuedocheilinus hexataenia(six line wrasee) is aggressive particularly to Chirrhillabrus (fairy wrasse) and Paracheilinus(flasher wrasses. If you are doing both a flasher and a fairy you may wan't to pick a milder Chirrhilabrus such as a solarensis(clown wrasse) or bathyphylis (hooded fairy wrasse). Some wrasses do move alot of sand but generally not these species. They all are big jumpers..
