Reccomendations for 5th and Final fish

[E-A-G-L-E-S]

Hi guys and gals....looking to finish my stocking list and very open to suggestions!

It is a 46g mixed reef tank.
Current inhabitants:
-Ocellaris pair(young)

Order from LiveAquaria(coming tomorrow):
-2-3" midas blenny
-1" royal gramma

So what should be my fifth and final fish? If you feel I am full stocked with those four already let me know.

TIA!

How about a small wrasse, like a possum or flasher? Pair of Priolepis gobies. I really like P. nocturna.

Dwarf Angel?

SDguy....would I not need to worry about the midas badgering the yellow gobie?(similar color and body shape)
I was looking at a twin spot gobie(mostly white), but I believe they only eat pods, correct?

aragonite....I was considering one, but I can't decide if my tank is too small for one(leaning towards yes currently). I've never had one in anything smaller than a 75g before. I also just yesterday scored three choice sps frags(for me) and I don't want to end up having to remove anybody...

One of the smaller Angels, acanthops or fisheri would both be ok IMO. Most Angels go for soft corals, and LPS, rather than SPS.

P. nocturna looks nothing like a midas. Mine don't interact at all, but it is a larger tank. There is always the chance a fish could be a jerk, but that's the risk we take when combining any fish

Twin spot gobies are super difficult to keep alive, IMO/E.

 

[E-A-G-L-E-S]

I do have lps as well, just mostly sps. I even have a unique bta and a fuzzy mushroom.
There will be one maximma clam down the road as well.

SDguy...I was told the same about the TS gobie, shame because it is a sharp looking fish.
Any other reccomendations?

A McCosker's Flasher would be nice...

 

[aragonite55]

How about a Scarlet Hawkfish, great colour and even greater character.

A blenny, great personality on those fish. Starry, tailspot, lawnmower, redlip...

I have a Midas Blenny coming from live aqauria tomorrow, so I cant put another blenny in the tank. I have had a lawnmower in EVERY tank I've ever owned, but I have never owned a Midas so I am trying that this time.

Any more recc's?

 

[SDguy]

Plectranthias inermis? I don't have personal experience with them though.

 

[sponger0]

A scooter if you can verify it will it mysis

 

[E-A-G-L-E-S]

I have a midas blenny coming from live aquaria tomorrow, so I can't put another blenny with it.

 

[sponger0]

Scooter blenny isnt a blenny. Its a dragonet

 

[E-A-G-L-E-S]

Thanks for correction.
After reading that they do not live on pods, that is now a serious contender.
I also read they do well in multiples. Can I just go with two and hope one is a male and one a female? Or will one become dominant like clownfish?

 

[sponger0]

Scooters are more likely to eat prepared foods as opposed to the Mandarins. I love my scooter. Best personality. Might not be the most colorful....but anyone who comes over and sees my tank, thats what they notice first...well minus nemo. lol. Also they have them in the red variety also. Mine eats mostly mysis and swims with the clowns for food during feeding time. And he is nice and fat

 

[reeferstace]

Fairy or flasher wrasse.

 

[aleonn]

I'd get a McCosker's or Carpenter's flasher wrasse. Colorful, and won't get too big for your tank (3" adult size).

I try to avoid picking other people's fish, it depends on what you like. I notice all of your fish are species that spend most of their time around the LR or the bottom; like your Eagles? (heh, heh, heh, ) Your Blenny is coming from LA in California; but LAs home is in Northern Wisconsin. maybe that closeness to Green Bay will rub off and you'll have a fish that spends most of its time near the top. Seriously though, the upper 2/3 of your tank is probably pretty fish-free most of the time.
