Recommend one last fish for my 90

[trmiv]

So I'm ready to add one last fish to my 90 (ok, maybe second to last), and I'm unsure what to get. Currently I have a Black Cap Basslet, Bangaii Cardinal, Yellow tang, and a true percula. I want something that does a fair amount of swimming. I'm hesitant about trying another fairy wrasse because the last two I've purchased have died. One died in quarantine, and the other right after he was transferred from quarantine (same time as the Black cap, which is still going strong). They were very small fairies though, less than 2", so maybe a larger one would be better. So, any suggestions?

How about some type of smaller angel?

I'd be a bit concerned about coral and clam nipping. I always seem to get "that fish" that does those things.

My Midas Blenny is always swimming out in the open begging for food and is my favorite fish. He swims in a kind of eel like motion and has a ton of personality. Mine eats all small or finely chopped meaty foods.

I agree on the midas blenny. I never thought of getting one until someone local was parting out their tank and had a beautiful one. It has great personality and nice colors. I think it's a great choice.

That looks like a fish my wife would like, cute face.

Bicolor Blenny. They are colorfull and they swim alot .

Here are some pics of mine. Sorry for the blurryness. He is realy fast and swims alot.

This pic is just bad all together.

Mine swims, then hops from rock to rock, then swims some more.

I've heard bicolors are clam nippers though.

My Bicolor is completly reef safe. I gues they are kinda like Copper Band butterfly.

I agree on the clam nipping with bicolors, I had one that I had to remove because he would not leave the clam alone.

 

[hgbarwick]

Well they may not be clam safe but other corals are good to go.

My vote is for my latest and new favorite fish, the Scribbled Rabbit. He leaves the other fish alone, swims all day and most of the night, and is a complete pig at feeding time. I only have a few corals in the tank but he has not looked twice at them. I bought him to help out with a green hair algea issue. I didn't think he would take care of it in 2 days!

As I thought, my wife loves the midas blenny, so that is a definite. With a fish that size, I can probably add another small fish as well.
