Reef Fish Advice

[bsmith065]

I have a 90 gallon, some leather corals, an anenome, lots of crabs, snails, fire shrimp, scarlet skunk cleaner, and a few urchins.

FISH: Blue Tang, Yellow Tang, 2 x False Perc Clowns

Would like to get a few more fish and am looking for some thoughts.

We really like the longnose hawkfish, but I'm a bit afraid he may eat my cleaner shrimp (although they are good sized)

Other candidates include a long nose butterfly, foxface rabbitfish.

Finally we were looking to add a "green" fish, and were looking in the Wrasse family (Scott's or Exquisite Wrasse from Fiji).

We're open to ideas, but would like to add maybe one med/lg fish (foxface/butterfly etc) and two smaller fish (hawkfish, wrasse)

Hmmm, how about a firefish always a nice addition to a reef and maybe a goby or two?...

As for a green fish, green chromis? Or the wrasse's yuh.

As for another "show" fish as that's what you seem to be after, a nice butterfly if you can make sure it's feeding would go down a treat

Good tips... keep them coming.

As you surmised we're more into the fish than the coral, but like the look of the reef with a few things in it.

Oh, and I have two kids under 4 y/o so "Finding Nemo" is the must for now (Blue = Dory, Yellow = Bubbles, Clowns = Marlin/Nemo, Cleaner = Jacques)....

Hmm, what about the Heniochus Black & White Butterflyfish / Longfin Bannerfish?

Looks abit like Gill from finding nemo

(Heniochus acuminatus)

N.b. not my image

Looks like a moreish idol but easier, in thoery to keep...

This is another thought... and a great one.

I've heard there are two close looking fish and one is a terror in a reef and one is not. Which is right (bannerfish)?
