I currently have 1 female maroon clownfish (she's very docile for a maroon) a engineer goby, a neon goby, skunk cleaner shrimp, hermit crabs, lots of fanworms, and sessile inverts. I also have some chaeto and caulerpa growing. What kinds of reefsafe fish can i add to my current mix that wont fight. This is a 30gl tank and its got lots of coral in it. Plenty of caves cracks and hiding spots too. I just gave away a mandarin and a pajama cardinal. I was considering a six line wrasse (tank raised). Any other suggestions? Oh my tank has been set up about a year now
Best regards,
Ryan
 
We just got a sixline wrasse for our newer tank and it is a really neat fish. They love to swim in an out of the rock, very fun to watch. The royal gramma or firefish are very pretty and hearty but from my experience they don't swim in and out of the rock at all. I think the only ones I know that do for a tank your size are the wrasse and angelfish. I have a coral beauty and we just got an eibli angel (two separate tanks, not together!) and they haven't bothered the corals at all. They both swim in and out of the rocks a lot and the eibli is probably by favorite fish now, he is so beautiful and the way he swims around he looks like a little kid exploring a new playground lol. I made a thread about angels a few days back when i was deciding and they told me that most angels besides the pygmy angel are too large for a 30g though, so I don't know if you are one of the ones that feel similarly. Just suggesting.
 
I am probably gonna end up getting a six line but im very interested in a small angelfish, what does yours eat?
 
I'm also very interested in a fairy wrasse but i know i cant have that and a six line. What about one or the other of the wrasses and a green clown goby?
 
Well i ended up getting a Falco Hawkfish and so far he is a big hit! He definatly gets along with my cleaner shrimp, in fact he is the only fish in my tank that will sit still and allow a examination. I am watching my neon goby and camel shrimps but so far he has shown no interest in them. So now my fish inhabitants are:
Maroon Clown
Falco Hawkfish
Engineer Goby
Neon Goby
I think i could add one more small fish to this mix, do you think a six line could fit in with the mix still?

I've been considering a Flame Hawkfish for my tank once it gets setup, so let me know who your hawk does with the shrimp in your tank.

our angel eats just about everything, including the brain coral we put in there :mad2: so we had to move the brain back into the other tank.
