What is better for an SPS tank?

[Maxi]

So, I am still deciding on the ultimate decision as to what final fish to get.

I am debating between:
2 Royal Gramma basslets

or

1 dwarf cherub angelfish.

Any other options you could think of?

 

[LobsterOfJustice]

What else you got?

 

[tcmfish]

What are the other fish? And why not a pair of cherubs? (My vote goes for the cherub.)

 

[Maxi]

Oops, sorry!
I forgot to mention...

I have a 26g bowfront, with lots of corals. SO many, that they are starbing, so I need the extra poop.

Fish
Lawnmower blenny
2 true perculas
1 sixline wrasse

 

[tcmfish]

I would go with a pair of cherubs!

 

[Maxi]

There won't be any agression issues with them being a pair?

 

[tcmfish]

Initially yes, but it WILL be fine after a few days. Get a big one and a small one or two small ones with a little size difference and introduce them together. If you have to add one first add one then get a smaller one. They will pair up.

When you add them together I find it sometimes useful to turn the lights off for a couple days or if you have an established fish to keep the new guy isolated in a see through container so they can't fight.

I personally wouldn't add a pair of cherubs in a 26 gallon, IMO, that would be too much bio-load with what you already have in there.

Why don't you just buy some food for your corals...

 

[Maxi]

I want to add more fish because I am not home all day until late, and I cannot feed things patiently because I have more things to do once I get home. So, I just feed the fish, and they poop; and feed the coral.

 

[Maxi]

What about a royal gramma and a cherub?

 

[CarlC]

You might have some problems with the perc's and cherubs. Most clowns are pretty territorial.
If it were me I'd trade in the perc's and get the cherubs!

IMO... both of the fish you listed are very poor choices for your tank.

 

[Maxi]

Please explain why?

 

[Maxi]

Guys?

 

[Maxi]

hmm...

 

[tcmfish]

I say try the angel, you can pair it if you want.
