Which Reef-Safe Fish has the Most Personality?

[The Saltwater Kid]

I have a False Percula Clown, Blue/Green Chromis right now and am going to buy two Purple Firefish but am considering adding 1 more fish sometime in the near future but am undecided as to what it should be. I would want one that is active whith lots of personality that would be reef-safe. Any suggestions?

I think my flame hawk has the most personality of all my fish

 

[SDguy]

I think the common opinion in these types of threads is a blenny.

I was going to say that blennies have good personalities as well as some gobies. I've heard lots about flame hawks as well as long nose hawks.

My yellow headed jawfish wins hands down! They are hilarious and they dont take crap from any other fish! Only down side is a deep sand bed?

I'am not to sure about the reef safe part, but I had a Keyhole Angel, and a Raccoon Butterfly fish, that were both freindly and very active. Both would eat out of your hand from the start.
I have one other very active fish, it's a Bird Mouth wrasp. Make sure you research the fish you are going to choose and don't rely to much on the info you get from here.

well, as you see from my signature I only have a 29g tank so these recommendations need to be geared towards a smaller type fish and one that plays well with others but won't let my clown boss him around too much. I've thought about Blennies/Gobies too but i don't have a deep sand bed...2 - 3" at the deepest.

I've got a Falco hawk, and hes a hoot.

I second that. every time i walk into the room he swims up to the top of the tank and begs for food and he even eats out of my hand

Do I absolutely need a deep sand bed for a yellow headed jawfish? Is 2-3 inches enough?

 

[twon8]

the fish with the most personality in my tanks are lawnmower blennies, naso tang, long nose hawkfish and a powder brown tang.

Bicolor blenny and flame hawk are the two goofballs in my tank. The blenny hovers with his head up, actually kinda looks like he's standing up and looking at you. Hawk is everywhere, always looking up for food. He never starts any fights but talks smack to my other fish and tries to get them to fight each other.

Not a fish but my Skunk Cleaner shrimp is an absolute riot. Can't clean my tank without him trying to clean my hand. And when it's dinner time he swims up to the top of the tank trying to grab food out of the water. It's total comedy...

Lawnmower blenny is one hellof a riot. Mine is always people watching and always is waiting for something from me. There's also the benefit of it eating any algea you might have.

Another vote for Flame Hawk (Reef safe with caution), Bicolor Blenny and Lawnmower Blenny

My Yellow Watchman has a personality alright. He is CRABBY all of the time.

 

[CWebHokie]

another vote for the bicolor blenny... personality & colorful too

 

[siding88]

go with a blue spot jawfish to me those are the best, got a redhead jaw right now he thinks he runs the tank, price is the only problem and they jump

 

[SDguy]

Skip the jawfish with your sand bed depth.

And a lawnmower can get big. I'd say bicolor or tailspot blenny. Maybe even a midas. None of these care if you have any sand at all.

I agree hard to pick between my flame hawk and my lawnmower blenny both are characters. My favorite fish is my blue chin trigger (Leno) he and the flame hawk are good friends and eyeball each other it is a funny game they play.
