Did you have a suggestion? I've been considering something red for my tank as well.

lol, I read the thread title but not the whole 1st post, ugh...
Was going to say Hawaiian flame...then read there op has a flame...:headwally:...

just get a maroon clown

probably the most "red" fish there is....

 

[triggerfish55]

there is also the yellow stripe

 

[Cowdogz]

The only problem with Maroon Clowns is, the white stripes are too narrow, and the yellow stripes scream "McDonalds!"

We decided to go with flame hawks. They are happy in the qt. They are definitely the most vibrant red fish I have ever seen in person. Haven't seen much of their personalities yet but they eat a lot.

Thank you for all of the responses.

I would do a flame hawk,really are fun to watch and have great personality.Mine doesn't bother the shrimp or crabs.

+4- BUT i would recommend a bonded pair. The interaction between my pair of hawks - mario and luigi - is very entertaining

Also consider flame wrasse

Wondering if the flame hawks are as aggressive as spotted kawks? I have a spotted hawk with my pair of clowns and I had to put a divider in the tank to stop the hawk hurting my clowns:-( he had bitten their tails and lots of scales were missing, the clowns have made a full recovery. With my new tank nearly ready 60gal do you think he will be less aggressive with more fish in the tank and won't pay much attention to the fish.if not he will live in my sump witch is 30gals. Any suggestions please
