Fish only right? I love the genacanthus angels. Not as big as some of the other angels and less aggressive. The Watanabe is my favorite but pricy, a pair sure would be pretty. I also love the Lamarks it is not real flashy color wise but the black and white is very striking under lights. He could look into some of the other tangs. The yellow is quite hardy so is the kole. Maybe a hardy butterfly (this will be my next purchase). I just got an orange blotch rabbit fish today.

$200 is higher end. In my area there 120-160 usually. Even on your preferred DD they can show up cheaper

Hell DD has about the ugliest bicolor angle I’ve ever seen on sale for a mere $999.00. Makes a $200 purple tang seem cheap.

Both are great. Black cap basslets are prettier but harder to keep and like you said more expensive. They are a deeper water fish.
I have an orchid dottie back. It is beautiful and easy. I like that it is captive bred. Both are small though.

I love grammas but yeah have never been able to keep one very long. I had a fire fish with my orchid dottyback with no issues. I’m not sure how it would do with a gramma, they have the same body type. If we are talking about your cube I’d say no, not enough territory, in your dad’s 125 it might work. Dottie’s swim around more than grammas which is nice. They don’t seem to have a specific cave they live in. Mine is all over the tank in and out of the rocks.

Yeah I was considering one in my cube but I’m gonna pass...I’m at like 16 fish and it seems like when I get one another one dies so I think 16 is my magic number lol

I have a reef angel that is quite docile, just a super voracious eater.
