Tank has been running for 1 year. 65lbs of LR. Current fish list: 1 bicolor angel, 1 royal gramma, 1 banggai cardinal & 1 blue/green chromis. I would like to add 1 more active/colorful fish. Any suggestions?

Try a Hippo Tang. Real colorful and active. It also comes with some personality and will get along with what you have.

how can you justify adding a fish to a 55 that gets longer than the tank is wide?
how about a sixline wrasse instead?

I stand corrected. A 55g is to small for a fully grown hippo. I started thinking about color, active and non-aggressive and lost sight of the tank size. Sorry. How about a few more Green Chromis. I know a group of them would make an interesting display. Just need to watch bioload.

what about a barracuda?? huh that could be fun. lol But I personally like the longnose hawkfish a bit better. or a sandsifting kind of goby or colorful blennie?

yellow or purple tang is my suggestion. get a small one 2 or 3 inches and if he gets too big in a a few years you can trade it in for another small one. very easy, colorful, and loads of personality. great algae grazers too!
