I've asked before, but I'd like a refreshed list of fish I could get for my 80 gal bow front...
Currently I have:
2 true Percs
1 Huge Lawnmower Blenny
3 blue/green chromis
1 Royal Gramma
1 diamond goby
1 Serpent star
few red and blue hermits
couple of emerald crabs
1 mean CBS
some snails
1 cleaner shrimp
1 fire shrimp
a few small corals (rock of mushrooms, a toadstool, small xenia, small zoos, and a devils hand)
Sooooo.....I need a couple more fish! Reef safe please that would get along with my crew!
P.S. sadly, we lost my "Sal" (SLF crab - he wasnt feeling too hot for about a week before he passed - bad molt possibly).

What about a male/female lyretail anthias? They're feeding requirements will put you right at the limit though. What about any of the fairy or flasher wrasses? (not my cup of tea though)

Several have told me these were hard to keep....

Anthias are generally somewhat hard, some species are extremely hard, but lyretails are the hardiest out of the bunch. The two main problems with anthias are that they sometimes come in with intestinal worms and they have higher feeding requirements. If you only buy good looking specimens, that do not have a shrunken body behind the head, and feed well (2-3 times daily) you'll have good success.

think CBS + other shrimp = bad for said other shrimp. And defiantly some fairy/flasher wrasses.

re: CBS - I know...I'm trying to catch him and return him to LFS! He's a mean crafty sucker! I've tried for 2 weeks to catch him - no luck....I've tried after lights go out with baited trap....he would rather scavage the sand or rock than go in the trap.

I love the Scots Fairy.....this will do ok with my other fish and my CuC (providing I get that nasty CBS out)? Also cant find any that arent smaller than 3" too big to start with! All my other fish are pretty small (a little over 1")
Also, am I nearing the end of my max of fish stock to have in a tank this size?
