beginner reef question

[bearfan-28]

I have a 45 gallon and was just wondering what some of your suggestions would be for fish since a have such a small tank. I have a perc clown right now and was wondering what else you guys have that is small and really cool. thanks for your help

Here's some of the types of fish I would suggest. Obviously you couldn't put all of them in there, but you could pick and choose a few to add over time.
Bangaii Cardinal
Pajama Cardinal
Chalk Basslet
Firefish (Red or Purple)
Clown Goby
Dwarf angel (as long as you have plenty of live rock)
Green Chromis
Fairy Wrasse

thanks! anybody else out there have any suggestions. I am going to with either a coral beauty or flame angel, but have not decided, and also love the cardinal fish

Yeah Polar hit it on the head. I could also suggest a mandarin if you have enough rock and your system is at least 6 months old. They need to eat. Stay away from pseudochromas or dottybacks even though most of them are cheap. They are mean as hell. Another suggestion would be a yellow watchman goby. Very cool fish, one of my favs...

How about another perc to pair up with the one you have? They are very interesting to watch in pairs. Royal Grammas are also great fish for smaller tanks.
