heres my bioload so far

yellow tang(gettin rid of)

 

[shista]

c mon theres gota be one good fish out there

 

[r's 75tank]

We have a Foxface Rabbitfish and we love him. He has a great personality, very colorful, changes color when scared, eating, sleeping.... Not sure if 44g is too small when full size...we have a 75g
Look him up under tangs
Don't know if that helps?

Foxface is definately out of the question, for a 44gal. tank.

 

[hawthorn]

try a purple firefish there very colourful and a realy good comunity fish

 

[ophiura]

Also, this is not a 44 rectangular tank, it is a 44 hex I think....which really changes it up. For one, it eliminates many larger fish from consideration. In time, the GS maroon clown will probably dominate and take over the tank.

 

[ryan115]

sixline wrasse would be a good addition, they are very colorful and extremely active. They are always swimming through the rocks and excellent at removing bristle worms.

Flame angel??? or other dwarf angel???

 

[yimmy]

Yeah like the a dwarf angel (flame or eibli)

 

[reef-addict]

Flame angel

 

[sawsman]

A Royal gramma or a sixline wrasse would be good colorful choices for a 44 gal.

ok my stocklist that i am going to have is..
sixline wrasse
yellow tailed damsel
GS maroon clown
royal gramma
(and i wanted some big fish that u can see from far away i dont like the foxface and the flame angel is out of my budget i am looking most 30$) would a lemonpeel angel work?)

 

[sawsman]

Lemonpeels can get pretty large and may nip at corals. The others should work good.

 

[aw2]

sixline wrasse
yellow tailed damsel
GS maroon clown
royal gramma
Those fish will max out stocking options on your tank. As Ophiura said, that GS Maroon Clown is going to dominate all, in such a small tank. If you're keeping the GS Maroon, I'd cut my fish list down to just one other fish.

 

[unleashed]

look into some reef safe wrasses dottys psudochromis there are literally thousands of brightly colored species suitable for your size tank
try this site thousands of species profiles to chose from

Shista, glad to seem you are coming around... still, however, you're going to have ot give up the "big fish in a small tank" idea. It just won't work.
