I'm looking for some cool fish I can keep in my 46 gal bowfront? I love the look of the tangs, but I can't keep those in a 46. Any suggestions? I have a coral beauty, clown, firefish, and a foxface which i'll be gettign rid of because he's too big.

How about a few cardinals. I like the pajama, also the banner(banghi, not sure of spelling) are super awesome, especially if you have halides to accant the silver.
Would post a link or picture if I knew how, but I'm sure you can find them both on this site!

I have Ocellaris clown, I do like the bangaii cardinals but I've had two and they've both died quickly for some reason.

Oh, yeah, if u get the cardnals, might want to get rid of the fox first. Not sure, but he may pick on them. Also, keep an eye on the coral beauty, if its been in there a while, might be territorial. But, IMO, shouldn't be a problem.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah, I bought 3 pajamas and three bangi for my tank. The pajamas are doing fine, but lost all bangi by the next day.
One didn't even make it thru acclimation process.
Think there was something wrong with them before I got them, But not sure and afraid to try to get any more.
How about a royal gramma for color.
Do you have a sand bed? If so you could get a prawn gobie and a tiger pistol shrimp to add character to your tank.
Also, a sixline wrasse is very colorful and useful for potential parasite problems.
Just keep in mind the last two fish are jumpers, so u need a tight lid for them.
