Favorite Fish

[sestrada]

My tank is in the final stages of the cycle and I'm starting to plan my stock. I know I want two Ocellaris Clownfish and possible a Regal Tang. What else are good fish to get? What are you favorite fish that you own that have nice color to them and good personalities?
I have a 72g tank with 60lbs of LR and 3 inch of sand.

hmm i would scratch the tang,
maybe a flame , or coral beauty angel
dwarf lion fish
royal gramma
try to look thru a lot of books and pick what u like then find out who is going to get along with who and who isnot going to be too big for your tank

I like the fairy wrasses. Most are peaceful, very colorful, and reef safe. They grow to 4 or 5 inches max. I like the pygme angles but you can only keep one per tank. My bicolor blenny is easy to feed (eats anything) and fun to watch. Royal gammas are colorful and peaceful. Good luck, Lesley

i love my royal gramma. he eats anything and i can watch him for hours. he burrows under rocks by scooping up the sand in his mouth and spitting it out the hole

i got a purple firefish a few days ago that i absolutly love. great colors! i have read before that they can be skiddish and timid and hide a lot of the time, but mine has been out in the open all day since i've had him
