Fish suggestion anyone?

[jon in tx]

I need to add a couple of fish to my 90gal fish-only tank and wanted to ask for suggestions. My preferences (in order) are colorful, active, low maintenance & semi-hearty fish that are the low $ end. Suggestions?

On a related note, how much does shipping cost on swf.com if order is less than $79?
FYI - I currently have long tentacle anenome, occelaris clown and big clean-up crew (crabs, snails) which is listed in 'reef package' on this website.

SWF does not process any order under $79
Fish you may like would be: firefish - scooter blenny - clownfish - flame angel - chromis (grouped) - there are numerous others - just take your time and look at all of them and then use your own criteria to determine which to get and also check for compatibility. Good luck

My suggestion would be a fox face.

You have to tell us what you already have in their now before we can tell you what you can put in there with it!!!

Dwarf angels are nice, look into the coral beauty, flame angel, flameback.

He said that there's a clownfish and anemone plus a clean up crew.

Sixline Wrasse
Citron clown gobby
They would be pretty small in that big of a tank but I always liked these 2.
Flame angel would go good but there kind of expensive.

About SWF minimum; they can't afford to ship less than the $79 minimum and guarentee the stuff for 14 days---I don't know how they do it at their prices. My experience with them is great. Find a friend to split an order.

If I were you I would look into a Flagfin Angel or a lemon peel. I love angels and as long as your water is good, they will thrive.

Great suggestions - thanks.

There are so many fish and so little time - this helped me go quickly to some good ones. The bad news most of them were not readily available on swf (sixline wrasse, citrus clown goby). I don't like the idea of a foxface (possible sting) because I have to hand feed my anenome.

I'm disapointed about $79 shipping min... am relucant to put several fish in at once or spend that much on one fish.

court jester goby, foxface (my first choice), pigmy angels, snowflake eel (maybe not depending on what you have) butterfly fish, and a firefish. those would be my picks.

Royal gramma, fire fish, yellow tang, mitis blenny, one of the hawk fish, a butterfly, a dwarf angel, it is really hard to narrow down unless you give a little more info an kind of tank. FO, FOWLR, or reef.
Good Luck

Thanks!

I really like that pigmy angel - added to my wish list! I've never seen one in a LFS! I've had a snowflake eel before and took him back after a while (hides too much). I'm having trouble locating the others you mentioned on swf.com. Can you be more specific or match the wording they have listed here? (what category is firefish in?; can't find a 'court jester' in the Goby section??)

Saltwaterfish.com doesnt necesarilly sell all the fish that people suggest, but yes a firefish would be in the goby section.
