Ideas for my new 75

[whodini6]

OK so my 75 gallon has been up and running for about a months now and it has completed its cycle so i am getting ready to get my first fish. I was just looking for some good ideas on what tyep of fish i should get. Lots of color and personality is always good. Please help me figure this out.

Do you have live rock and sand? Are you planning on going reef or just sticking with fish only?

A midas blenny all the way!
Soooo personable and loves attention. Get it time to get comfortable in the tank and when it's ready you'll never see it hice. Mine hid for two days & spooked easily for those 2 days-but after that, it was smooth sailing!

Good hardy beginner fish include clowns, gobies, basslets, cardinals, blennies, certain wrasses.
For a 75; pair of ocellaris clowns, a royal gramma or blackcap basslet, three pajama cardinals, a carpenter's flasher wrasse and a yellow watchman goby. All will stay small enough to keep forever, and all are reef safe. The midas blenny mentioned is also nice, but they can pick on smaller peaceful fish so add it last if you went with one.

Personally, I would get some clowns/w anenome and maybe some gobies. I also like royal grammas too.
