I have a 90 gallon reef tank with the following fish;
coral beauty
diamond goby
kole tang
maroon clown
I want to add one more fish, not to big. I'm looking for one with the most personality as the most important trait, color is second. anyone have any ideas?

u could always get like a moorish idol sticker or something, extremely compatible and colorful i may add, one of the hardiest of all the stickers. but for real id say if u wanted to spend a bit of money get a blue dot jawfish, or a blue jaw trigger male. maybe a firefish, way cheaper and just as pretty

LOL a sticker should be easy to take care of. Just need to make sure it doesn't get wet

I do like the triggers, such personality.

ya just make sure its a blue jaw or blue chin, other triggers will DESTROY ur tank, they have a "snapping" issue just look at nearly any trigger thread and u will find they will randomly start killing things

I did extensive research on triggers before I bought my Kole and actually considered a Hawaiian black trigger which is also reef safe but was unable to get one. I couldn't find one available.

i wouldnt just cuz the yellows can be a bit aggressive and in a tank thats smaller than they should have....

huma huma does have a lot of personality. Lawnmower blenny is fun to watch. I also have a dusky jawfish my husband calls my pocket gopher fish. He loves to dig sand out from under the rocks.

May I suggest a Dwarf Fuzzy Lionfish. Mine follows me around, always hanging out at whichever end is close to me, and he's not aggressive to the other fish. Your fish would be big enough to not be snacks in my opinion.

i second the fuzzy dwarf.
no trigger, imo, belongs in a 90gal tank. i also wouldn't risk one in a reef.

Hmm my wife does want a lion fish and I was going to setup another tank for those but when I think about it and since they don't seem to be to aggresive then maybe I could have one and save a few thousand dollars on setting up another tank. But I just got to take a look a that Zebrasoma gemmatum and see what it looks like first.

Uhh, ok Gem tang (spotted tang) Zebrasoma gemmatum, choke uh $3,499.00 I'll just get one tomorrow.

I would never spend that much on a fish. I think they should just leave them in the ocean. I can't believe it's the most asked for fish on the planet, whoever is catching these is probably making a ton of money.

How about a Flame Hawkfish. They are supposed to have alot of personality. It's next on my list anyway

O ya i saw one of those zabrasoma gemmana(spelling) on a different site and it was that expensive it was 2 1/2 in. I think for 3,500.00 it was so beautiful i had to get it so I did!
JUST KIDDING (I'm just a kid how would I be able to afford something like that) It would be awsome to get one some day---When i win the lottery
