My Wife Wants A Blue Fish

[tervman]

My wife would like to add "something blue" to our 55G FOWLR tank...something nice and easy going.
Anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking about a bi-color angel, or something that would look like a juvi large angel, but won't get as big as a large angel when full grown.
Thanks.

ever think of a niger trigger they are beautiful IMO

NEON GOBIES!!! They are SOOO cute!!!

 

[bang guy]

Chromis. If you have enough rock a Coral Beauty might fit the bill.

What about a coral or a sponge, real pretty blues out there!!

OOOOps jus saw the FO/LR

I don't think a trigger is what my wife is looking for, and we already have green chromis, so I would like to select something other than another color chromis.
Just curious....how fast do juvi large angels grow? If I got one, with the plans to move it to my planned 240G (which should materialize in the next year) would that be :yes: or :nope: ?
If the juvi angel is a :nope: , does anyone have any other ideas?

If you are really upgrading, you could probably get a tiny hippo tang IMO.

Stick to your Coral Beauty or Bi-color...they are both beautiful fish and fairly easy on the tank inhabitants...and either would make a good addition in the 240.

Thanks for the suggestions....does anyone else have any they would like to add?

How about a Blue Devil Damsel, they are hardy and they are really a pretty Blue. Specially with the MH. Just a thought

what about a pigmy/ cherub angel they're blue (dark but still blue)

You could get a yellow headed jawfish they are some what blue. But you need a some what deep sand bed heres a pic.

Get a Blue Assessor. They are hardy, easy to keep, no special dietary needs, not aggressive and stay relatively small 3 or 4 inches I think off the top of my head. You will have to look around to find one but they are not expensive either, probably in the 20-30 buck range. Great fish to have.

Now, it's just up to my wife to decide, since this will be HER fish. :yes:

 

[pufferman]

can someone briefly summarize the rules regarding posting a reply? i also need an explanation why my thread was edited. I'm still relatively new to this forum, so it would be helpful to know these.
