need ideas for new fish

[modracer]

i am looking to add another fish to my tank and was hoping to get some advice on which would be best. i have a 75gal w/100lbs live rock has been up for 6mo i only have 2 false perc clowns that were added 4mo ago i figured if everything went good for 6 mo then i would begin to add fish. all my readings have been excellent for last 5 months even had lfs double check. i would like to add 1 or even 2 new fish at this time. I am looking for a bright [color not IQ] active fish. i have only been at this for 6 months so i am not ready for anything that requires expert care thanx in advance for any and all replies

Holy cow, talk about patience, you are the perfect example we should all follow. Wow.:yes: If I liked tangs I'd say a tang, but mine just croaked and I hate tangs, I kill tangs....but you didn't say.........are you reef or not? That depends on what people can suggest. man...so patient. Too bad you can't bottle that, I could use some!!!! Great luck to you!:yes:

btw, why do you want a dumb fish and not a smart one?

(Excuse me, I'm in mourning.)

A royal gramma, purple firefish or fairy wrasse would be a nice addition. In a couple months if all is still going well, maybe one of the dwarf angels. You could add the gramma and firefish simultaneously given their size. Wait a few weeks and then look at one of the others.

How about a Anthias or tang. The pink one SURE IS BRIGHT maybe a panther grouper although it eats meaty foods.

i would sugest one thing ,and that is that get the fish that is hardy nothing like angel or buterfly, because u canot add any medicen in tank if u have a lr . and u wana start with a which is a lil cheap to start with , my sugestion is yelow tang, kole tang, fox face and few shrimps , these three fishes should not cost u more than $100, and they look good and r hardy , if u gona add yelow tang add it last , because they do get teretorial, so good luck and i hope this will help

Flame Haw's are quite attractive and very fun to watch.

thanx for all the great input still kinda undecided i was leaning toward a flame angel but maybe my tank is not mature enough at 6mths? i also read somewhere that flames will nibble on anemones is this true?

havn't heard of flames nibbling on anenomes, but they will munch small coral polyps. It kind of depends where you want to go with your tank as to what you should get. Sounds like you are good at doing your research and planning ahead. As long as you are not planning on going with corals later, a flame angel, or any of the dwarf angels would be a good bet.
