new fish

[hepp87]

Currently, I already have a yellow tang, a black perc clown, a purple firefish, and a diamond goby in my 55 fowlr. I am contemplating putting another fish in and if I do what fish. Does anybody have any ideas on what fish I should get next. I plan on getting power compacts to start a reef later down the road so I only want reef safe fish. Thanks.

Just IMO but I really love the colors of the anthias! Great color and they generally don't get very big. Check em out first though!

[vi3tb0i]

You DON'T want a mandrin

 

[vi3tb0i]

y wouldnt he want a madrin

 

[puffer32]

Cause his tank isn't big enough unless he can grow pods constantly to feed the mandrin.

55gal isnt good enough i am gonna buy one for my 29gal i have 100's of pods on my glass

 

[puffer32]

And what happens after the mandrin eats all the pods and your tank can't reproduce them fast enough because you don't have enough LR to support pods? That is a foolish thing to do, you need to do research before you buy fish

Puffer is absolutely correct.

Go with a Midas Blenny...they are beautiful fish with a lot of personality...

go w/ something small. The only problem could be the territorial nature of the YT who will be a bit miffed on introducing a new tankmate. I would go w/ a dwarf angel as long as your tank has been up and free of problems for 5-6 months.good luck.
