Im looking for a smallish blue fish....
Im thinking Regal Tang... But im getting a yellow tang so they'll probably not get along...
So im thinking maybe a Neon Damsel (they're gorgeous) but can they be a bit agressive?
Ive got a leopard wrasse and she reeeally doesnt like anything agressive...
Any ideas or tips?
I also have a maroon clown, watchman goby and a bannerhead butterflyfish.

you can probably get 3 blue green chromis, they school and are veery fun. dont get a regal tang. they won't fight,but your tank is way too small to have a regal. also you will need to upgrade your tank once your yellow tang gets to it's full size, actually not full. how much LR,LS etc. .

My tank's like 4ft by 1.5ft by 2.2ft or something like that. Pretty big but almost full now :p
I have no idea how much the rock weighs or whatever.
Heres a pic a made earlier :p Cut the ends off though cos i was really just trying to get all my fish in :p Add about another 10 inches on there i guess...
Sorry about the mess. Im randomly having an algae bloom at the mo, lol.

Neat tank. I think if you add the yellow tang and a damsel, you'll be overstocked. The heniochus will outgrow your tank as it is. I would pesonally hold off on any tangs. If you want some yellow and blue in a small fish, try the yellow belly blue damsel. They are also on the "tame side " as far as damsels go.

Its a bit of a weird situation though. My watchman goby NEVER comes out from behind the rock... And halfway through the day the wrasse goes to bed and doesnt come out until morning, lol. So i mostly only ever see the other 2...
Damn, id love a yellow tang....

sounds like a 55 or 65gal tank....either way..too small for a Regal tang.

everthing is accurate accept I would not consider them as "easy". they are very prone to ich and stress easily. &0g may also be a bit on the small size for a fish as active and big as the hippo.

im not sure on your lighting but you might be able to get some blue muchrooms, they require fairly low light and well spread quickly through your tank or they have several dwarm angels that are blue, such as the bluefin, coral beauty, bicolor, and some others

The pygmy angel is deep royal blue with some yellow. They stay quite small and love to swim like crazy. IMO would look very cool buzzing around your tank.
