Hello
As many of you know I have a 30gallon, which is now stocked with 20#'s of live rock. I have 3 damsels...a clean up crew of 12 Blue leg hermits, and 5 Astrea Snails.
Im still not sure what type of fish I want to add.
Any suggestions????
Oh I will be trading in the damsels...
Any and all suggestions would be appreciated!

State small and don't overload the 30Gal. Here are my favorites:
Pygmy Angel - Coral Beauty (only get one type of pygmy angel or they will fight)
Coral Banded Shrimp - After mine got use to the tank he crawls all over even during the day.
Clown - Pick your favorite.
Royal Gramma
You may be able to keep a small tang for a while but it will adventually get to big and you will have to trade it in. My favs are yellow, blue and sailfin. I can find them pretty small at my lfs.
I kept a few damsels and they have done fine in my tank (55 gal), a Domino and blue. They are active and leave everyone alone.

Hi!
Thanks for the replys guys. I know I must have small fish due to the limited size of my tank.
I saw some very small puffers today...maybe not even an inch. I was thinking about those.
I like strange fish(dont know why)....They had some nice small little blennies that were red and white speckled. Not sure..Thats why im asking the public..Im going to try and get some pics of my tank and get them on the web.
Anyone have any info on goatfish?

Heya. The link doesn't work..
One time I asw this red goatfish in the LFS. The man was cursing it because it had torn a big hole into his net, I laughed so hard. That was when I was buying my supplies, and my tnak was not develpoed enough to add fish. I didn't even add damsels till about the 2 week or so. I wish I could find another one, he was only about an inch. I see them in the wild...the yellow striped that is. I like to follow there schools as they play in the sand.

Heres a nice combo of fish that is working for me. 1 six line wrasse(these fish are really cool). 1 Coral Beauty (Adds a little color). 1 Scooter Blenny (Pretty ugly but a great sand sifter). 1 small tang preferably regal blue or sailfin( need a lot of algea for these guys). Also you might want to try a Royal Gramma ( extremely colorful). Hope this helps a bit.

Sorry that I'm a bit late but I would like to add that the banggai cardinals are pretty cool looking any are great for reefs and fo tanks. Plus I have my eye on a bicolor blenny. I think these are nice additions to a tank.
