ive had my 100g up for a little over a year and about 3 months ago i had ick really bad and the only fish that survived was my flamehawk and a blue devil damsel. i removed all of the LR and lowered the salinity.... basically the tank is rid of the ick. so now after losing like six fish (none were over 45 bucks) i want to add some more but now feel as though i only want to add fish that are 20-25 dollars at the most, and of course cheaper ones. currently i have a porcelin crab, hermits, snails, flamehawk, and a blue devil damsel........so show me what there is..... one fish i am already considering is the pygmy angel on sale for $12 on this site, a pretty fish that is often overlooked probably due to its inexpensive price

You can get the Green chromis for about $5.99.They are one of my favorite little fish and very hardy and peaceful little guys.

My favorite fish is the lawnmower blenny. I have had one in every tank I have ever owned. They have such personalities and usually run less than $10. I don't know though with your LR coming out and what all you have done since if you would have enough algae growth to support one.
