After looking at multiple sites I've decided to add yet another to the possibilities list. Yes it goes against what some on here are saying so blast away. Are you ready?
Heniochus Butterfly -bannerfish
Most sites I'm looking at suggest a min tank size of 55gal for this guy and imply he is rather hardy for a butterfly fish. Any thoughts????

I just got done cycling my tank and I'm a newbie too! The first fish I added to my aquarium was a engineer gobie aka convict blenny. At first I didn't really want him because he wasn't a bright color (he's black and white) but he's awesome! This little guy just keeps shoveling under the sand and makes little burrows!

He's so cute when he pops his head out underneath the sand. Plus he doesn't really look like a regular fish. He's kinda eel looking and when he gets older he'll have horizontal strips. Nice fish for a beginner!
