I have 2 percula clowns right now and am thinking of what my next fish should be. I love the regal tang but don't have room for it. I'm looking for a replacement. Plus my husband wants a blue or blue and white fish for Kentucky Wildcats colors. He is still trying to convince me to get a regal tang anyway.
So does anyone have any suggestions for a blue or blue and white addition to a 30 gallon fowlr w/ 2 clowns? And if you have a pic please post it too.
Thank you!

i dont think you would want a blue headed wrasse although theyy are pretty they are pure evil. but they are active as can be. but i had a paddlefin wrasse and he terrorized my gold stripe maroons and my anthias.

That picture doesnt do the fishie justice. the yellow on his back is bright, and the blue and black fins look neon! He also is a character in the tank!
We like him!!!:happyfish

Hmmmm...actually I was considering some sort of damsel but have heard they are testy. Opinions on that?? I am looking for a fish more of a royal/neon/electric blue, something along those lines with a little white.
Can I have a pygmy angel in a 30g and if so can I get one in bright royal blue?
Any other ideas?

Sounds to me like you're describing a blue neon goby. They're bright blue with a white stripe. They also like to eat parasites and dead skin off your fish so they serve as cleaners too. Only problem with em is they're so small. LOL I'm afraid of one getting frapped by my return pump since it could probably fit into my overflow.

the blue damsel is very neon blue.. but yes, it can get testy.. but i've never seen mine bother my ocellaris.. even though the blue damsel was there first... up to you.. but it should't be a problem.. my blue damsel only bothers the other damsels and the lawnmower blenny

You guys help a lot-thanks! I am leaning toward a blue damsel, maybe blue devil or azure damsel OR a pygmy angel, maybe cherub. Any pics of these 3 fish that you have - or similar ones?!
Thank you!

OH, and how many other fish could I have if I get a pygmy angel vs a damsel? I just have the 2 clowns right now in a 30g.
