which yellow fish?

[darthmatt]

hello,
I want to buy a bright yellow fish. I want to know a good one, based on Hardiness, compatibility and so on. Right now, I have a 110gal and a 20 gallon fuge. The only fish is a domino and a red-lip blenny.
This website states that a yellow tang is easy to care for but all I read on here is that they are kind off hard to care for. I was thinking of a lemonpeel or a yellow angel.
What do you think of these fish.
thanks matt

Any of the fish you mentioned would be a good addition.

but which is the easiest to care for? Are yellow tangs sensitive to water conditions? Also, SWF.com says lemonpeels are moderate to care for. I'm still kind of new so I need to stick with less sensitive fish. thanks matt

None of the fish you mentioned are easy. They all have special needs but it sounds like you have all the necessary components.
A Royal Gramma is half Yellow....

Also, my fuge gets covered in hair algea after about a week, I thought the plants were to starve out hair algea. The main tank is clean so I guess it is working. So I thought I would put a LMB in the the fuge, how does that sound? matt

Yes I have thought of a gramma, also an anthias. But I wanted one that was a little bigger and would swim around a lot.

LMBs generally don't eat hair algae...
If it's not too bad, and keep your main tank clean, I would say leave it be...IMO

actually it's not so much hair algea but green slimey algea, do LMB eat that kind. And it is really bad. It covers the sand the rock and even all of the plants leaves.

how about a Yellow Wrasse very hardy i hve one in my 80, i think he is so cool especially when he dives into the sand and pops his head out

A yellow tang has to be one of the easiest fish I have had. All you have to do is make sure you keep a seaweed leaf in there and feed them formula 1. At least that's what I've been doing with mine and he has been great. Also, make sure you have lots of rock work for the tang.

I do have a lot of rockwork for the tang, maybe I'll give it a shot. As far as wrasses, I haven't thought of those, they definately swim a lot which is what I want. Thanks for your inputs. matt

I have a lemonpeel angel in my FOWLR & it's a really pretty fish. Very bright yellow. It's also very active. It grazes on my live rock all day.
