    Default Choose my next fish

    Believe it or not I only have two fish in my 125 mostly softie reef. A Purple Tang and a Six Line Wrasse and they get along just fine.
    What I am looking from all of you on RC is what should be the next fish I get.

    Here are some conditions:
    It must get along with the other inhabitants of the tank including the clean up crew.
    No coral eaters.
    No fish that the tank will be too small for them.
    Price does not really matter.
    There are snails, stars, and crabs in the tank for clean up.

    Lets see what you all come up with and list why you think your choice(s) would be right for my tank.

    well you have alot of options.

    clown gobies
    blue green reef chromis
    blue reef chromis
    pseudochromis maybe all depends on there attitude
    orchid dottyback
    pair of peacful clowns
    mandarins pair but they like cocopods and micro organisms all depends on how long the tank has been up for.

    anthias are really beautiful like randall's anthias or lyrtail and square backs, fat heads they all are cool

    those are just a few so good luch on choosing.
    what can you do when you live in a shoe and you ain\'t got no soul.

    If you are looking to add some visual activity to your tank, I'd say add a school of small green chomis, we've got 11-12 of them in our 180 now. They are cheap ($4-5) and very peaceful, they don;t bully the other inhabitants, and aren't afraid of anything (even our big sailfin), but really make a difference in the reef. It's really pretty cool to watch them school up and roam about all day long, a big splash of color. For a 125 maybe drop the numbers down to 6-8.
    Every electronic device is manufactured with smoke stored deep inside... only a true genius can find a way to set it free.

    Will the Blue Reef Chromis be as mellow as the Greens?
    I absolutely do not want to introduce any fin nippers to my tank.
    Happy Reefing!
