    Default Fish ideas?

    Soon I'll be looking into adding 1-2 more fish. I'm looking for ideas. Goby/Pistol Shrimp is already a possibility. Current fish are, Bi-Colored Blenny, Royal Gramma and a Banggai Cardinal.
    I'm thinking the Royal Gramma may play a big part in any decisions, right?

    Me too. But ATM I'm kind of unhappy with it. Keeps spitting sand all over the place. Not sure how to remedy the issue

    I'd go with a fairy wrasse of some sort, provided you have a net lid. Maybe a clown fairy, or an orange back would be a good option?

    You need some clownfish. Something other than occy clowns. I'm personally a fan of orange skunks.

    Clowns are mean and have no problem biting the hand that feeds them-lol. Besides just about every tank I see has clowns, I'm not at all interested in them.
    Now a Wrasse I would love, but I've no top. Are they all jumpers?

    That is simply not true. Maroon clowns maybe, but not at all clowns are mean.

    A lot of tanks also have royal gramma, bi-colored blenny or Banggai cardinalfish too... right? Also, to clarify, most tanks have ocellaris clownfish (mine included).

    Roflmao!! Tom are we having our first argument? I'm just not a Clown fan. I feel the same way about Yellow and Hippo Tangs. Everybody has them. Or so it seems to me. It's like I'm sick of them without ever having owned one. It's actually kind a sad
    Hopefully you'll come up with other ideas for me

    I prefer the term "friendly debate"! I'm not sure what there is to argue about though. You don't like clownfish, and I don't like broad statements that are not true.

    After your response to my clownfish recommendation, I'll pass on making any additional suggestions. I'm sure whatever you get will be cool.

    Guess you missed my attempt at humor. Sorry to have offended you.
