    Default Fish suggestions?

    Im looking for some suggestions on new fish that I can buy myself for christmas

    In my 120(4x2x2), I keep mainly SPS corals, a bit of LPS, currently no zoo's or softies in the display.

    My current fish are as follows:
    Blue Throat Trigger
    Tennenti (leiutenant) Tang
    Potter's Angel
    Royal Gramma
    Algae Blenny
    big fat Mandarin dragonet
    6-line wrasse
    two regular firefish


    I have no agression in the tank currently and I'd like to keep it to a minimum. I don't want damsels/chromis, I just sold off a pair of occelaris clownfish as they were getting agressive, so Im not so sure where to go.

    I have been considering a group of chalk bass (5 or so), possibly a pair of Bangai cardinals, or 3-5 pajama cardinals..

    Give me some ideas!

    Those are pretty, I had discounted anthias because of my poor luck with lyretail in the past, which apparently like a bigger tank but these are better looking albeit a bit more expensive and seem to need a little less space to roam.

    I think I can add them to the list of contenders..

    What kinds of wrasses? I like things that are active(yes i know this goes against the pj cardinal idea but they school so its a little different ) and a lot of the decorative wrasses seem to stay still more than not.

    just depends really. if you buy them small enough when they just switch to saltwater then you should be fine. they are very fun to watch in a reef. ive always wanted one but of course my tank is not big enough lol
