    Got my Purple Tang! Had him about a month & he's looking great. We currently have a watchman goby & a fireshrimp - but I'm thinking I would like another fish. Any ideas?

    there are TONS of possibilities. I had clowns, 2 other tangs and a Royal Gramma. the purple is a very active fish, so fishthat are tough to feed may be an issue. Enjoy the purple tang, they are awesome fish. I dearly miss mine.

    I would do a flame angel fish, they are really colorful, reefsafe IME... of what ive heard they are 50/50..

    you could also get a pair of clown fish. they are some really cool ones out there.
    RedGambit has a nice pair of clowns.

    maybe a foxface? or a small school of chromis?
    anthias? lol there are tons of nice fish out there.

    Haha, They pretty much are all black now. But have a hint of red/orange in them still. There are some crazy clownfish out there. I know you have a tang already, purple none the less. But I would suggest a Two Spot Bristletooth tang. They are amazing, not very big I believe they get up to 7-8 inches max size. I just received one from LA.. And Im in love! lol.

    Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Two Spot Bristletooth Tang

    I got the small size, and let me tell you, it came small! bout an 1.25" lol.
