    Spotted Sweetlips are fun to watch.. But they get about 4 inches long and they grow quickly...

    If you were in Arkansas, I would give you 3 damsels that I wish would disappear.. Biggest mistake in the world was getting them, mostly cause I don't like them and they keep digging up my sand and i'm getting tired of having to get the turkey baster out and cleaning my rocks....

    *hint* damsels are lil'rodent fish in my view...

    I like the idea of a six line. I am a fan of the wrasses.

    I recommend a coral beauty. They stay small and are very very active in the tank. The will swim around forever and ever.
    I also have a royal gramma. I likie him. He darts in and out of the rocks.

    What about an engineer goby? He stays under the rocks and diggs tunnels. Cool thing is, he will eat things that float under the rocks and through crevices. He's a good oen to get to keep areas of the tank clean that most fish cant fit into.

    Thats my two cents.

    What not to get: chromis or damsels and for this reason only: If you arent sure if you like them from the get-go, dont get them because getting them out will be hell haha.

    Good luck!
    Cheers.
