    So I am brand new to the saltwater game, and im looking for some ideas for fish to put in my reef tank. Currently I have 4 black and white damsels, which I was told would probably want to remove when adding other fish due to their aggressive nature.

    I would like to get a pair of clowns because I do love their interaction and seem to be a fun to watch fish.

    Other than that Probably a sand sifting goby to keep sand clean.


    Looking for your best ideas. I have a 110 gal tank 35 gal sump, led lighting, spent tons of money and now looking to enjoy it!!1


    I would appreciate any suggestions ;D

    You can't go wrong with clowns. although watch out for maroon clowns and tomato clowns, they have a reputation of being mean and territorial as well.

    IMO all gobies and blennies rule! just gotta find a favorite.

    A good thing to do is go to liveaquaria.com and just go through the fish they have listed. they will provide great pics and some good reliable info on them as well.

    And don't pair up fire clowns - just know that when clowns pair up they can become aggressive.
    In a 110 a sailfin would be a nice addition - one of the most dynamic fish I have witnessed is the royal gamma.

    Clowns are nice I have a pair of semi-picassos, but I actually really like clarkii's! I think I would get a pair if i had to do it again. If I were you and you planned on removing the damsels I would do it now because you are probably going to have to tare all the rocks down in order to catch them all.

    agree with all comments so far tbh!!!! a scooter blenny could be a nice addition, or perhaps a blue cheek goby?? good luck and let us all know what you opted for!!
