    I have a 75gal tank. In it I have....well read my sig....I am going to get rid of my pajama cardnials. They just don't have the personallity I would hope they would have had! They hide behind the rock and don't come out really even for feeding. So if you had what I have what would you get?:confused::confused::confused: I am wanting a mandrain dragonet when my tank is ready but the will be a while. Any suggestions?::):kiss:

    i would get a starry blenny, i like them better than alot of the other blennies, or a midas blenny, they are allways fun to watch and look cool.

    The sgt major damsel is aggressive is it not? I may be wrong. I vote Sixline wrasse.

    I love my Six-lined wrasse, although I have read that it is better to wait and put them in the tank last....

    they are aggressive however in my expierence they are only aggressive to other damsels, but once they establish a hirearchy they become peaceful. my sgt is actually quite a nice guy he doesnt even pick fights with other damsels the other must start it(and there are several much smaller ones in the tank too). i think alot of these labels about aggressiveness for saltwater fish are wrong. sure i mean there are some species like blennies that are altmost always peaceful(fang blenny excluded). i think tangs are meaner then damsels when it comes to dealling with similar fishes.

    A yellow coris wrasse is a busy swimming fish. They sleep in the sand at night, so your substrate should be sand. They are always moving around, and are pretty entertaining.

    If your going to do a wrasse I would say the yellow coris or a leopard. I personally don't like six lines. They bore me. Blennies have really neat personality or you can try a neon dottyback or something like that. Are you trying to stick with something relatively small?
