    I currently have a 40 breeder reef tank. I have two snowflake clownfish and two yellowtail damsel fish. The clownfish are relocated within the month and the damsel fish will also be finding a new home (I don't really care for how aggressive they can be).

    My wife is allowing me stock the tank with the fish that I want! :) I am currently looking at getting 2 Firefish possibly. What I am really looking for are reef safe fish that are colorful and have some personality. What does everyone recommend?:confused:

    I've read that angels will eat my zoas. I would love to have a dwarf angel, but I also want to keep my corals and feather dusters alive lol.

    I'm thinking that more or less this will be my stocking list for my 40
    2 common clowns
    1 6 line/pijama wrass
    1 fire fish
    1 flame hawkfish
    some sort of goby (ideas)
    Maybe starfish
    Maybe royal/false gamma
    Maybe cherub angel
    Maybe springers dottyback

    The list is favorite to least, how far down can I get without overcrowding?
