fish ideas for a 40 breeder?

well to counter the midas blenny how about a starry blenny? brown with white dots but depending on where they are they might change colors

 

hmm i do really like the idea of a wrasse and that midas blenny is AWESOME! what about a small school of chromis, midas blenny, and some kind of wrasse?? i dont know what kind of wrasse though, i like the possum but im thinking something brighter kinda like a leopard wrasse or a sixline. any bright wrasse ideas?

 

I wouldnt get a school of Chromis. IME they start picking on each other, die off, and then you'll end up with only one left. You can try it, it might work out. If you have a DSB, a Blue Spot Jawfish would look good. They're jumpers though. Maybe a pair of Firefish (Red, purple, and Helfrichi) Heres the Jawfish:Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Jawfish, Blue Dot

And here are the species of firefish:Dartfish

 

If you have the money, a candy basslet would be a great fish. Otherwise maybe a yasha haze goby with pistol shrimp would be cool too.

 

I love Pistol Shrimp/Goby pairs. The only problem is that it's likely for the Pistol Shrimp to kill other shrimp, crabs, etc. Which would severely damage your CUC. Thats just my two cents though.

 

what other gobies would pair with pistol shrimp?

 

Yellow Watchmen Gobies, Dracula Gobies, and more. Can't think to name them all. :-X

EDIT: This would work, also: http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15 31 197&pcatid=197&siteid=21&

 

....wow. steve that yellow prawn goby is amazing, thanks so much for finding that i think we found a winner for the goby!

 

Your welcome. ;D

edit: here's some more, wont bother to look.

my all time favorite is the 2nd one down. the TWG

 

Six lines are great cause they eat bristle worms if you have any in your tank.
Also the 2 spot hogfish is cool and active.I have a red firefish in my 40b and i think he likes it way better than the 20g cause he is out more now.
