    LOL wow, I'm surprised it didn't come up before now. Yeah I'm thinking of putting a blue green chromis in my 40B. Some say you need 5+, but many have had great luck with just one.

    Interesting. My clowns stay mostly by their cave, but aren't bullied by any fish.

    Did you have just one clown or a pair?

    I've had both. Bullying is not always an easy thing to see. Sometimes its as simple as a fin twitch or posture.;) Even if there is no apparent bullying going on the mere fact that it is sharing an enclosed space with other fish is enough to make them go into there natural defense mode.

    If it doesn't need to school I would recommend a wrasse or a damsel(some can get agressive be careful)

    I just added a blue green chromis to my 40B and it seems to be loving life.
