    hello! I'm excited to say that it's time to add more fish to my salt water tank. Currently I have a 75 gallon tank with a black ice clownfish, snowflake clownfish, six line wrasse, lawnmower blenney, and a yellow tang. I'm looking for suggestions on what to add next? I'm looking for something bright colored, and a great personality. But honestly am open to anything. Let me know what you think!

    Dwarf angels are a good option. Most common are the flame angel or the coral beauty.

    I also have to nominate hawkfish (there's a couple different kinds commonly available), firefish, or stoplight cardinal fish.

    Lemon Peels turn into monsters, it's really too bad because they are stunning fish. This is why you do not see them in a lot of tanks because of their natural talent for aggression.

    I would consider both too difficult to care for for the beginning aquarist.

    I like the Flame Angel, the are active and very attractive. I have heard that they can be aggressive? not to sure on that one.. My favorite is the Picasso Trigger, or Huma Huma Trigger, really cool looking fish, not sure on the compatibility though with what you have in your tank already.

    A gold assessor or black cap basslets are beauties. If you want personality, the starry blenny is a clown, but not sure if compatible with your lawnmower. Fire fish is another good option. My only concern is your 6 line and yellow could make adding any docile fish a challenge. If you don't have any crabs or shrimp, then a trigger could be a good call.
