    I have a 24 gallon nano system and was thinking getting one last fish. I have 1 ocellaris clownfish, 1 small yellow watchman goby, and 1 flamehawk. All get along great so I don't want to have anything to disturb the current peace (like a sixline wrasse I previously had). I was thinking of a blue tang but I have had a rough time getting a good one in my other tank without it dying of some sort of disease. I was also thinking of a yellow tang but i don't want that yellow to diminish the yellow goby's color which is really pretty and vibrant in itself...Any recommendations? I'm looking for some sort of swimmer.

    A royal gramma? very hardy and very bright and colourful........

    I would stay away from any tang, they generally need large systems.

    swales basslet


    as said above don't put a tang in that tank.


    edit: hawkfish isn't a good mix for small fish so I don't know what will happen with the basslet

    In my biocube I had Filament flasher wrase with a nemo and a chromis. Really friendly fish
    no fight or anything. I would recommand this to you. Filamented Flasher Wrasse

    My lfs was selling this for $17.99 so maybe your lfs would be cheaper then here.

    276 FO...technically my parents' tank but I'm the one always taking care of it ;).


    Ya I was actually leaning towards some sort of fairy wrasse but I didn't know what. My lfs has like 5 different kinds right now but none stood out. I have $76 for selling my frogspawn so next fish is free! Yaayyyyy!!
