    What about a Strawberry Basslet?? I cant seem to find anything about them, a store has one for 15 bucks. And they are really pretty

    Most colorful fish seem to be jumpers, especially ones suited to a small tank... I agree an RGB would probably be good. Or maybe a swissguard basslet, or chalk basslet if you want something that is not kept as often. A Flame Hawk is great and they don't tend to jump much, but bring other issues. A longnose hawk is a little safer, although not as colorful. Or a geometric hawk which isn't actually a hawk, is probably a good bet, but again, not as colorful. Cardinal fish are another good one for a topless tank, but also not as colorful. Chromis I guess could also work. idk, running out of ideas....

    wrasse I think a flasher would do best or a six line\possum could add color to the tank!;D

    They are a pseudochromis, so will likely be very aggressive.

    Actually a yellow fin flasher wrasse only needs a 30G to be good.
    I really like how they look OP, maybe you should take a look.

    Here is a link to live aquaria if you are interested.
