Ideas for rock dwellers?

Hi All,

I'm ready to add my last fish and I don't know what to choose! I really want a flasher wrasse but I'm worried about getting another fish that occupies the middle of the tank due to territory issues. My clown, damsel and gramma all hang out in the same area in the middle of the tank. So I'm thinking about a midas blenny, who will hang out in the rocks and come out to swim, but I'm worried about it's long fins and swimming motion (my clown is a fin nipper).

Soooo, I'm thinking some type of rock dwelling fish. My red head elegant pseudo is a rock dweller, but he seems docile and there is a lot of rock in the tank for them to share. He also doesn't just "sit" in the rocks, he swims through them and all around the tank. Any thoughts??

Thank you in advance!! I only have room for one more fish, so I want to make sure I make the right choice.

 

a Longnosed hawkfish is a good addittion recently put one in and its full of character

Only thing is it may snack on your inverts...

 

Haha yeah, I don't want that! I loooove the longnose hawkfish and wanted one, but then read that they will eat inverts. They are so fun to watch and full of personality! Enjoy your lil guy!

 

sorry....bump!

 

Hmmm, what about a pistol shrimp/goby pair

 

Thought about that because it would be really neat! Is it hard to feed the goby? I think I've heard some about them starving...

What type of goby pairs up with a pistol shrimp?

 

just get some sinking pellets, or just turn off filter and pumps while u feed, not sure about the pairing but pretty sure a yellow watchman will pair with a pistol shrimp. Jwin and tripplemon have a pair, maybe send them a pm and ask then which ones they have!

 

Okay cool, thanks a lot!! I can always count on you for an answer!

Hope your new fish pull through okay!

 

Any of the watchman gobies should pair with a shrimp. You might need to do a little research because not all of the shrimp pair with a goby.

I have an aurara(sp) goby and a tiger pistol shrimp.

 

Oh, that's a beautiful goby!! Thanks for the idea. I'll do some online research.
