    Hey guys, love this site btw. Its been about 2 months since I got a new fish for my 6 month old 46 gallon bow front. I really want to get a new fish for the tank because its looking kind of dull. Here is what i currently have in the tank:
    1 x Yellow Tang
    1 x True Pecula Clown
    1 x cleaner shrimp
    1 x peppermint shrimp
    20 x hermits
    1 x nassarius snail
    pulsating xenia
    frogspawn
    mushroom coral

    Water quality is great, no real issues, have Coraline growing on everything, and its been about a month since if added any invert, fish, or coral to the tank. Im a beginner to the hobby so nothing crazy, just something that would work in my tank and bring much needed excitement and entertainment :) Anyways i figure id go to the experts because im not quite sure what fish go with what, so what do you guys recommend i should get?

    Haha, I love the bubble. Lived here since I was 3, great place to grow up. AeLecocq what kind of goby would you recommend? Puffer where your "go-to" LFS? I go to coral oasis.

    I like the idea of a goby. Great additions to a tank. I would shy away from larger fish. That yellow will eventually max out your tank.
