    I'm looking to getting a new fish, I have a yellow canary wrasse,clown and 4 blue green cromis. I have a 60 gallon tank with corals, so I'm thinking of getting rid of my cromis and looking to getting something that likes to swim around more and more colorful any ideas?::)

    a flame or hawaiian angel would be great to have. if you keep coral, be on leery side about their possible coral nipping. ive never had that problem, but i know some others have

    If your tank is about a year old and you have a good pod population, mandarins add a ton of color if your willing to learn about how to care for them. Firefish, either the purple or red, and royal grammas are great too.

    I really like dwarf angels. My favorite is the flame (but very common) and the potter's angel is also gorgeous!

    +1 on royal gramma. Mine is out all day and swims all over the tank.

    Let us know what you pick!

    i have a melanurous wrasse with my yellow wrasse. They swim around together most of the day. I like the color contrast between the 2.

    I suggest another wrasse. Perhaps a fairy wrasse?

    There are a million of them to choose from (almost). What color do you want?
