Looking for ideas of a final fish to add.

No sump or really any room for one. I like to look at all of the macros I have in there anyway. Some of them could be banished like the chaeto and other common macros, however there are some pretty rare/hard to keep macros in there that are too pretty to banish to a sump. I really wish I had room for something that I could display the macros in separately to save them from being dinner because a lot of my favorite fish are veggie eaters. I'd love to have a tang or an angel, but I've just spent too much time fostering the plantlife to toss a fish in and have it go to town. This was my first big tank so I made a lot of mistakes in the setup that I'd do differently next time, but I have to live with them for now. Stupid bills and stuff, grumble grumble.

 

As far as wrasses go, a Leopard wrasse larger than the Sixline would work. A green Grass Wrasse is another possibility. How big is the Sixline?

Sea Grass Wrasse, Emerald Wrasse - Novaculichthys macrolepidotus

Bluespot Jawfish?

Uh-oh This could work with the macro, course it would dominate everything else in the tank...

God I could never pay that much for a fish.

 

The Six Line is about an inch and a half to two inches long. He almost murdered my mandarin when I added her a few months ago. I love Leopard Wrasse, but aren't they hard to keep?

 

If your six line is that aggressive (as most are), he'll probably kill any wrasse.

As far as leopards go, they're easy if your tank is well established. How old is your tank?

 

About 8 months old. I have all kinds of weird little sea bugs hiding everywhere and I think the only way they sustain their population is because they have so much macro to hide in. He is quite the ******, but I love him. I planned on getting him last, this is me straying from the plan. I thought I was done getting fish and may just end up not getting anything new and buying more coral, but I just want something new. I'd just get a Flame Hawk if I didn't care about my cleaner shrimp getting dismembered.

 

If that is the case, I'd say lose the Sixline. Sometimes fish like that limit what you want to do too much.

 

Hawks are nice, too, but they can ambush your other fish when you're not looking. They are really sneaky. Sixlines can be mean, but they only get so big. Any type of Fairy would be a bad idea, but a good sized Green Grass Wrasse won't take any crap from one. They are in the same family as a Dragon Wrasse, but don't get nearly as large or ugly.

 

Hmm, I need to find somewhere that has one in the size I would require. Catching the 6-line would require way too much effore and I'd end up having to tear my tank apart. I like him and would like to keep him even if that werent the case

 

how about a anthia of some kind
