    Welcome to 3reef.

    Have you ruled out more wrasses?

    +1 to this! You could definitely do more Fairy/Flasher Wrasses or even from the Halichoeres genus. A Dwarf Angel would be nice, but always iffy with corals and clams. I am a big fan of Midas Blennys, which would be a nice addition as well. Possibly a smaller Basslet. Smaller Hogfish as already mentioned, but note that they can go after your inverts.

    Thank you all for the replys . I was curious about other wrasses I was just unsure if they would be aggressive towards eachother or if a 110 was big enough to eliminate this . I love wrasses personalities. Also would firefish and blennies mix well with my goby .would I be able to do another small tang? My only other question is I keep my tank nutrient low and so not much algea would I be able to do a blenny with food and seaweed? Thank you all for your ideas and insight I've been at a loss for about three months because I'm nervous and don't wanna accidentally kill anything.

    hey all just chiming back in to bounce my ideas off your ideas and see where this takes us. I definately want another wrasse , i just don't know the rules on conspecifics with the wrasses so could i do a fairy or flasher or should i stick to getting a healicoris. The hogfish i think are amazing but i dont know if i can trust them with my peppermints, same with the hawkfish. If any of you have experience with those fish and peppermint shrimps let me know and ill put more consideration into them. I was also thinking about banggai or pajama cardinals. if so how many can i put in my 110. Thank you all for the help. I thought I knew a decent amount about the hobby but I don't wanna kill another living creature. You have all been a big help and getting my mind working .
