    Hey guys,

    I have 2 occ clowns and 3 dartfish, levels are good (fish have been in a couple weeks) and its a 46 g tank. In a few more weeks, I'm going to get 1 more- what should it be? I think I'm fowlr but may move to reef, so keep all suggestions reef safe, and non aggressive. I was thinking scooter blenny (I really want to do a mandarin, but idk if my in tank refugium that was seeded with pods will be enough) and I think the last fish in there will be a flame angel.

    Thanks!

    Scooter blennies will need the same amount of pods as mandarins.

    Angels are a hit pr miss when it comes to eating corals.

    How about a chromis? Flasher wrasse?

    Chromis...I don't really like the way they look, and i thought wrasses had to be fed 3x daily? And the guy at the LFS tried to sell me one he said was on frozen brine, but I declined bc I thought they needed pods, then looked online at home and someone said they had them on brine shrimp. Guess i was right the first time they need pods. LFS...*smh*...

    Actually an angler or scorpion fish would be sick, but theyre hard to feed? (I'm going minimal matinence, and i cant buy any live stuff.) how about a pikeblenny?

    Oh...didnt realize that...THanks!

    Pikeblenny is def on the list, unless i cannot do a sailfin/algae/lawnmower blenny with it ( they eat hair algae right) and would it be possible to acclimate a prehistoric dragon goby to full saltwater?
