    Maybe a wrasse? Look on live aquaria for a small one that you like the coloring of and ask about that. I've heard the mystery wrasse is well behaved, but haven't looked into it much.

    Any wrasse from the genus Pseudocheilinus are bound to bully other fish :( Flasher and Fairy wrasse are very pretty and quite well behaved.

    No. Lemon's are aggressive on their own. And two angels in a tank that size is waiting for trouble.

    +1 Have you thought of adding a Watchman Goby/ Pistol Shrimp pair or a Blenny?

    leopard live pretty much on coral only a starry blenny might be a suitable substitute. If you want a lively brightly colored fish I would go with a wrasse. Lots of nice ones and even more choices if you don't add coral or inverts. The only special care some need is a finer sandy bottom as they sleep under sand. [​IMG]

    Halichoeres are hard not to love.

    I have a male of this variety. [​IMG]

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Have you ruled out the wrasses?

    A Panda Goby will be rarely seen in a 55 gallon tank.
