    I guess i should start thinking of my final stock list. Well i have my clown, wrasse, and goby from my 20 that have no choice but to move in. Any other ideas of some fish that would work well? Id love to have 1 small tang, i mean tiny. Im thinking a pair or school of fish and then call it a day. that way ill be at 5-7 fish depending on the school or pair. Firefish perhaps, or some cardinals. then again there's those chromis ive been digging... idk what do you guys (and gals) think? Inverts, im thinking a few different species of shrimp. for now. im just not sure. lol

    A pair of cardinals would be sweet. I THINK John has a small yellow tang in his 75g and it does well. He's got an open aquascape. If it were me...

    Your current fish
    Yellow tang
    2 pajama cardinals
    1 other fish
    (but that leave no room for chromis:()

    Or a blue whale. Your call.

    Hahah maybe if i get him straight from the womb, lol.

    John has a small blue in his, and i would do that but im just so tired of seeing that fish. But who knows my lfs had at tiny little guy that would be perfect.

    I like the yellows, theyre very bright and bold. I like that stock. and the 1 other fish maybe a harptail blenny or something. or a firefish.

    thanks again brother for your input.

    No problem bro.

    yeah I prefer yellows to blues. They just seem more perky. A hip tail or Midas would be sweet. They swim really cool.
