    (for referance to tank http://www.3reef.com/forums/say-hello/swiming-not-drowning-73599.html there are lots of vids and pics) ok folks. i have only had this tank 3 weeks and everything is very stable and within ideal parameters. i will soon be making additions to the tank. i need a dream team!!! within these parameters. not to aggressive, i would like a large amount of activity (comunity fish and/or inverts that are always out and moving)
    currently have one watchman goby. (never out)
    one false perc clown. (female i think because its big, 3 1/4" long)
    one Keyhole anglefish. (i did have a corral beauty but i took it out today and got store credit waiting on me) i also had a sweetlips but he is on sale at the other store.
    i have several very large snails as well as smaller ones and hermit crabs. i have a heart urchin that sifts the sand alot.
    i was thinking 6 lines wrasses?
    what else??

    well i picked up 3 firefish and one fire shrimp. seems to be a good addition. already feeding and swimming around. still thinking i need some wrasses....i have been getting most of my ideas from the "fish of the month" posts. (thanks to all those who post those threads, you folks rock!)

    The six line is a great idea. A foxface or scribbles rabbit fish would make great active additions that eat algae like crazy. I was also thinking a yellow tang.

    tangs would be a good idea, and maybe if you didnt NEED for a clownfish to have an anemone, you could get a percula as they dont seem to mind not having one

    i think i read somewhere that the six line wrasses will fight with the firefish.. true or false i would still like some fish that are active and good in a comunity. should i spend the 12 dollars on a 6 line and see, or is there something that would be more fitting to this setup? i like color also.

    Firefish are very peaceful fish and 6 lines can be a terror some times so theres a chance they'd get bullied by the 6 line but theres a chance anything peaceful could get bullied by a 6 line. All of my experences with 6 lines have been good tho and in a 125 gal i think theyd be ok.

    Also no type of clownfish has to have an anemone to live in an aquarium.

    if your looking for color try some kind of fairy wrasse, their peaceful and very colorful
