    Hey everyone,

    Well i am feeling the burn in my pocket once again for a new fish.

    I have a hoeven's wrasse, mated pairs of true percs, and clown gobies, and one yellow watchman.

    I am looking for someone to take up some water column space. :)

    Yeah, I was thinking about those guys. would they do better alone or in a group? I had 2 red fire fish a few years back (when i first started) and after a year or so they started to fight and ended up both jumping out... hah

    Banana Wrasse or 6line?. Both reef safe and fun to watch!

    If you have a wrasse or firefish, you should get a cover or they will end up jumping.

    If your tank is big enough nothing adds life like a tang.

    I personally wouldn't add anything too big since you already have a few fish there. I like wrasses for medium/smallish fish that are good community members. A melanurus/radiant wrasse or something else in the halichoeres genus is nice.

    Otherwise fairy or flasher wrasses are always nice, good color and like to swim around.

    +1 on a cover though, preferably not glass. :)

    Black combtooh, and midas blennys are really interesting to watch, and they show alot of personality.
