    I was asking the same question not to long ago. Maybe 1.5 months ago. I added a pair of perc clowns. They are great and so far have been doing well. I just recently added a fairy wrasse who also is doing well. I had trouble getting the damsels out and eventually had to take 3/4 of my tank apart to get them. I tried everything traps ect. I am pretty new at this just passing the advice I received on...it was great advice.

    Dang! They are throwing some interesting stuff in the 150 we have at work then... 75% of the stuff will outgrow that tank. They got two bamboo sharks, a dwarf lion, lunar wrasse, Yellow tang, snowflake eel, another eel(not sure which kind), ummm a Harlequin Tusk, Pretty sure i'm missing somthing. oh, i think a trigger of some kind and a koran angel

    they are going to have a horrible crash and everything will die. Bamboo sharks alone need at least a couple hundred gallons.

    Good luck in your selection. Look around and see what it is you like. the first time around I just grabbed stuff. Now I think about what it is that I want to put in there, research it on several different sites and then go for it.

    The other thing i have learned...is getting fish out of a tank is a MAJOR PIA! Always say will get rid of it when it outgrows it but then you have to take the tank completely apart just to catch it!
