    Well besides damsels...i dont count those. My first guy was my sailfin blenny. He has been with my for 3 years. He is a great fish because he will eat almost anything...very hardy too.

    My first saltwater fish in this system was a pair of yellow-tailed blue damsels. One survived the break-in period and I still have him.
