What fish to get next?
 

Hey! Here's a question nobody has asked before.

Seriously though, I've done a tonne of research and I've looked at dozens of fish and I still can't decide on new additions. Everytime I see something I like I go home and do some research and find a reason why I shouldn't get it. I currently have a 75G reef with a little over 100lbs of Tonga and some branch rock (lots of hiding spaces and lots of swimming room). I have mostly softies and a few LPS. Current residents are 2 x Oscellaris, 1 Foxface, 1 Royal Gramma, 1 Neon Goby (I think, don't see it too often). I am thinking I would like to add a Tang or 2 and maybe a dwarf Angel. I'm looking for a splash of colour, movement and some utility. I'm looking for suggestions as to what you might recommend. The tank has been up for a year and I do have a QT tank.

I'm a huge fan of Sail Fin tangs, the Red Sea are the prettiest in my opinion but I'm not sure if they are as good at eating algae as the regular ones.

How about a Moorish Idol? Hehe, just kidding. *ducks rotten veggies thrown his way*

I think almost nothing beats a Flame Angel for a splash of colour. Could get a little munchy on the corals, though...it's apparently a hit-and-miss kind of thing. I also like the Mimic Lemon Peel Tang.

it's not an angel or a tang, but right now JL has carpenter's wrasses. I got one a couple of days ago and he's gorgeous. very active too.

Justin, what does he eat? how much $?

they're 22.45$ each. they eat small stuff like brine shrimp. I got a male (the ones with the lateral stripes along their length. If you have the room, you could consider getting a couple of females and a SINGLE male. this will cause the male to "flash" more often, really showing his colours and spreading his fins. I just have a one guy and so far he's pumping his fins up and down pretty often. I am very happy with my purchase.

Reef safe???

I was in a LFS here and found a Blue-sided Fairy Wrasse for sale 35.00 Its coloring was stunning. Hopefully if it is there in a week or so I'll pick it up. Check it out it will definitely add color to a tank.

Thanks, everything was looking good until I read that their Jumpers. My current system is a little too open for a known jumper.
