What's A Good Watching Fish?

[intarsiabox]

I have a 90g reef with a foxface, 2 seabe clowns, 2 percs, a royal gramma and a yellowtail blue damsel in it. The royal gramma hides all day and the rest of the fish will only swim around one side of the tank in about 1 foot of space. This is leaving me with 3 feet of fishless tank. I am looking for a fish that is compatible with both my current fish and corals and likes to be an active swimmer. I've even tried feeding on the other side of the tank but only the blue damsel and my shrimp will make the trip across the tank for food. Any suggestions?

Zebra Dart fish are cool

find my 6line about the most interesting swimmer. Not so much high up but always moving over and through the LR. Also really neat when it sort of curves it's body and then cruises back and forth in the CL streams

si the current so high that the fish can't go there? this is really wierd.

There are lots of beautiful wrasses. My favorites are Leopard wrasses, especially Blue Star leopard Wrasses.

The side they don't go on has less current than the other side. Actually my whole tank is rather low flow. It only has a Mag9.5 throttled down to 2/3 and Koralia 2's (one in each corner). The fish will venture over to the other side for a moment but swim right back to the other side. I guess the only good thing is that all my fish really get along to live so closely together without fighting.

The Zebra Dartfish looks really nice but I've never actually seen one for sale locally, I'll have to make some inquiries.

I like the 6-lines but am a little concerned about one becoming aggressive.

Wrasses are on my list but having never owned one before I wasn't sure if they were active swimmers or not.

Thanks for the ideas so far!

I just added a Leopard Wrasse last week, really nice fish. I have a BB tank, so needed to add a bed for it (tub of sand).

My fish that covers the most real estate is the good old reliable yellow tang.
