Nano fish that swims in open, top half of tank?

[lastlight]

As the title states I want an active small fish for my 34g cube to add some energy to the tank.

Any ideas? Current tankmates are a bicolor blenny that hides in his rock most of the day, a neon goby that perches, and 2 chromis that swim a fair amount but like to also hang out close to the rocks.

My sixline wrasse swims everywhere, as does my Potter's angel. Have you considered a dwarf angel for your tank?

Also a smaller flasher wrasse might be what you're looking for. Although, it would be nice to have a pair or trio, but you might be 'overstocked' then.

Guess I should mention tank is open top as well...

Dwarf angel would be nice but I don't think I could trust one with the sps. I'm def a coral before fish sort of reefer.

Woa, back off the skimmer nog my friend!

Brett, the Potters is one of the 'safest' of the dwarves, being a detrius eater. It will occaisionally nip at corals, but doesn't really do much long term damage - it doesn't eat the polyps.

I have one in my reef, and there's LOTS of SPS in there. And trust me, I'm a SPS freak, and the last thing I'd want is a SPS eater. It nips here and there, but none of the corals are any worse for wear.

Wrong....I have 2 potters and they not only eat polyps they chow down on the whole coral....so does my regal angel and my little black angel

The bangaiis I used to have just hung out in the same spot....near an overhang. I have a green chromis that hangs out in the open at the top of the tank (he killed off his buddies and he's the last one left)

Want some babies Brett? I have 7 that are about the size of a loonie and there eating like little piggies.
