Does ur tank have a lid? If so i would suggest wrasses. I really like the four line wrasse. Neon wrasse and the mystery wrasse.
If budget allows for it then get a candy cane basslet or swissguard basslet.
Blennys are great. The bi colour blenny is one of my favourites.
Gobys are also suggested. Purple firefish is nice. These fish mentioned alll jump.
If you dont have corals or aee willing to see if smaller sized angelfish would nip at your corals. I would suggest a potters angel.
Tangs are not reccomended as they will get pretty large.

Hey thanks for the reply I was short with my post before, I do have corals in my tank mainly lps. In a previous tank I had a coral beauty in there and that was beautiful but it ate my Duncan's lol.

What do people use for lids? Does it restrict light . I am running 2 ai sol blues overtop.

Get a royal gamma, or chalk bass... Although the bass is kinda the same colour as your chromis. Another good one would be a flame hawkfish.

As the other user suggested if you have a mesh lid you could put some wrasse in like a yellow canary or red high fin wrasse....

Here is an example of a mesh cover.. Lowes sells the aluminum parts in a package for window screening, Canadian tire sells the synthetic mesh for bird fencing. In total it would cost you $35 to build a lid. Light and easy to remove.

I believe in getting dish that looks nice but also servers a purpose! So get a tang that can clean your algae and a wrasse that can hunt for pest! I do recommend a red line wrasse or anyone from that family, they're awesome at hunting for pest and super friendly

Tony, the OP's tank is far too small for a tang. You should know that you are in the business.
You are not recommending tangs for 65 gallon tanks are you?
