I'm looking for a colorful fish for my 24 gallon. It is an open top so the fish cant be a known jumper. I already have a pair of clowns. Thanks

A single purple pseudochromis would be a nice colorful addition. Beautiful colors on this one and minimally aggressive as long as you have lots of caves for it to feel comfortable.

Blue spot yellow watchman goby is a nice peaceful fish.

Yellow tail blue damsels are less aggressive than other damsels and have great color.

Here's a list of nano-friendly fish - http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/aquarium-fish-supplies.cfm?c=15+2124

I like the fridmani dottyback idea. I have one and it's a beautiful fish. My only complaint is that it's very timid and hides alot.

I also would have said a purple psuedchromis if it hadn't already been said. A royal grama has a nice splash of color as well.

Here ya go:
Liopropoma mowbrayi
Tailspot blenny
clown goby
bimaculatus (two spot) blenny
red headed goby
trimma gobies

I find that gobies and blennies in general have lots of personality, especially the Ecsenius genus blennies.

Very beautiful indeed. You just need some "deep pockets" for this one! ;)


But a fish I recommend would be a Yellow Assessor, Assessor flavissimus. It is an extremely friendly fish, and fairly easy to take care of. And once acclimated to your tank, will swim in the open and adds a nice splash of yellow. Plus they have a quirky way of swimming, upside down!

Thanks Basser1!

I really like him, and he is Megan's Favorite fish.
