So I have my 7 y/o percula clown and just added a Banghaii cardinal last week. My description is in my signature, but I am looking to add two more fish total to my 30g tank. My next fish I'm looking for something that has a lot to do with the bottom..my thoughts are that I get a bottom fish, and my last fish will be a wrasse of some sort. I have no clue what I want, but i know the type of personality I am lookin for....help?!

Thanks guys!

Thinking that's definitely a possible...but I'm looking for a specific suggestion, hoping something pops up I haven't thought of lol

TB neon blue goby. I gots one. It's rad. It lands on my fish and cleans them off. I have it in a 33 with a pair of clowns and a bangaii.

Not a bottom dweller, but it sits around in the rocks and on the glass. Active when it wants some food.

clown gobies are nice especially if you dont have sps in the tank. I added one to my tank and they have great personality but I didnt realize that they like to hang out on caps and in the branches of sps so he had to go.

if you have alot of sps it doesnt matter. they hang out in all types of corals, dont seem to bother polyps n the plate coral

I love the midas blenny though I don't believe they are really a bottom dweller. All the ones I have seen in tanks hang out in the rocks or swim around the middle of the tank.

I'm a fan of the clown goby's too, I had a yellow clown goby before and he was a neat little fish with tons of personality for his size. He hung out around the top of my rocks and was out swimming with everyone at feeding time.

I am thinking of a green clown goby. I want something with nice color. The clown I have is a gorgeous orange, so I am looking for something else with a nice, different color. I really like the jawfish, I'm just afraid that i do not have a deep enough sandbed. I only have a 2-2.5in sandbed. I don't think the jawfish is an option anymore at this point. That was probably my top choice. Mida's blennies are gorgeous too, but I am still trying to stick to something that hangs on the bottom/rocks.

orchid would be cool if you looking for some color.

Yeah I'm thinking purple over orchid. A bit less aggressive, and not as much of a danger to my shrimp. I'm thinking purple dottyback is my next fish!

Orchid, not purple.
Purple = everything dead & apocalypse
orchid = more likely to be peaceful, add last to make sure :)

I thought the p. Fridmani was the more peaceful of the two?
