Fish Suggestions 35gal SPS tank

Carressa · 03/01/2011, 04:48 PM

I wanted to get a couple fish to give my tank some movement. My tank has been up and running for a bit over 5 months and has a insane supply of bugs which is one of the reasons I wanted to get a fish or two. I planned on one of them being a wrasse like a Halichoeres Melanurus (Hoeven's Wrasse) or Halichores Iridis (Radiant Wrasse). I was hoping someone could suggest another reef friendly fish that I could put in my small tank. I'm very open to all suggestions.

Before I switched from my solana to my 65g. I had some yashas gobies. Lawnmower blenny (or a starry) is always cool. Being rimless you don't want to get a wrasse unless you build a screen.

IMO Starry blennys can be verrrrrry mean. I have one in my 75g and he goes after evvveryone lol.

I like midas / bicolor blenny
Reef chromis are always easy and active
+1 on goby / pistol shrimp combo

-1 on the Melanurus. I had one in a Biocube and had to return him to the store because he was too big for it. Now I have one in my 90. +1 On Tailspot blenny. Very active and swims surprisingly a lot for a blenny.
