2nd Fish

[Streetlamp]

Throwing this out there, for your thoughts. Its time to buy my second fish for my tank. Well its actually my 3rd, 2 clowns in there a couple of weeks. The tank is 30ish gal. I'd like something active that will explore the rock work with good colour. I'd love some blue damsels but I think they need to be added last. My main requirement is compatibility. I don't want to get something that is going to limit my choice further down the line.

Hit me up with your ideas.

Smaller tank...maybe a pink streaked wrasse, small and active swimmer. Stays close to bottom and rock work. Peaceful fish. Tailspot Blenny keeps close to rock work, too. Not very colorful but a great little personality. Also peaceful plus algae control...well some algae control.

I would definitely recommend orchid dottybacks for their fantastic purple color. Some people have had issues with some aggression, but in my experience, they are normally passive fish.

I do like the orchid dotty back. I was thinking of a fire fish. I've never noticed a pink steak wrasse in my LFS only 6 line!!!

Damsels will limit your choices in a 30 gallon tank regardless. Royal Gramma Basslet would be a good all around choice for your tank

I would skip both the Firefish and the Orchid Dottyback and go with a Royal Gramma Basslet instead. Orchids are the best behaved of the Dottybacks but still Dottybacks and firefish can be pretty timid and easily bullied. Pink Streaked is a good choice as well.

I picked up a Royal Gramma at the weekend.

My gramma isn't being the friendliest, he chases the tailspot when the get close to each other. i hope they'll calm down.
