50 gallons: Fish recommendation

[Memphis118]

I currently have a 50 gallon tank, with 30 gallon sump, and a Vertex Omega 150 skimmer.

This tank will be SPS heavy, and I have the following fish so far:

2 Inch Mccosker's flasher wrasse
2x Extreme Picasso clownfish
Helfrichi firefish
Yellow assessor wrasse

I am looking to put a few more fish in here, but not sure what i can add in, that won't bother my coral, and pick on my other fish. Any recommendations? I was thinking of a Midas Blenny, but I heard they occasionally would pick on fish similar to them, IE: Helfrichi

Let me know!

could do a nice blenny. I like my starry blenny.

 

[LetItReef]

+1 on Blenny

 

[Memphis118]

Would a starry blenny become territorial and pick on my Helfrichi? I assume if a midas blenny would, wouldnt the starry be the same?

 

[Dtackett]

it shouldn't, a starry blenny will mostly be hiding in the rockwork and only come out to eat. they're pretty friendly.

 

[Memphis118]

Sounds good, I'll check it out when I get a chance to go to my LFS. Any other recommendations?

Starry blenny.

The midas shouldn't bother the helfrichs,you will find they will occupy slightly different niches in aquaria. Midas will stay toward the top half, the firefish will stay lower.

Other options would include grammistes blenny, swales basslet, other dartfish such as zebra or blue gudgeon, or a small group of barnacle blennies.

I don't know if you meant Yellow Coris Wrasse, otherwise it's Yellow Assessor Basslet.

A Yasha goby paired with a Randall's pistol shrimp is really awesome! I loved having them in my old tank or you could do a trio of green banded gobies?

 

[Memphis118]

Yeah, I meant the assessor basslet, my mistake. I like the Pistol shrimp / goby combo (had them in my 30) and they kept piling sand over my coral on the ground... I ended up trading them in.

@eatbreakfast I will check out a Midas blenny when I go to my LFS to see if they have one. Maybe I can find a really small one

You should get a cherub angel! They are very colorful and only get around 3".
