So after a month I am finally ready to add some fish! I have 2 Phantom Clowns coming Tuesday for it and may add a Royal Granma. After that I have no idea! So that’s where you guys come in. Need some ideas! I will probably end up with a cleaner shrimp or 2 along with various snail and hermits for CUC. So fish need to be invert safe. Also I know most add a CUC first but this is the 3rd tank I’ve set up this way and worked great. Let the tank get a little dirty seems like I have better luck with inverts.

I love my fire fish and bangeye cardinal. I also really like my coral beauty but she is a little risky and kind of a bully. Six lines are also a great choice.

I have a Bangaii Cardinal and Sixline in my 90. And had a Coral Beauty. Love em all. Trying to get different stuff. But you are definitely correct, all awesome

My 65g is stocked with an Occ Clownfish pair, Orchid Dottyback, Sixline Wrasse, Lawnmower Blennie and a Yellow Tang (and before the Tang police start, yes I do know a 3’ tank is smaller than recommended for a Yellow Tang). Plus a Coral Banded Shrimp, a Sand Sifter Starfish and a Nassarius snail. And a few Turbos and Trocheas.

I plan to add at least one more fish to this, still deciding which. If I could find a McCosker’s Wrasse in Sydney Australia I would buy it in a heartbeat but sadly I don’t think we can get them. This is a mixed reef tank.
