Good morning everyone! So I am thinking about a new fish or 2. My tank is a 90 gallon, almost 2 years old now. I currently have a Naso tang (yes, I know he will need a new home soon) a foxface, a pair of ocellaris clowns, a coral beauty angel, a six line wrasse, and a diamond goby. as well, many corals of all 3 types, a robust CUC, and a cleaner shrimp. I need help deciding which fish I can/want to add. I really like blennies, so I am up for any of them. My only real concern is the six line wrasse. He is only about 2 inches right now, and I know they don't get very big, but from what I hear, they can be bullies. This is why he was the last fish in my tank. I am open to any and all suggestions. Is there a butterfly that will work in my tank? That and a blenny of some sort is where my brain is.

I really like Blennys too. I have a Midas, but also had a starry that was always fun to watch. He met his end in a sad Powerhead incident. 🫣

Like you, I’m thinking of adding another but have some aggressive fish. So I’m following along.

Get some anthias. They provide color and movement. With a 90 gallon a nice sized school of chromis and anthias would transform your system.

He had a habit of sitting in them when the power was off. About a month ago it finally cost him when they turned back on. I found him dead with what I’m assuming was head trauma from the propeller. I miss him a lot! His little face looked like a grumpy old man.

Aww, that's sad. Yeah I love their little faces. I also like how stout they look compared to other blennies. I also like the Midas blenny, but probably lean towards the starry.

You can’t really go wrong with any blennies. They are just adorable!
