Fish for Small Frag Tank

[goldenhurricane2]

I've got a 20ish gallon frag tank and I want to add a fish or two to. I've considered a 6 line wrasse and a damsel of some sort. Any other suggestions on something that may be a better option?

Instead of a sixline, consider the pink streak wrasse.

That's actually a good call - They are smaller and less aggressive. Just a little harder to find.

Springer's Damsels (Chrysiptera springeri) are apparently really welcome in frag tanks. I did notice mine picking at a few things when it was in the tank with the clam rocks, but that could have just been isopods.

Agreed, I have yet to hear of an aggressive pink streaked.

I have a melanarus in my frag QT and he inspects new frag plugs for a possible snack. Even if I move frags around in the tank he is right there looking for something.

I think a mystery wrasse is great for a frag tank. Aggressive so they're not too good with other fish present. 6 lines are really nice too, and are great solo inhabitants, especially for the price.

I was actually just able to find a pink-streaked pygmy wrasse. I'm super excited about him and he seems to like his new home in my frag tank!

Anybody who has had one loves them.
