Fish Ideas?

[AyoItsRocco]

Hello everyone, looking into adding some more fish to my 45 gallon bow tank and need some ideas. My current livestock includes 2 Ocellaris Clowns, Starry Blenny, Six-Line Wrasse, and a Flame Hawkfish. Would like something a little larger that will thrive in a tank that size.

Could do one of the dwarf angels like a flame?

Would a flame be happy in a 45? Seems a little small. More just curious your opinion on it.

Should be fine if you start smaller.

It's definitely a closer fit than a larger tank species in a 4-6' tank.

thats what I was thinking, I have always heard they'd require a fairly large tank. Even for dwarfs

I am also considering adding coral once my tank fully matures, I'm roughly 3 months in right now

My flame, bandit and masked angels never touched a coral.

They were very well fed though. Also maybe just lucky.

Wow! I'm looking at some of these dwarf angelfishes and they look amazing! Will they eventually grow out of my tank or is that something I shouldn't necessarily worry about. And what about temprements, are they bullies? My tank is a fairly peaceful tank right now and I don't want to really ruin that peaceful atmosphere lol

Think you'll be fine on both aspects

I wouldn't put two in though
