Fish selection

[Metro44]

So I have six fish 1 clown , 3 pj cardinals , 1 royal gramma , 1 cherub Pygmy angel what’s another fish I can add with them that isn’t too much of a jerk ? I want him to be a open swimmer I can’t think of anything 60Gal

Already having 6 fish you might be restricted a little .

Do you have a sand bed ?
I’d personally go with some sort of sand sifting goby , lawnmower blenny .
But again depends on the age of tank and if there is enough food for them

Yeah I was thinking about getting one I just heard they get very territorial and take out corals when being on em

I would suggest one of the flasher wrasses (Capenter, McCosker, Yellow Fin, Blue or Royal) or one of the smaller fairy wrasses (such as Lubbock's, Rubeus, Ornate, Blue Star Leopard) - if the tank is not a cube and at least 3 or 4 ft long. They are great peaceful active open water swimmers. Some of the Fairies need a sand bed. Check out the Wrasse forum in fish discussion for ideas.

Damsels, dottybacks, basslets... all good choices.

Get a damsel now . You can practice fishing later to remove it .

I'm watching 7 of them "play" right now in my tank (one is teasing a pair of lyretail chromis by continually swimming up to their barnacle lair, getting chased away, wash, rinse, repeat...)

I’d imaging given a good selection of other tank mates they could be active and fun to watch .

Any one I’ve ever had was aggressive and destroyed everything .
Flipping over frags , rocks , chasing and attacking others.

Sounds like a yellow belly... (they are terrors and should be avoided like the plague).
