Help choosing some fish!!

[fsu1dolfan]

So right now i have a Percula Clown, Blue Neon Goby, and YWG in my 29 Biocube.

I am debating getting a Wrasse and a Midas Blenny. I have wanted a Midas blenny for a while. Love their color and personalities. As for the Wrasse, i have narrowed my choices to a few:
(In order of preference)
McCosker's
Blue Flasher
Radiant
Yellow Fin Flasher
Christmas
Whip Fin Fairy

So tell me what you think?? Would the addition of those two with what i already have been ok? Which wrasse should i go for??

Thanks for any advice

Go with the McCosker's wrasse. I have a yellow fin fairy in my tank and I think she would be to big for your size tank. In fact I would stay away from all fairy wrasses in that size tank.

Thanks!! The Yellowfin i have on there though is a flasher Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Yellowfin Flasher Wrasse
I probably should have taken the Whip Fin Fairy off the list.

I voted for the McCosker just becuase I like'em. If it was me however I would skip the wrasse since a 29 is on the small side for them IMO.

McCoskers are amongst the most beautiful of the flashers. That has my vote. If you can afford/find it, diamond tail flashers are insane!

Thanks....Yeah i have seen some pictures of the Diamond Tail Flasher. That is an amazing looking fish but i think i'm gonna go for the McCoskers :)

I would almost stay away from the wrasses. They seem to like to swim alot and they may not have enough room in the tank. But that is mu opinion.

I appreciate your opinion. This is the reason i posed the question the way i did. I know wrasses are a stretch. I was leaning more towards the Blue or Yellowfin since most places say 30 gallons. In all honesty i love the McCoskers though.

Anyone with 29-30 gallon with a flasher?? How have they been??

I almost purchased one awhile back for my 29... If I had a 30l I might have pulled the trigger since there isn't much real estate in a standard 29. I ended up getting a sixline instead and he gets along great with my clown... don't think I can put anything else in there now;)

Yep, me too! Second would possibly be the yellow coris wrasse, nice vibrant yellow!

i'm not a huge wrasse fan which is why i voted for the midas blenny :) got any pix

 

[Alattner]

go with a leopard wrasse those things are amazing the males are sweet

 

[Angels 2010]

I voted for the blue flasher, but if you can find a Scarlet flasher they are amazing, much nicer than the McCosker, IMO...

I think the X-mas and the Fairy will be too large for your tank...

 

[Captain Nemo]

Go with the mcoskrrs! They are the most beautiful of he ones you have listed in moy opinion .

 

[fsu1dolfan]

Thanks for all the replies everyone. I appreciate the input.
I think i will be going with a McCosker's in the near future. I still have a few things i need to do with the tank and i have some fragging take care of to raise some funds :P

 

[mjfinfan]

I agree with Captain Nemo, The McCosker Flasher has the perfect colors to to complement your tank!!

 

[Tabasco1]

Vote for the mccoskers as well. Gorgeous fish and should create lots of movement.

 

[fsu1dolfan]

Thanks MJ and Tabasco. I think the McCoskers will becoming a new family member in the near future. :bigsmile: I have decided i really want one!

 

[Tabasco1]
