Help picking my final fish!

Yep, along with hiding places, tank mates, size differences, etc. Wish Reef2Reef had a licensed "fish psychologist" to determine who likes who, ha ha.

Yes hahaahah

The blennies I mentioned occupy a different niche. Meiacanthus are in the water column and have a venomous bite and pike blennies stay on the sand. Both would be ignored by the sailfin.

Very true! I’ll look into these guys!

Id say a helfrichi firefish. I have a captive orchid and they get along just fine. I have a lot of rock work the dottyback likes to hang in. Dustin

Was your firefish added after the orchid?

They were added at same time about a month ago. The orchid is the most skittish fish I have. Tank mates are clown, pajama cardinal, chromis, midas blenny, flasher wrasse. Pretty mellow bunch so far. Dustin

Or maybe a 6-Line to put the orchid and blenny in there place

Barnacle Blennies are awesome.

I've seen some cool videos of a bunch of them popping out of barnacles. Super cute!! How many could I get?
