Looking for fish Blue fish ideas

Maybe a bigger Tank? A 120 gallon is still 4’ L 2’ W x 2’ Tall. Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace will be a good source, for a used Aquarium. Especially after the first of the year.
 
What do you all think of a Jewel Damsel?
They get significantly bigger than regular damsels, so might be a better option although they’re not as bright..
 
Chalk Bass. Not completely blue but fairly small and peaceful as far as I know.
 


Yes I realize it is a 75 gallon tank. Blue devils are one of the fish that will not outgrow the tank.
I have been keeping them since the 70s and kept them alive and well over a 10 year lifespan and although very healthy as this one is, they never go to their normal size in the sea. I also kept one in a 40 gallon tank for about 4 years with no problem (but that is to small)

If you don't believe that there are also bluestripe pipefish



Or these guys.

 
I went to my LFS yesterday, and finally found a blue fish I wanted!
It’s hard to appreciate the size of this Damsal but that’s it swimming next to a 3-4 inch butterfly.
It’s really big and the blue is super vibrant.

All the other damsels I saw the last month or so were either so small or too rough.
Hopefully this one does well!
