Must have reef fish

[muggle0981]

What is your must have reef fish…180g or less for sizing

 

[Brent Bohannon]

No surprise but clownfish. Never had a tank without one. Next would be a tang.

 

[Kiwi reefer]

Same as above for me i'd be kinda lost without clowns in my reef, then i would look towards a tang, ideally a yellow tang

They can be a PITA, but my reef needs to have a Copper Band Butterfly.

 

[muggle0981]

Want a butterfly in worst way

Just afraid to pull trigger

 

[WheatToast]

Flounders, but I do not plan on obtaining one soon since they eat small fish and invertebrates.

I actually upgraded to 180 for my black tang!.. so Black tang for me obviously.

You need a wrasse, an angel (dwarf or otherwise), a rock dweller like a royal gramma or dottyback and probably a few schoolers like chromis or anthias.

 

[Gtinnel]

A melanurus wrasse for me. They're the perfect combination of beautiful and a utilitarian fish.

 

[monkeyCmonkeyDo]

Squirrel fish. Not ideal but a great reef fish imo
D

 

[HK180]

A copperband butterfly, an anthias shoal, and a wrasse (flasher, fairy, or leopard)

 

[ColoredRock]

established tank or not... im fishless for now 30 inch cube (50 gal)

 

[i cant think]

These can go in smaller tanks however:
For me it’s two fish, both are wrasse and they are the diamond tail flasher wrasse and Pintail flasher wrasse.
I nearly pulled the trigger on a pintail or Pylei on Saturday but held off
