We are thinking about a chalk ballet right now

Also agree on a chromis. The blue really stands out in my tank, and I do have many other colorful anthias and wrasses.

I really want a different blue colored fish like the chalk basslet that you don't see as much in home aquariums

Not exactly sure bit so far I want a carpenters flasher (yes I'm putting it in a 15 gallon the the nanoreef handbook says all flasher wrasse) a firefish a occelaris or percula or snowflake clown fish I'm not sure which one to go with a lawnmower blenny that's all I want right now all these fish will be around 1 inch when I get them thanks!

Any flasher wrasse would be a poor addition to a 15 gallon tank; haven't read that book, but if it states that a 15 gallon is big enough for that wrasse, I strongly disagree.

Are you thinking just one clown or a pair?

The wrasse is going to be about 1 inch when I get it.once it gets to big for the tank I will trade it to somebody. And I am getting 1 clown not a pair

They're not live long in aquarium. They need diseased fishes in the tank constantly.

If you get one eating frozen, they do just fine. I've had one for 6 years now. The common blue & black cleaner wrasses seem to do the best, but I wouldn't recommend one for a 15 gallon. They like their swimming room! Another cool blue fish: Kamohara Blenny | Meiacanthus kamoharai | ORA | Oceans, Reefs & Aquariums They are awesome in person. I have one in a 16gallon right now.

Even in a 15 gallon, it will be a pain to catch. Can't always count on being able to sell a fish. Plus, (( more importantly )), it will be very difficult to find one that is only 1 inch, and even if you do, would still be too big for a 15 gallon. Their swimming style makes any flasher a poor choice.

Don't get a flasher wrasse. Your tank can maintain like 3 fish. Choose ones carefully

I believe there is a species of cleaner wrasse that can adapt quite well to captive life. I remember reading that somewhere, but I could be mistaken :S
The public aquarium near me has several in a display with very few other fish who are all very healthy.

I hope You right, I wanted to add my tank that beautiful fish then I research forums and I never see any happy ending story, they say they lost 6 month later.

I would agree with a Neon Goby, they are always quite comical. The Macneils Assessor is another that I would highly recommend, hanging upside down in caves is always fun to watch. I would stay away from Flasher and Fairy wrasse, just not enough room. Also the Kamohara Blenny would be an excellent choice. It's a gorgeous fish and until recently was not common, still isn't but ORA is captive breeding these.

Good luck!

Hey there! I have a blue chromis in my tank and I will probably get more. Sometimes he is green under certain lighting conditions.
