I just added my last fish in my 29g cube. I have almost the same set up. 2 clowns, a firefish, and added a diamond Goby. Man, this fish quickly took first place in my enjoyment of watching. He's awesome. Everyone seems to get along with him too. They check out what he's doing a lot when he starts sifting sand. He made a little home underneath the frontmost rock in my tank. Awesome addition to my tank IMO. Plus my sand bed is perpetually cleaned. Never seen it so white without me manually hitting it with a turkey baster.
Need help deciding on whether or not a fish is right for your tank? Post here and we'll help!

That sucks. I hate to mess up the mojo of my tank. All my fish finally swims all over the tank even the Clowns lol. They were just staying in the corner and the firefish was barely coming out of the cave but now they are all out all over the place. So I'm just weary of adding something to mess that up lol.

Last question if I may, what about an orchid dottyback with the yellow assessor? Would they get along or are they too similar?

Even though orchid dottybacks are a peaceful dottyback, they still defend a territory. In a tank as small as a 40, it may not work. In a larger tank it would be more likely to work out, especially if the assessor is in first.
It may or may not work, but I wouldn't mix the 2 in that size tank.

Alright, so I'm not doing well with polyps or corals, but my fish seem happy. Tank is 5 months old. I have 2 chromis and 2 clowns in my 90 gallon and I am planning to move forward. I do want corals and will retry again, but not for now. I'm going to let the tank mature and take it's time for the moment. So, i want to have about 2 medium to largish fish. I'm thinking a blue tang and maybe one other fish. Should I get the tang now? by itself? or should i get one other similar size fish to add with it (i'm getting them at a small size).
what are your thoughts?

Although it will eventually ootgrow a 90g you could get a blue tang now, by itself, or with another fish.

Unless you can find a bonded pr, only get 1 firefish, they are intolerant of others.
Flame or coral beauty angels can be hit-and-miss with corals.
The only tang species I would recommend for that size tank are kole, tomini, or white-tail bristletooth.

What else would you recommend? I want a showy fish, not too aggressive, but will stay in my tank. Large as possible but maybe won't outgrow 6" max?

Sweet I didn't even think of the butterfly. I need to research them for reef safeness. And the wrasse

Thanks. Researching them now, I really like them.
I have a fuzzy dwarf lionfish in my 29g quarantine right now but would like to put him into my larger 125g QT with a mag foxface, a Fiji foxface, a Naso tang and my spiny box puffer (burrfish). Will it work? I've heard just to be careful of the puffer and watch for nipping. Advice?

I would be concerned about nipping from the burrfish.
Tank: 32g Biocube
Currently have:
1 Yellow Watchman goby
2 Ocellaris Clowns
1 Scarlet Skunk
Considering adding:
Neon cleaner goby
Canary Blenny
Royal Gramma
These are the three "currently considering" fish that I have. My current fish are actually in a Fluval Evo 13.5g, but I will be getting/setting up a 32g Biocube within a month. I am also looking for any other fish/invert/etc. ideas that go with what I currently have. Note that I also intend to get a bubble tip anemone eventually, as well as a tiger pistol once the skunk passes away in a year or two.

I would always be concerned about adding a lion to a puffer, but if you can wait to mix them until they are ready to be added to the 210, that would be preferable. Particularly if you can get the lion in first.
Any of the fish you are considering will work.
