Why don't you want anything that buries in the sand?My tank is close to cycling and I'm excited. This is the stocking I have in mind, some will come months/year later (mandarin goby) and others will be gradually introduced into the aquarium. The tank is 66 gallons, 100cm x 50 x 50. Anything you would add, subtract? I was thinking of wrasses, but didn't wanted anything that slept in sand bed and don't really like six line.
The stocking is:
-Pair of maroon clownfish
-One spot fox face
-Yellow watchmen goby (with shrimp)
-Mandarin goby (much later)
Any other suggestions? Or changes?
That is not a good species for your setup.I haven't been able to find fairy wrasses here's where I live, however I found out about the blue streak cleaner wrasse. What do you think about that specie?
Sand burying wrasses don't need much sand. An 1"-1.5" depth is all that is needed.Why?
I don't want burrowing species because I don't have much sand in my set up
What kind of clowns? Maybe a mandarin goby.In my reboot of my 60 g cube. I need a list of fish that are coral friendly and fun to watch. Reefing is a stress relief for me and I can spend hours watching the tank. I know right now my tank is filled with bugs, as i call them. pods bugs same difference.
I currently have a paired clown set.
I am looking for suggestions on other fish.
Thanks,

Hello,
2 yrs in the hobby. 55g FOWLR upgrading to 100g reef (gonna start off w beginner corals for sure). Any tips/suggestions would be much appreciated
What I have
- Coral Beauty (I know not 100% reefsafe but too late. I’m really attached to it too)
- Watchman Goby w Pistol Shrimp friend
- Yellowtale Damsel
- hermit crabs, snails, cleaner shrimp
What I really want:
- Clownfish (open to suggestion re kind)
- Royal gramma
- Yellow Wrasse
- Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse (IF I can get some bigger fish that would be compatible with it)
What else? I was hoping my choices would go way up with a 100g vs my current 55 but it appears I was wrong. Again. I may have to go bigger. And I will if I can figure out how to get it down a funky set of stairs to the basement.
Percs..What kind of clowns? Maybe a mandarin goby.
Six line will eat pods and are active but can be aggressive.Percs..
I want some active fish and a Mandarin Goby demands a lot of pods / bugs.
Need other suggestions Wrasse etc.
Checkout the first post in this thread. It’s 108 gallon. 23 fish.
Nice variety.

Some good choices for that size tank include: midas blenny, longnose or flame hawkfish, royal gramma, swales basslet, yellow assessor, pintail or lunatus fairy wrasse, lubbocks fairy wrasse, yellow coris wrasse, grey head wrasse.In my reboot of my 60 g cube.

Your "want" list is pretty good, though I would advise against a cleaner wrasse in that size tank.Hello,

I would strongly recommend AGAINST a sixline wrasse.

What are the dimensions of the tank? A pyramid butterfly is a large-ish fish that may work. I love more wrasses. Most fairy species and all flasher species would work.

I'm currently looking into a pink-streaked wrasse or a tanaka's pygmy wrasse for my 15 g nano reef. Does anybody know where I can find one online?
