I have a mixed reef with the typ inhabitants, clowns, tang, gobies. I need some more fish to fill up the tank some. My lfs has the black/white damsel fish pretty cheap but these typ grow up and become aggressive. I've never had cardinal fish or firefish, probably possibility if I can find some. Any suggestions on some peaceful fish that are kinda inexpensive.

I really enjoy my bicolor blenny, and am getting ready to add a Midas blenny as well as someone told me they have similar personalities but won’t cause problems with each other.

But, these pretty much stick to the rocks? I have a scooter but unless you look for him you'd never see him.

I had a clown blenny? A few yrs back, was yelloe and really tiny but pretty interesting. He stuck to the rocks for the most part, haven't seen them in stores in a while.

The Midas that I’ve been watching at my LFS seems to be very active in the water column, and the bicolor that I have does stick to the rocks but he’s always moving around from perch to perch so he’s pretty interesting to watch and follow around

I assumed since they were a damsel that they would become aggressive. Reading about them they seem to stay peaceful. It does suggest to get 6 if you are going to get more than 1 to prevent possible bullying. This is exactly what I wanted, some generic fish to add to the water column
