New fish ideas

[fancy_fish101]

I have a 75 gallon tank. I have a while tail tang, Fiji foxface, blue sided, cleaner wrasse.
Those are in qt right sense they got sick and forever will qt new fish I get.
I want to add like 2-3 more fish.
I need ideas. I want mandarins not sure how they will act with my white tail tang.
looking at more wrasses even.
If you have any suggestions please feel free to share.
PS: reef safe

Anthias's are nice and will give you good color. Grey head or malenarous wrasse are great for pests and fun to watch without getting too big. Fairy wrasse are nice colors too, also blennys are fun.

I don’t think malenarous wrasses are reef safe is why I haven’t added one. Anthias are nice. That could be an option. But they are a bit picky food eaters.

I would choose an engineer goby or a jawfish. I have all three in my 75 gallon.

I was thinking goby. I was thinking. Railway one

They are.

Malenarous wrasses are reef safe with the exemption of small inverts.

They are.

They do however go after inverts sometimes

I would vote for more smaller fairy or flasher wrasses and perhaps a Red Lined Wrasse (Biocellatus) instead of Melanurus. Much nicer and stays smaller. Good for coral pest control. Just use an acclimation box and introduce more than one at a time if you can. I have a mix of 5 wrasses in my 4ft tank, and they all do fine with eachother.

Another very beautiful and fun fish to watch is an Elongate Dottyback (captive bred from ORA. The colors are awesome, it’s extremely peaceful, and has a fun personality. No aggression toward anything compared to other Dottybacks. The online photos don’t do the colors justice.

Midas Blenny might be another fun addition for you, though they can get territorial in smaller tanks and yours is on the edge of that size.

Flame Hawk is also a great addition if you put it in last, amazing personality, usually not aggressive if added last, but may take out your peppermint shrimp… less likely than the Melanurus in my experience though.

Another underrated fish are cardinals of the genus Ostorhinchus or Apogon. Definitely a lot more active than their bangi and pajama brothers.
