Number One Show Piece Fish!

[i cant think]

Hello everyone, hope everyone’s day is going great
I’ve recently been thinking on upgrading my max nano as I’ve found a beautifully sized Custom Tank.
Tank size: 2.5’x18”x18” (40 Gallons/180 Litres).

Personally I have been looking into Centropyge multicolor - The Multicolor Angelfish as it has been my dream dwarf Angel for a while. But I’m intrigued on what YOU would pick!

 

[ScubaFish802]

I would say any dward angel - for me it would be a pygmy.
Also something like a midas blenny comes to mind.
or even any of the halichoeres wrasses or christmas wrasses

 

[Tuan’s Reef]

I searched hard for a peaceful reef safe angel and found none for a 50g tank.

I've seen coral beauty or a flame angel in small tanks but I'm not sure if the fish is happy with its space.

 

[Sharkbait19]

Any of the smaller dwarf angels would get my vote too. I like my coral beauty, but multicolor would work too.

just for coloration, some dottyback are beautiful (though not like those angels!)

Man I love dottybacks and many of the basslets (and relatives) but they can get just a bit too aggressive for me.

my maroon clown keeps my orchid dotty inline but they get along well and feed together

Lionfish is on my bucket list

Yeah, I own several gobies that often hate highly Aggressive tanks so unfortunately a maroon is a no go for me.

We love our marine betta - just that he's usually hiding in a cave or under the rocks (so not the most visible fish at times).

i got the maroon lightning clown - just 1 ... he's pretty chill, doesn't really bother anyone at all. have the orchid dotty, a ruby red dragonet and a yellow watchman goby... everyone gets along, clown just has his little area in corner top of tank (why not on my lps, why, why!) and nobody bothers him there anyway

Maybe a Sunburst Anthias, Mystery Wrasse (my favorite) or a Fairy Wrasse.

I have 5 or so gobies, a blue star leopard wrasse and a naoko fairy wrasse in my nano (Which I hope to upgrade).

 

[Squidward]

Potter's Angel but since we can't find those until Hawaii opens... I'd pick Golden Angelfish. I recently got one and it's simply gorgeous. The bright red/deep orange glow is stunning. It is skittish though.

 

[Floppyfish]

Candy basslet for me.

Seems like a great choice. Besides that I'd take the opportunity to add a bunch of small fish like blennies, firefish, etc.

Cherubfish aka Pygmy Angel. Much cheaper and the color is brighter IMHO. If the tank were a foot longer, the Japanese Angel aka Interruptus Angel would be top of my list if money were no object.

The cherub is nice but I honestly don’t think any dwarf Angel can beat the colours of a mature Multicolor.
Will definitely still be on the list of decisions though

Multicolors are absolutely amazing, had one in a similar sized tank a few years ago and it's been one of the best looking fish i've ever kept

If I had large system definitely a Conspic.
