Hi everyone! My tank has finally cycled, I've done the big water change to drop Nitrates and parameters are all where I want them soooo I'm looking for my first addition!
I will be adding corals but am going to wait until the tank matures more, so will be starting with a couple of fish first. What would you suggest be a good hearty first fish to test the waters (pun intended)?
- 38 gallon peninsula, so it's more like a breeder tank shape
- Haven't hit the Diatom stage yet so tank is still evolving
- Looking to avoid any Damsel fish due to their aggressiveness and being territorial
Wish List (knowing I won't be able to house all these fish due to my tank size)

- Firefish
- Royal Gramma
- Wrasse (either a Pink Streak, Flasher or Six Line)
- Cardinal
- other suggestions???
- P. or O. Clown (definitely looking to add, but later to avoid territory fights)
- Midas or Bicolor Blenny
- Goby (once my sand has enough junk in it)
- Saddle Valentini
- CUC and skunk shrimp, once there is something to clean up
