Stocking suggestions

[BubblesUp]

I've got a 50 gallon 4' aquarium. I currently have 2 ocellaris, 1 Catalina Goby, 1 Lawnmower Blenny. I like gobies but currently don't have anything in the open water column. I'm looking for suggestions of some interesting fish to add.

A fairy wrasse will do well in a 50 gallon.

If there was a fairy wrasse you'd recommend, which one would it be? They're reef safe?

There are so many to choose from. A carpenters wrasse is easy to come across and are pretty hearty.

Perhaps some neon gobys or firefish

I wondered, with an open top, am I going to have firefish carpet surfing?

Firefish and wrasses will almost certainly jump an open top tank.

Fang blennies are open water swimmers.

Lawnmower blennies are also jumpers, in my experience.

I would make a screen top, then get a couple pretty wrasses and a hawkfish.
