What are some great yellow fish?

[Brah02]

I need some more pops of yellow. Currently only have a yellow wrasse, I don’t really count my Midas blenny because he’s more of a darker goldish skin tone I guess color lol

I already have one tang so yellow tang is out, and no rabbit fish. I was looking at the two spot hog fish, but I read that they are terrors on shrimp and cleanup crew, but also bullies to wrasse and I have a few wrasse.

In your opinion/experience what are some nice yellow colored fish that don’t get too big for an 80 gallon, that have good personalities?

Something on the smaller end might be a watchman Gobi!

Butterfly? Maybe look into anthias varieties or gobies/blennies

 

[The Ugly Phase]

what tang do you currently have? you may yet be able to get a yellow tang if they are not the same species with careful handling of the situation

Yellow Clown Goby. Big personality in a small package.

Yellow assessor basslet. Especially if you have overhangs.

If your aquarium is north of 100 gal a Yellow Pyramid Butterfly is a great fish. They’re not entirely reef safe though. Mine likes to nibble on fleshy LPS but doesn’t seem to do any real damage.

Canary goby for sure. Really sweet fish, playful. They are the same color as a yellow tang without the headache and price tag.
