What's my last fish?

CJO · Apr 8, 2011

I have a 65 gallon tank with a 10 gallon sump. Currently I have two paired Ocellaris Clowns, two Mandarin Dragonets, a Neon Dottyback, a 3-striped damsel and a yellow-tailed damsel.

I want to add one final fish to the group but can't decide what to add. It can't be too docile because of the other fish I have. I've thought about a blue dot jawfish, but my sandbed isn't deep enough. I'd love a Mystery Wrasse, but I'm not sure how well it would get along with my other fish. So, I'm turning to all of you for help.

What should I get?!

Thanks!!

I love sixlines, and they can be pretty darn aggressive to put up with an already at home group of fish. Not too sure what other fish would be able to withstand all that aggression... I can put anything in my tank thanks to my freakin' clowns. I was lucky and already got the other fish in before them!

Thanks. My female Ocellaris is 8 years old and definitely rules the aquarium, but with a gentle hand.

Midas blennies are pretty cool fish and can hold their own against more aggressive fish.

They are very pretty and a color I don't have. That's one thing that I forgot to mention, I want a nice looking fish! Also, a cool attitude would be sweet as well. Do the blennies have a habit of carpet surfing? I have a screen top, but I don't know that it is tight enough to keep a blenny in.

Thanks,

I like sixlines as well. One issue I have with a wrasse (which is another reason that I think that the mystery wrasse might not be an option), is that they eat pods. I do culture copepods and I've trained my mandarins to eat frozen, but I still have some issues keeping up the pod population.

Thanks,
