In my 56 gallon column display I mostly have small fish and I love them all. The smallest with the biggest personality is my barnacle blenny. I also have 2 green gobies, 2 pajama cardinals, a firefish goby, a royal gramma, a baby occellaris clownfish, and 5 yellowtail damsels. My biggest fish is a tomini tang. I love the peaceful harmony that all my fish exist in. There is lots of movement but not skirmishes.

I'm interested in adding a new fish and I prefer fish on the smaller side so i thought I'd see what your guy's favorites are.
My favorite is my Midas Blenny

tailspot / bicolor blenny!!! Blennies are just so fun to watch and definitely help clean up a tank well!
My husband and I just got a bicolor blenny today. We read they are peaceful on Live Aquaria so we hope he’ll get along well with our other peaceful fish.

Tailspot blenny is pretty awesome. They find holes and poke out the holes like little worms, waiting for food to float near. They'll also roam around for algae as well, but quickly dart back to the hole if they think there is danger.

I have a Royal Grammar as well. He's pretty cool, but I'd pick the blenny over it.
