Having a 6line already, it may not allow new fish to the system.
Isn't that too big for a 37g?Great time to introduce a copperband. Make sure you see it eating very well at the LFS before you buy.
I previously had a 34 gallon with my copperband. All depends on how many and what type of fish you want.
If it works out, I don't see why not.I previously had a 34 gallon with my copperband. All depends on how many and what type of fish you want.
Agreed! Great community fish!If it works out, I don't see why not.
I love my cbb.
Because of them being known to get 8”+ in the wild I recommend against this unless you’re prepared to get a 2” one and upgrade the tank to a 180 by the end of it. Mine is in a 4x2x2 and he’s only 2.5” but he uses every inch of the tank.Great time to introduce a copperband. Make sure you see it eating very well at the LFS before you buy.
Agreed. I have 2 clowns, and orchid dottyback, a Lubbock's Fairy Wrasse, a yellow watchman goby (who spends all of his time in a cave), and a few chromis in my 40B.Because of them being known to get 8”+ in the wild I recommend against this unless you’re prepared to get a 2” one and upgrade the tank to a 180 by the end of it.

I recommend if you wanted something that’s more out and about then go for a small wrasse such as a Lubbock’s and swap it out with the Sixline. If you want a pest eating wrasse though then the more peacefully behaved wrasse is a Pseudochelinops ataenia.
Other fish I recommend are:
- Blennies (Avoid the Midas, they’re very active)
- Almost any goby (Catalinas are cold water, be warned)
- The calmer dottybacks (Not the royal as said above)
And I think that’s all I can name off the top of my head for that size tank
Honestly, in a 40 that’s a nice range of fish - My dream tank is to have a wrasse only with like 2 other fish (A goby and a Blenny, for obvious reasons)Agreed. I have 2 clowns, and orchid dottyback, a Lubbock's Fairy Wrasse, a yellow watchman goby (who spends all of his time in a cave), and a few chromis in my 40B.
I’m really not good with aquascaping .You could add a few cardinalfish (or other 3"-ish fish), and beef up your CUC. I wouldn't do much beyond that in a 37 gal, though.
As @Mibu said, though, I'm not sure about the additions post-wrasse. There could be some aggression since there isn't a lot of real estate in the tank. /shrug YMMV
would I be able to get like 4 chromis for my tank?Agreed. I have 2 clowns, and orchid dottyback, a Lubbock's Fairy Wrasse, a yellow watchman goby (who spends all of his time in a cave), and a few chromis in my 40B.
Yeah, I think that would work well. I actually got four initially, but one got sucked into my HOB skimmer and died, and the other got stressed when I had to do an emergency tear down. Now I've got one healthy, active chromis, and another who is kinda limping along.would I be able to get like 4 chromis for my tank?
Forget inch, make it millimetre, he really does need the space (Yes I have sexed him and he showed male).Because of them being known to get 8”+ in the wild I recommend against this unless you’re prepared to get a 2” one and upgrade the tank to a 180 by the end of it.

I think your aquascape looks good. But how many pounds of rock did you add? I could be 100% wrong, but it looks a little light.I’m really not good with aquascaping .
In my opinion. I'd say no. You have 2 clownfish. And they might get along with them at first, but the clowns will most likely be territorial. Also Chromis are hit and miss for fighting amongst themselves. You'd probably want to either get 1 chromis or at least 7 to make sure they can distribute aggression (some people have success however, but for this size of tank it might not last).would I be able to get like 4 chromis for my tank?
Would I be able to get a pair of cardinal fish, and 4 chromis, and switch out the six line wrase?You could add a few cardinalfish (or other 3"-ish fish), and beef up your CUC. I wouldn't do much beyond that in a 37 gal, though.
