I'm thinking about what fish I'd like to add to my aquarium. My aquarium is fallow due to velvet. I've added a UV sterilizer to my 45 gallon display tank.

I have a quarantine tank that is ready. I'm thinking about what fish I'd want. Basically I'm window shopping and waiting.
Basically I'm wondering what everyone has experienced with these fish I'm thinking about.

The fish I'm thinking about getting are, flame angel.

I had a lemon peel angelfish that I loved her personality. There's so many dwarf angelfish with vibrant colors I want to get another one. I have two rock flower nems. My lemon peel did nip at the first one until I gave her frozen angelfish food. She stopped after that or got sick I'm not sure.

Longnose hawkfish. I've wanted one since before I started in saltwater. They seem really cool. I have a peppermint shrimp and a skunk cleaner shrimp and turbo snails and small snails that I'm concerned about.

I'm also considering a valentini puffer. Again I'm concerned about the inverts and coral.

These are my center pieces and most likely I'll only get one.

I like fish that interact with me. I've done tons of research on these. I know their characteristics.

While I personally have not had a longnose hawkfish, that is one fish I have always wanted. Relatively peaceful fish and would make a great addition to any tank.

I'm with you on loving dwarf angelfish. When I had freshwater fish I always had angelfish. My favorite were the blacklace angelfish. They were very peaceful compared to others I had.
