Adding RED color fish to my system. - Aquarium Advice

weekf · 11-10-2006, 02:00 AM

I want to add some RED color fish to my system what are the good choices that you would recommend? My tank is a 132g 6 footer with a yellow tang, 10 chromis, 1 o. clown, 1 bicolor blenny, 1 twinspot goby and a cleaner wrasse.

But:
-I don’t want fish that is not compatible or will create problem with my current stockings.
-I don’t want coral nibblers because it could be a reef tank later on. Currently FOWLR.
-I don’t want predatory fish which could kill inverts.
-I don’t want fish that need to be fed very often.
-I want fish that is easy to keep.
-I don’t want aggressive fish.

Could anyone help me with the choices?

Thanks.

There are a few, check that website and let us know what you find interesting. It is hard to tell you all the red fish, since there are so many, that list should get you started.

Thanks roka, I thought of anthias for red color but they need to be fed often which is one of the stated conditions I don't like. Any other suggestion?
