I would recommend a green wrasse. Their color is amazing, but they are not reef-safe they are on LA.
Still up in the air as to what is going in, but so far i want:
A saddle or double saddle butterfly fish
a pygmy angel
a flame hawk
some wrasses
theres a few others I've been looking at as well, just havent finalized the list yet. It is gonna be a fowlr so I can get non coral friendly fish lol

not to me. no more butterflies for me. the odds are too great against them.
carey said:LOL You asked for the list, well here it is! It's kinda long but it's what I decided to choose from.
Half Black Angel
Flame Hawk, pair maybe
Double saddle OR yellow longnose Butterfly
Yellow Brotuid
List of wrasses I will choose from, it's still long lol
Carpenters
McCoskers
Pink Face
Lubbocks Fairy
Scots Fairy
Red Velvet fairy
Bluehead Wrasse
Yellow Wrasse
Vroliiks Wrasse
This is the maybe list, depends on the final stocking list
Squirellfish or Soldierfish
Bi-Color Goatfish
Harlequin Tusk
This is a big list and i don't know what the final count will be it all depends on the fish. I could stick with the top list and have a whole bunch of wrasses or just a couple wrasses and something off my maybe list.
Since I'm waiting on the 55g to sell so I can move the 90g into it's place you guys might as well critique my list. lol I do it enough so here's your chance to share what you know and let me know what you think.
I do realize that a handful of the fish I have proposed can be semi- aggerssive. I think if balanced correctly it could work. I wouldnt' want more than 2 maybe 3 semi's I think. I researched the heck out of like 200 fish, LOL I have a steno pad full of data I wrote down. I based my list on aggression, size, food and feeding needs, average recommended tank size as well as if they were invert safe. I choose to go invert free based on what I read so I can have a wider variety of fish to choose from.
I know this is really long, I'm sorry.
carey said:I know, I've offered to pay in full even and still the fish I ask for never come in. I waited awhile for blue reef chromis, a midas blenny in vain and even the blue tang i got took a few weeks to get to the store. I'll try again when I go in on thursday and see what he says. I'm a real good customer and when I tell him I want something and he gets it then I buy it. It took months to get my blue mandarin for me. lol
I think I'll heed your advice about not shipping the butterfly. It will be a challenge enough without the added stress.
Added an almost must have fish to my list.
Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Two-line Monocle Bream
This would change my stocking though as it grows quite large. Been thinking of going with a Kleins butterfly instead, they are half the size of the saddlebacks and also seem easier to keep.
Also would like a purple tilefish
Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Purple Tilefish
So my stocking would be:
kleins butterfly
half black angel
yellow brotuid
flame hawk
bi color goatfish
purple tilefish
yellow bream
Not sure how many wrasses i could fit in with 8 fish so that's up in the air.
Any thoughts anyone?
Also as a side note, I am prepared to sell the live rock out of the 55g and move it into the garage and slide the 90g in place soon even if I can't sell the whole setup. I am getting very impatient as i have everything I need to get the 90g rolling.
Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Clown Goby, GreenGreen Wrasse
I would REALLY recommend this fish! It's color is amazing, and there is no other lime green fish that I know of in the trade!
