Mated pair of clowns?

Some chromis?

I've got a pair of clowns and some reef chromis in my 120. I was hoping to go with some different fish in this one.

Are the rocks on the left against the glass? You might find that troublesome when cleaning the glass. I learned the hard way of course. lol

How about a pygmy angel? Or is this going to be a reef tank?

 

[Rybo]

Maybe an eel?

@carey- the rocks on the left are against the glass and overflow, but I'm not too worried about cleaning the glass. I am going reef as this tank is connected with my 120 so I'm hoping to keep all fish reef friendly.

@Rybo- I'm not sure I want to have another eel. I had one in a 55 when I lived in Florida and once he got over 2 feet he decided that everything else in the tank was "on the menu"..

In that case I would go dwarf angelfish of varying types. I love lemon peels and flame angels.

I alwayse have to recommend a midas blenny, mine is great and they are definitely reef safe. I also like the royal gramma, I'm planning on getting one in my new tank.

 

[carey]

Both the midas and gramma are interesting fish, I've had/have them both. The gramma is neat and colorful but tend to like the rocks. the midas is uber cool to watch swim around and the back up into a hole in the rocks and chill out. lol Both my midas's jumped tank though so just be warned you might need a lid.

 

[Ericwm]

Lid for sure! My midas has hit mine twice that I have seen.

I definitely love the Midas, had one in my 120 for almost a year and one day it just disappeared. Not behind,under or in the overflow, just gone (even with my screens on). He did jump out one time while I was doing a water change but just happened to land in the new water I was about to put in.
