names of some active fish? thanks

[kelly0707]

Hi,

I have a 55 gallon tank and I am looking for some more peaceful fish that are active and like to swim through rock! If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.

I am new to the hobby this forum has helped me a lot!

As for the swimming through the rocks and the liveliness, I would have to say that a Sixline Wrasse would be your best bet.

Alot of the smaller species of wrasse would be a great choice. Heres a really useful link. Hope this helps!

Anything that can fit in a 55 (says in the info) should be good. GL!!!!!!!!!

What about Clown Gobies? They don't really swim, but they are peaceful and perch on the rocks.

They are really cute too!

I thought about a sixline wrasse but I wasnt sure if it would pick on my other fish

I had a six line wrasse that was a big bully. You can look into dwarf Angels too.

Cant go wrong with a bi-color angel. Mine is all over n in n out of the rock. Sleep in his favorite little in the rock. He goes in backwards awesome site.

My Cherub Pygmy Angel is extremely active and isn't aggressive at all.

Thx for all the great ideas want to get a wrasse and a dwarf angel for sure.....I have heard people have problems with the dwarf angels dying?? Any suggestions

Just make sure you acclimate him slowly and he's eating before you buy him. And obviously make sure he looks healthy in the store. If you ever get a bigger tank I would recommend blue spiny lobsters. I just picked up a Caribbean spiny yesterday and he's very active at night. Gl!!!!

I just got 3 frags I am not going to have a lot of corals but would like some

 

[Jereli]

then u might want to stay away from angels

 

[Jereli]

I have seen some angels do okay with corals but me personally have not been able to keep an angel with corals.
