A whack of Barnacle Blenny's!

I loved my diamond goby! Great fish for keeping the sand clean.

Schooling fish they are plain Jane but it is so cool to watch them all turn on command in the same direction. Also blennies they have personalities those guys do.

Anthias can jump, my boyfriend had 3 now has 2 cause one jumped. Still doesn't cover the tank though, just a risk he takes. He has had the 2 for a few months now (the other one jumped a few days after adding it) so hopefully they'll stay put. Beautiful fish to watch, he also only feeds once a day so it's not always necessary to feed more often.

Anthias are fairly sensitive to water quality and they are not cheap, so perhaps not the best first fish

Getting some pressure to get a false percula.That nemo thing has reared itself up thanks to wife and nieces. Aggression issues later on?

Any more suggestions?

anything but a damsel!

Bangaii cardinal? They do school as well and are actually a really cool fish even though not very active! They are ridiculously cute as babies too, easy to get captive bred ones!!

For a start I'd recommend something a little hardy, a pair of clowns would be a great start. I know many people who actually use them to cycle tanks. Anthias I'd add a few months down the road because of there poor survival rates. If you want a schooling fish (TRUE schooling fish) try Longspine Cardinals - Apogon leptacanthus. I have a half dozen of these with a half dozen Dispar anthias and the amount of life and activity in the tank is a lot more noticeable, guess the rock hiders aren't so afraid with free swimmers roaming!!
