That tank is so clean, it almost looks artificial!

NICE! :mrgreen:

Hate to say it but my favourite fish in my tank is a pair of, not quite reef safe, blennies. They are small, kind of ugly, not afraid of anything and have huge personalitys (sp?) :lol:

Too bad about your clown :frown:
I think if I had a tank that looked that good,I'd try to keep to real small fish so as to get the full visual effect of a natural reef,instead of one large fish.Maybe small gobies,a couple of shrimp and a reef safe wrasse,so many possibi :mrgreen: lities

I like tamato clowns and jaw fish.

If your setup's been up for a long time and has sufficient pods I would suggest a mandarin dragonet. I just love the way those things look and move.

On a side note, if you want another clown I have a clarkii that is looking for a good home, he's getting bossed around by a pair of occellaris in my tank.

My favorite has gotta be my six-line, two fins up :mrgreen:
I think they make a great addition to a reef.

My tank wouldn't be complete without the Royal Gramma and the yellow coris(spelling? quick someone call Bob!)wrasse. Both have been great. I also enjoy my green spotted mandarin, they are more hardy than the Blue Mandarin's. When I go diving I always see damsels in all the wild reefs so a few of those would add a nice splash of colour, not to mention their entertainment value.
All that said I think my favorite fish I have in my tank just might be the Coral Beauty Angel. Although now that I think it over I am not sure I even have a favorite which is why I have lots of fish. That way I can have my favorite of the week.

Good Luck,
Greg

Favorite Fish
 
One of my favoite fish is my Marine Betta.

SeaHorse_Fanatic 02-15-2005 03:15 AM

Yellow headed or Pearly Jawfish & Twin Spot Gobies are among my fav. & I've just added both spp. to my tanks :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: Both stay small but jawfish need a covered tank & coarse gravel or small rubble to build their nest in.

Also like Cherub Angels (C. argus) for their colour & lively personality.

I'd be torn between either a pistol shrimp/goby pair (if you have stable rockwork and a good sand bed) or a blenny. Bicolor blenny has to be the best fish I ever bought.

Willow 02-15-2005 06:05 AM

why not another maroon? craziest fish i ever had, well there was a convict tang that was pretty cool but a bit big for your tank.

albert_dao 02-15-2005 06:23 AM

Starki damsel hands down.

Ryan 02-15-2005 09:07 PM

Copperbanded Butterfly fish. If you got enough fuge and LR for it.

michika 02-15-2005 10:06 PM

LemonPeel Angel, or a yellow headed jawfish!

Good ol' manderine for me. Al though if I could afford a marine betta I would buy one in a heart beat.
