![]() I'm looking for fish suggestions for a 90 gallon sps dominated tank (with one LPS - Open Brain). So far the only fish are a Hectors Goby and a Canary Wrasse. I'm looking for fish that will swim out in the open but will remain small (max 4-5 inches). Would prefer a herbivore (but not mandatory)with zero possibility of coral nipping and musn't be territorial.

![]() I plan the following for my 90G SPS:
- flame wrasse - labouti wrasse - black tang - blue eye cardinals (7-8) - 2 canary wrassses, for pests - 3 bartlets anthias - perhaps a small yellow tang...

![]() Yellow Tangs do not get toooo big and you might want to look at a 6 line wrasse maybe?

![]() for herbivores I would consider a kole, or tomini....extremely hard working fish that constantly graze, dont get too huge and dont seem to need as much space as say a yellow seems to need ....lawnmower or starry blenny (if you have a top for the tank)
and for other fish in general....fairy wrasses, flasher wrasses any other wrasse from the Halichoeres family should be fine with your canary(again, make sure you have a top).....hawkfish are cool if you dont have any shrimp(or add the shrimp first).....assessors and grammas are good fish.....any of the cardinals can be good choices if you dont mind their stationary behavior

![]() THe only thing I'd recommend against if you go with wrasses in a 90 is any damsels. They start out all cute and small, then they grow up and get mean. Even if they're relatively docile towards other fish, the chasing they do with each other can spook wrasses enough to cause them to jump. And since the only physical law reef tanks follow is Murphy's law, said wrasses will always find the one tiny spot in your cover that you never knew a fish could fit through.
And Voila, floor jerky. |
