What's A Good Watching Fish?

The side they don't go on has less current than the other side. Actually my whole tank is rather low flow. It only has a Mag9.5 throttled down to 2/3 and Koralia 2's (one in each corner). The fish will venture over to the other side for a moment but swim right back to the other side. I guess the only good thing is that all my fish really get along to live so closely together without fighting.

The Zebra Dartfish looks really nice but I've never actually seen one for sale locally, I'll have to make some inquiries.

I like the 6-lines but am a little concerned about one becoming aggressive.

Wrasses are on my list but having never owned one before I wasn't sure if they were active swimmers or not.

Thanks for the ideas so far!

My fish that covers the most real estate is the good old reliable yellow tang.

Flame Hawkfish !

My leopard wrasse swims throughout the rockwork all over the tank. Maybe not in open water a whole lot but always hunting down the pods. He goes to bed earlier than all the other fish too but is really fun to watch. As soon as the main halide goes off he swims past his secret burial ground a few times until nobody is watching and POOF under the sand he goes.

if you add another gramma or two, you will get MUCH more action out of them...

Another vote for a leopard wrasse. I have a potters wrasse which is pretty much the same thing. Not trying to hijack but those of you that have leopard wrasses, can you have more than one per tank?

My melanarus wrasse is great as is my yellow tang

I have 3. One Ornate Leopard Wrasse and 2 Blur Star Leopard Wrasse. The trick is, I believe to have all females. Hopefully one turns to a male and you get the variety.

I have a common leopard and an ornate one, in a 75g.

I think dragon faced pipes are fantastic watching fishes. As well as Midas Blennies.
I would avoid any pygmy fish, or coral crouchers. I've seen mine, about twice?!
