Help me pick my fish....

I love my 5 lyretail anthias, I have kept 3 others in a smaller tank before, all ate like pigs.

What about a coral beauty? Or a foxface? Or a yellow tang?

coral beauty's are really nice but if you are getting a flame angel as well i would place them both in at the same time so they have time to setup territories. if you do them seperate they may battle. the flame angel is more hardy then the coral beauty and bicolor angels. yellow tang should be placed last. they are really aggressive and will become the ruler, so anything docile should be placed first. i have a flame angel and it is my favorite fish. they say they can be aggressive but he is at the bottom of the chain in my tank. thought about a sixline wrasse?

The Yellow Tailed Damsels look nice but will they get aggressive?

Flame angels and actually most Angels are hit and miss with clams. 50-50 chance at best. So far - knocking furiously on my wooden head - my Goldflake Angel has not touched my clams.
I love firefish and have 2 helfrichi (sp) that are just stunning but they can be jumpers.
Yellow Tangs always add a great splash of vibrant colour but as stated can be aggressive so do add last if you decide to go that route. Mine is in my SOB tank with the bi-colour dottyback.
Gobies are also very nice fish and the relationship that some have with shimp is, IMO, one of the most fascinating to watch.
Niger triggers or blue throat triggers, although also not always invert safe, are also very nice colourful fish with a lot of personality.
Bangii Cardinal fish are also very visible fish and if you are lucky you have the added bonus of getting a mated pair that there is actually a chance of rearing the young and being able to either keep or sell them.
I have a yellow headed jawfish in my 12g Nano that is just beautiful colours but is quite shy.

Thanks for the input....

I have had a yellow tang and a coral beauty in my last 2 tanks and I guess I am kind of bored with them.

I loved my Sailfin tang and have had a Powder Brown in the past that had an awesome personality. My one concern is the size of the tank...I am not sure that I have enough swimming room to keep a tang happy.

Stll undecided but hey I am still broke so Iit doesn't matter yet lol

I'll secong the lyretail anthias. Gorgeous fish!

I'm not too sure how a school of yellow tailed blue damsels act towards other tankmates, but I had to get rid of my single yellow tailed blue damsel because all he did was take chunks out of everyone elses fin's.

A school of Green Chromis would look pretty neat though.
