Help me decide on a fishy or two

I have heard helfrichs don't do well in groups (as most firefish don't), although I love their color.

I am a sucker for angel fish and like the idea of a couple of those except that they do get a little on the large size although the 2 that Albert suggests don't get huge. Hmmm maybe a couple of Bellus would be nice - anybody seen any around? LOL
No sandbed so jawfish are out (and I really like them too).
I know that damsel fish can be nice but there is just something about them - maybe too much conditioning about the terrors of damsels.
For whatever reason I am not a big fan of wrasses - go figure.

Not a fan of wrasses!!! You should try some of the fairy wrasses, they are amazing. You can get a male and several females and they make a great addition.
Personally, I am not a huge fan of the flasher wrasses when compared to the fairies.

I like the eal idea, come on, be different!

You could also get a manderin once the tank develops pods.

I really like threadfin (or glass) cardinals I have 4 in my tank and seeing them in the store really don't do the colours on them justice. They're not active swimmers but they hang out in the open all day and the blue/purple around their eyes is very intense
Here's a really bad picture of mine
