this was what I found with wrasse's, good-luck!

+1 wrasses are bullies. especially in a tank that small.

i would do the 1 firefish and 1 chromis, in that order. firefish are not aggressive to others but usually harass each other unless you get a species that is known to school (i think scissor-tails do); mind you, in a tank that small, I don't know if schooling would work. Most people that buy groups of chromis eventually end up with 1 survivor in the end.

edit: +1 with the others. sixlines can be aggressive, royal grammas even more so. you might just be SOL.

I have to disagree with chromi's being "peaceful".......They are semi-aggressive. I have a little bicolor in my nano, and he picks on everything.....even me if I'm staring at the glass.....I'll probably end up trading him in.....

Leah - I would have loved to put in another clown instead of the chromi but I am not quite sure how. Wouln\t the clown that I currently have kill him?

Big possible, get a divider for a while, or get a bigger clown than the one you have.

Funny that you say that, I was snorkeling down in Mexico and I had a large bi-color chromis bite me right in the rear. Scared the crap out of me and wow did it hurt.
