What fish are active swimmers?

Midas Blennys can be pretty aggressive and in a tank that small I would add with caution.

Mine is a great fish and model citizen. I just got it on Saturday and already friends with my bicolor blenny.

anthias........bartlet and squampini are the most suitable for an aquarium

Sorry to hijack but can anthias be kept in a 30 gallon?

Anthias should probably go in a larger tank.

I also vote for a nice flasher or fairy wrasse.

The smaller anthias (ie. Bartlett's, Randalls, etc) CAN be kept singly in a 30 gallon but the larger species definitely need a bigger tank. If you try to keep a few of them in that size tank they'll kill each other off. The only challenge with the anthias is the frequency with which they like to be fed.
