sounds like you want movement

i love the ember blenny suggestion, love the kole tang suggestion,id do a designer pair of clowns maybe some snowflakes and i would do a anthias maybe a bartlett( i love these guys )



i always pick fish for jobs so a mandarin/scooter is a must have for me , same with a wrasse in which case i love leopards and a black leopard would fit your tank fine provided you can find a place for him to sleep, they are also tricky to get eating but much easier then other leopards are.

cheers

Denny does ember blenny require sand? as I have barebottom.

So my list now is:

1. Damsel and Firefish is already in tank so no way I will get them out, just if I decide to tear it down.
2. Ember or Tail spot Blenny. I like ember blenny but have to check on sand bed.
3. A group of anthias (like bartlets) or McCosker's Flasher Wrasse. I like very much Lineatus Fairy Wrasse as per Albert, but I am affraid will not find and will cost me a fortune.
4. Will look into nice pair of clowns. I would be looking into the clowns that will host anemonies
5. As a show fish I will say Kole Tang for now.

Denny would yo be able to find me these fishes stage by stage?

So decided to go for Watanabei Angelfish (if I can find the small male) or Kole Tang as a show fish. in rest stay the same!

No such thing as a small male :P

They're all born females. Dominant fish turn into males.

Ooops I don't want female if it is just one fish in a tank would it be a male? it is such a beauty the male :0 any ideas where i can find one?

[albert_dao]

The revert back into females without company :P

If you don't want a pair, I'd consider something else. Perhaps the Kole?

[ruslicus]

Do you think I can have a pair of Watanabei Angelfish in my 5g system? at least for couple of years until grow and then replace? I really like the color and behavior of this angel fish.

Do some research on anthias school before you get them. Long term, there success rate is very poor.
