40g Breeder Stock List- Suggestions Welcome

[Astrick117]

Hey Everyone,

I am finishing up my stock list for my 40g breeder and would love some input because I am torn between a couple of options. The tank is a mixed reef 40g breeder, with a 20g long sump, Euroreef es5-3 skimmer (rated at 90g), fuge, and phosban reactor.

Right now, i have:
Springeri Dottyback
Banggai Cardinal
Royal Gramma
Midas Blenny (picking up tonight)

I'd like to add 2 more fish, but I'm not sure which route I want to go.

I'm considering the following fish options:

1. Picasso or Snowflake Clownfish Pair

Or a combination of two of the following:

1. Carpenter's, Linespot or McCosker's Flasher Wrasse
2. Red Velvet Fairy Wrasse
3. Jawfish or Goby
4. Dwarf Angel (yes, I am aware of the risk)
5. Mandarin (after numerous months of seeding my refugium to ensure a healthy pod population)

I'm also open to other unique suggestions- looking for fish with nice color and cool behavior. I do have a 12g nano with a goby/ pistol shrimp combo, so I'm probably not looking to do that in my 40g.

Thanks

Snowflake Clownfish Pair

I would be careful as to the fish you have. That Dottyback will become very aggressive very soon.

I've actually had very good luck with my dottybacks being pretty docile.

Snowflake Clownfish Pair

Yea, I don't know what it is, but I've always been a huge fan of clownfish. I had a pair of occelaris in my 75g and my green hairy mushrooms hosted them. If I get a pair now, I want to get a bubble tip too.
