Fish Recomendation

[SnakeEyes27]

I have a 26 Gallon bow front with a nice amount of live rock that provides fish with 3-4 nice sized gaps for fish to swim through.

My current stocking plan was to have 2 goby/blennies to provide some character and perch in the LR. A pair of clowns to swim in the top level of the tank and I'm looking for advice on a final fish. I'm looking for a fish that will swim through the rocks and ideally provide some color and personality. Up for suggestions.


More specifically this is what Im currently considering:
Yellow Watch Man Goby,
Blue Spotted Jawfish or Tail Spot Blenny,
Pair of True Percs &
?????????????

You might have to check but I dont think more than one goby of the same body shape (yellow watchman & tailspot) will fair well together in the same tank. Same for the gobies. Again look into more, its just what ive heard.

i like a 6 line wrasse in a tank like that..they say they are aggressive but i have seen no evidence of that with mine..it swims constantly and is very pretty fish.

Thanks Duke, I was actually considering a 6 line wrasse. Anyone else have any recs?

JV, I read that about gobies too. I will have to post a separate thread to check compatibility (not looking alike is too objective)

I would go with the Prec's and duke has good fortune but more people keep away from the six line because it can be very aggresive.

Fairy wrasses or a royal Gramma nice colors.

I like my six line wrasse too, but he is aggressive towards other fish. I have him in an ap24 with a yellow tail damsel and all he does is pick on him from the moment he wakes up til he goes to sleep at night. Any other peaceful fish I've had in that tank has died. If you really want one I'll sell you mine if I can catch him.

Thanks for all the tips. Two more questions:
1) Ive been doing alot of research on liveaquaria which lists the 6 line wrasse as peaceful. Is there a more accurate site I should use?
2) I was planning on getting the true percs just b/c it sounds like their is a higher chance they will host. I rather support the tank raised industry though, does anyone have any advice here?

I do not recommend a 6 line wrasse either. How about a possum wrasse?

[sjsoto]

i believe any fish will be peaceful given proper space and diet...
(with some exceptions ofcourse...)

I must add they swim upside down in caves or arches if you build them some.
