Panda April 12, 2012 April 12, 2012 We've set up a 2nd aquarium that's finished cycling and is ready for fish and I'd like some suggestions. Our other aquarium is a 75g and has: A pair of Clowns A pair of Mandarins 1 Royal Gramma 1 Red Fire Fish 1 Diamond Goby 1 Midas Blenny 1 Blue Tang (We know she'll need a bigger home) The new aquarium is 56g and I'm having a little trouble because when I think about a stocklist I find myself thinking about how much I love the fish we already have, mostly for their personalities. So the new stocklist ends up with some of the same fish we already have going in the new tank, which isn't REALLY what I want but I keep getting hung up on it. So I could use some suggestions to get me out of my rut. We'll definitely do another pair of clowns, although I'm not sure what kind yet. I was thinking maybe a yellowheaded jawfish, I've heard they're fun. I was kind of toying with the idea of moving the royal gramma and the fire fish to the 56g but I haven't really made up my mind on that. I've been pouring over Live Aquaria looking for ideas but I really get hung up on the personality thing, which isn't really very easy to tell from the descriptions. So I'm looking for ideas for some fun reef safe fish appropriate for a 56g tank. Any suggestions?
ToddR April 12, 2012 April 12, 2012 Have you considered one of the jawfishes?? They dig a bit but have loads of personality!!!

epleeds April 12, 2012 April 12, 2012 is this going to be a reef or fish only? I always wanted a tank with toby puffers and non-reef butterfly fish
