recommend a different fish?

Post by axonify »

Hey everyone, it's been a while. My tank's still going strong. I'm thinking of adding another fish and I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. I've got a 37-gallon tank with a clownfish, midas blenny, and a pair of flame hawkfish. They're all doing well, but I'm not sure if I should introduce another fish to the mix. If I do, I'm considering a pseudochromis or a six line wrasse. I want something that's a bit more active, as the blenny and hawkfish tend to stick to the rocks most of the time. Any suggestions would be great.

Lovely tank you have there, axonify. I'm intrigued by your mated pair of flame hawkfish - that's quite a catch. You might want to check out ben's flasher wrasse - it seems like an interesting choice.

I've been considering pseudochromis fridmani, actually, think that'd be a great choice.

Either option sounds like a solid choice to me. Great to have you back.

How about a candy hog, they're brilliant little fish.

I'm gonna go with the sixline wrasse. Initially, the candy hogfish was my top pick, but the colors are pretty similar to my current fish, so I wanted something a bit different. Plus, the hogfish are about $40 more than the sixlines in my area. Thanks for the input guys.
