Stocklist need some ideas

[biodarwin]

2 Misbar Clowns 6” (Already have)
1 Red Velvet Wrasse 3.5”
1 Golden Midas Blenny 4”
2 Skunk Shrimp
2 Emerald Crabs

Here is what I want to get for my 55 gallon. I really wanted to add a Lineatus Fairy Wrasse but I dont think the 2 wrasses would like it in a small tank like my own. I need some ideas on a good centerpiece fish. Something colorful and active preferably 3-5 inches in size. I'd like to keep the price under $300. It will probably be the last fish I add to the tank. I plan on adding corals later as well so any reccomendations should be reef safe.

Any suggestions?

But you could probably kiss any shrimp good bye.

Wow that is a pretty fish. Good suggestion.

if you like butterflys then id go with this one as it is the only one that i know of that is completely reef safe

Cool looking fish, unfortunately just a little big for my setup.

whoops, didnt even look at minimum tank requirements

Leopard wrasse. It should get along with your other wrasse just fine.

aside from a whole host of inverts (snails/hermits ect) i would stock it with a couple of smaller schooling fish....something that will stay in the middle of the water column. but if your looking for one larger fish i would get a kole tang or dwarf angel...coral beauty maybe. careful with the inverts though!

not enough space for a school of fish, kole tangs need way larger tanks then that, nothing less then 75 gallons

I agree with the Leopard wrasse. Or a midas blenny maybe, i like those to.

I thought about the yellow-eyed kole tang. But I don't think I could put a 8" fish in a 55 gallon.

If 2 wrasse can co-exist would a Lineatus Fairy Wrasse be alright with a red velvet? They are both Cirrhilabrus.

good suggestion on the midas blenny. http://liveaquaria.com/diversden/ItemDisplay.cfm?c=2733+3&ddid=57205

The golden midas bleenies are one of my favorites. They are lot more interesting looking than the normal yellow ones. That is why it is already on my list :)

 

[HeavyHittah]

oh my bad, probably had two different thoughts going

 

[dustin_P74]

what about a panda goby

I don't know about the two wrasses you mentioned -- some are aggressive. The leopard wrasse usually gets along with everyone because it's a very passive fish.
