What Kind Of Fish Should I get Next?

[Mikejr8686]

30 Gallon tank with a few Corals, Bubble Tip Anenome, Clown, Damsel, Six Line. My question is what should I get next? I would like to get maybe a small yellow tang but was told I might not have enough swimming room for it to stay alive. If you have any good ideas of fish let me know I need ideas.

No chance for a tang in a 30, I was told by everyone on here there was no hope for one in my 46. Perhaps a flame angel or coral beauty?

Since you have a six line in there, wrasses are out of the question, but those might have been a nice addition.
I wouldn't recommend an angel in a 30G tank, i know they say that the minimum is 30G, but i think it's too small for an angel. I would maybe add a blenny (lawnmower blennies are a good fish that eat algae off the rocks/glass) or any other kind of blenny. A goby might also be a good addition.
Also, Chromis add a nice color to the tank and they are always roaming in front of the tank.

some type of psuedochromis or goby would be nice. they stay pretty small.

How about red or purple firefish?

The scissor tail dart fish looks pretty. and is good for a small tank. The tang is no good for a 30. They're pron to ich and in a tank that small they will be more stessed and have an even better chance of getting ich.

take a look at a neon dottyback. they are really cool and vibrant coloration. I think a flame angel would do great in your tank. just me

Thanks for the help guys I think I might go with the bicolor angel or perhaps the scissor tail dart fish....

 

[Doc]

NOOOOOO!!!!!!! DO NOT get a bicolor angel unless you want to watch it eat everything in your tank. My blue angel and koran angels have eaten less corals combined in their life time than a bicolor will do in one week. Be careful with that fish and coral

You could do a dwarf lion but I heard there a pain to feed. What about the red shrimp looking guys I dont know how well they are with corals or the name of the shrimp but I seen it in the store and it looked damn cool. Im still new at this my self
