I loved my carpenter wrasse until it got spooked and jumped

Clown gobies are colorful.

I am a fan of clown gobies, but you cant beat the ruby red dragonets or a mandarin if you have room and the bugs for them

Pseudchromis/ dottybacks are really colorful but they are kind of ****heads

[CMD2213]

Royal gramma's are nice

[jasonp87]

I have a neon dotty back. He hasn't been an issue. I wouldn't put one in anything smaller than a 25 though. He swims all over mine, he would be cramped in anything smaller I think.

Helfrich Fire Fish, Purple Fire Fish, Orchid Dottyback, Swiss Guard Basslet, Royal Gramma, just about all the Flasher Wrasses and the Pygmy Cherub Angels. Although the Angels can be a bit territorial. With the Flasher Wrasse, I would think go any smaller than 30 gallons.

On a different note, I'm a big fan of the Fiji Blue Spot Puffer. Had one in a 20 years ago with no issues, will definitely get another.

I have a very long aquarium (like 6') but it is very thin (like 4 inches). Only thin (or not really fat) fish can turn around

[CMD2213]

With that's crazy thin! Blue legged hermits are cool too. Some sexy shrimp maybe. But there are some smaller cool looking gobies. If you want attraction to color. And able to move. Btw crazy tank how tall is it?
+1 again for ruby red dragonette awesome little fish stays small enough.

Since no one else posted, I'm guessing I'm going to be the only one to suggest a Sixline Wrasse. In a nano tank with minimal other fish they are quite active and the patterns/colors I think are great.

[FishDude]

The tank's about 16 inches tall.
Here's where I got it: http://aussieaquariums.com/panoramic.html
However, I changed the filter for a better one.

Oh dear..it's one of those picture frame tanks...hope you didn't pay 1.5k for it

[knightnsd]

I liked the 4-6 line wrasses but they are as bad as the neon dottybacks and will limit and other fish from being added. My 6 line killed a mystery wrasse in my 300 and that was the and of any lined wrasses or dottybacksfor me. They are turds even in large tanks, cool fish but horrible temperments. I like wrassses but they are as bad as tangs on mixing into a tank. some of the fairy and solarius wrasses are more pleasant, even my juvenile flame wrasses fought to the death in my 300, breaking the myth that juvies can grow up together anbd only one will turn to male.

agreed with Choudawg, looks like a tough tank to keep marine fish in, both access wise, salt creep-wise and temperature wise. The surface area of the tank glass will make it susceptible to temp changes, i'd lean toward a hardy fish for it. mY nano did not fair well in my bedroom despite the heater, the ac made the tank temp change quickly and it cost me some fish.
