Suggestions for active fish in NUVO 16 tank!

[alvinxszeto]

Hey guys,

I was wondering if there are any good suggestions for active fish that could fit in my NUVO 16. I currently have a clown, pistol shrimp/randall goby pair. Need to add some more activity in here. Thanks!

Maybe another clown and some damsels. . You can also add some pulsating xenia since they open and close. The mixtures of colors will also be nice.

I'm trying to go with more fish. Was thinking about a 6 line wrasse but I heard those things are trouble after a while. I want something vibrant that swims a lot.

don't do the common xenia they spread too easily and will be overtaking the tank in spots you don't want them. Possibly another clown and nem.

the 6 line will be a pain in the butt.
There's a bunch of smaller gobies you can try grab a cleaner wrasse they are super active and cool fish.

True, the xenia will take over.

Damsels swim a lot and don't take up too much room.

A nem for the clowns will make them swim around a lot. Mine are always in and out of their nem.

Tangs are cool but your tank is fairly small....Maybe a yellow tang but they usually require more space

Damsels are b@stards that will kill your other fish. At least the blue damsels are, I hate them.

Firefish pair would be great for adding some activity

I'm a huge fan of Midas blennies. They say a 30g for them but if the tank is long enough you should be good

Could add one of the wetmorella possum type wrasses, they're mellow and look nice.

I bought a royal gramma about a week ago and havent seen him since! I think its dead because it doesnt come out when I feed. So sad!

Give it some time. May come out later. They can be mean to other fish too.

my coral beauty is alpha him and the royal gramma go at it every so often by far the bravest of fish in my tank.
But not aggressive to a point of removing . In a small tank could be a different story. Simple non aggressive fish. Are. Clown Goby and cleaner wrasse which is active and cleans my arm or hand while in the tank an lawnmower or starry blenny is pretty active clowns chromis neon gobies etc

I would go with the six line...one of the most active fish with lots of personality. I have never had any problems with them being bullies, especially if you add him last!

Thanks guys for the input. I really appreciate it! I think I'm going to choose between the white banded possum wrasse or the 6line. Because I already have the randall's goby, I dont want to cause any conflict putting another one in.
