green fish

ok I am looking for a green fish

These are the only green fish I have come up with and some of my thought on them:

green chromis - would be interested but groups tend to slowly pick each other off... wouldnt just want one of these guys so probably not gonna get these

mandarin - tank is too new and will be switching tanks soon

green canary blenny - already have a midas.... would these live together ok?

green wrasse - heard these dont fair well in captivity

any other suggestions for a green fish... the brighter the color the better

A Green Clown Goby!!! They also have like pinkish/reddish stribes and spots running lateraly on their body. I have one in my tank with three green chromis. They easily take to frozen food, and are very passive fish. Do not require vast amoutns of space or live rock, but would be well suited for any branching stony corals dead or alive you may have in your tank. They dont exactly swim out in the open though, but you can usually find them whereever they decide to make their territory.

i have had a green clown goby about 2 years, along with a couple yellows and a black. they are very attractive fish that will perch on your rock or sometimes by a coral but they are not active swimmers. I wouldn't trade mine for anything as they are very cute but it just depends on how active you want them to be?

i have plenty of active fish so the clown doesnt have to be the main attraction

Scotts fairy wrasse or esquisite fairy wrasse. Both aren't completely green, but they still have some on them.
