What's one fish you couldn't do without and why?

[cshenderson]

I'm stocking my 90 gal. I only want 4 to 5 fish in the tank. So far I have 2 clowns and a firefish goby. I'd like to add another fish soon and am seeking suggestions. A utility fish would be nice, but asthetics are great too. Any suggestions?

I love tangs! But for a 90, I would shy away.

Big fan of gobies as well, maybe a cool shrimp goby they are interesting to watch, hang out on the bottom where a lot of fish do not go., I've been looking for a Red Sea Bi COlor Blenny for years, blennys are interesting comical fish.

i wouldn't have a tank without a pair of clowns

I'd go with a fairy or flasher wrasse. I say that a lot. They are so colorful and swim out in the open a lot - just great fish. Everyone comments on my fairy wrasse when they come over.

Jawfish! -if you have a sandbed. They are so interesting and entertaining to watch.

Radiant wrasse. Just couldnt do without 'em. Just dont keep them with cleaner shrimps, peppermint shrimps, etc and fish 1" and under. Active, beautiful, and very interesting behavior. It'll need a sandbed too.

how about a rainfords goby, i love those guys and they will help with your sand.

I was going to reply that my very favorite fish in my own 90 are my maroon clowns, but then you said you have 2 clowns already. So, the next in line is my lawnmower blenny. Not the prettiest fish, but his personality is so puppy-like! I like watching him, very entertaining I think. I had a pair of pearly jawfish, also very fun to watch as they like to people-watch.

What about a sixline wrasse.

I love my male Lyretail Anthias. I've had him since Jan. and he now eats even prime reef flake food. I feed him once a day. He's always out. Beautiful fish. He doesn't bother any of my fish.

I agree with hollywd, Jawfish are a really neat fish. I love watching them construct burrows. They might not be the most colorful fish, but they have a cool lifestyle.

I was in love with my sixline wrasse for over a year, then he turned into a bully that would take on anyone in the tank. I lost him during hurricane Dennis when he went carpet surfing while I had the hood off. I don't much miss him.

Yellow tang. Beautiful bold color and helpful in that they eat algae. Always on the move too.....
