Small Algae Grazer for 3ft tank.

Hey everyone,

I have a 65 gallon 3 foot long tank. I figure all tangs would eventually outgrow this tank. Are there any smaller grazers that would work well in this size tank or am I stuck with using snails, etc?

Jon

I love my lawnmower blenny. He does a good job. The character these little guys have is just an added bonus. He is always perching on a coral starring at me as I sit next to the tank watching TV.

A bicolour blenny might work well, or a tuxedo urchin. I don't know if I'd go with a lawnmower, they get a little big -- depends what else is in the tank, but I'm not sure I'd want to deal with that much poop in a 65g (like tangs and other herbivorous fish, these guys are poop machines).

I was hoping to get a fish that would be more of a swimmer. the only fish I have in the tank currently is a Chalk Basslet.
