Hey all. I have a 53 gallon tank (31" x 19" x 19" with a 7 gallon
sump. Right now, I have a Pygmy Possum Wrasse, a Tailspot Blenny and a purple firefish. All are very peacefull and get along great. I'll be adding a pair of clowns, most likely Ocellaris in the next few weeks. I'd like one more fish after the clowns, and I had decided on the Labouti Wrasse. I have an open tank, and I know most wrasses are jumpers, but I thought if the Labouti was put in with peaceful fish, that he may not jump. I have an Elos tank, and don't want to cover it with Eggcrate or screen. The beauty of the tank, is that it's rimless and open.
So..... should I definitely nix the idea of the Labouti? Are any other bright wrasses less likely to jump? What other fish would you suggest? I want something that is bright and colorful and will really swim the whole tank. The Possum swims in and out of the rocks constantly. The blenny is always grazing on the rock, and the firefish sticks to the lower bottom front part of the tank, so I want something that really swims a lot around the whole tank. Also want something peaceful that won't antagonize the other peaceful fish. I thought about a pygmy angel, but I know there's a good chance they can nip at corals, and some are agressive. Always wanted a tang, but obviously, can't have one because of the size of my tank. Love Mandarins, but again, they are bottom dwellers and I want something that swims around the whole tank. What would you add as the last fish? Something that everyone will oooh and aaaah over?
Thanks!
Pam
