Banggai Cardinal 3.5"

maybe a goby of somesort i like my dimond goby hes so fun to watch and adds that extra bit to the tank gives it personality.

 

[vr697getta]

no i have had 2 and both jumped but they are awesome fish

 

[bigmatt1992]

see mine doesnt even go near the top of my tank. thats crazy they are knowing to be jumpers. 6 line wrasse would be cool to they are fun to watch to .

I have a yellow coris wrasse and love it.

A Wrasse or a Blue Spot Jawfish.

wrasse also have jumped out of my tank. i thought jawfish need a deep sand bed mine is shallow

 

[bigmatt1992]

they will be fine in a shallow sand bed as long as it is 1/2 inch or so and if you have your rocks siting on your sand bed with no lift then they will just burrow under the rock like a sand sifting goby would. not sure if there jumpers but the blue spoted jaw fish is sick in color but for 100 bucks or so to rich for my blood.

What about this? http://www.nyaquatic.com/servlet/the-504/Black-Tip-Reef-Shark/Detail

perfect i will get 2

Blue Spot Jawfish is a jumper and I've lost 2 that way. They are gorgeous fish to look at, but keep in mind that they keep building the little burrows all over the tank and don't necessary spend many days in one location. Currently mine is right in the middle of the tank under a branching rock and he's piled empty shells and a few empty frag plugs to his little house as wall.

I got an Arc eyed hawkfish from Elmer's after the last meeting. He has a lot of personality and is a great fish, beside the fact that I was stupid and didn't QT him...now I have 6 fish in QT with coppersafe to get the ich bugs gone. Hopefully that's it, since the 20 gallon tank they're in really can't take anymore My own fault for not QTing though, so I can't blame him.

You could always pair your Bangaii or Clown as well.

 

[vr697getta]

i can't pair the bangii now it will kill it found that out the hard way but yeah i could pair the clown. i would love the almost any Butterflyfish but with my Emperor Angel and how i have to worry with every new coral i add weather or not he will eat it i head they are the same way. i had 2 wrasse jump a 6 line and a Red Head Solon Fairy Wrasse so not sure if i want to chance it with a wrasse. i do like the Anthias though.

Wet Pets has a Fathead Anthias.

You could always make a plastic mesh screen top for your tank to stop the jumpers. Then you could put a wrasse in.

im looking to add one more fish and i like the hawk fish but i herd they eat preety much every crab and shrimp. i also like lion fish are these reef safe at all.

 

[vr697getta]

they don't eat corals but any small slow moving thing will be pray plus the can sting you if your not careful and they are venomous.

 

[bigmatt1992]

ive herd there venom to humans is just like a bea if your not alergic. and the only slow moveing thing in my tank is a cleaner shirmp

 

[vr697getta]

if i would get one it would be a dwarf they only get to about 6-7 inches. they are awesome fish, they sit and wait for prey to swim by then BAM they hit it. now i am thinking about getting one

 

[bigmatt1992]

hahaw go for it im thinking about one to if you go to order one ill go in with you to cut down shiping they are freaken sweet. o well if i loose a chromis or a shirmp it will be worth it to keep one of these bad boys.
