Yellow Fish Recommendations

[ptrick21186]

I need a yellow fish to balance out the coloration in my tank. I'd love a Yellow Tang but I feel my tank would be too small. I have a 48 gallon that currently holds 2 clowns, 3 Green Chromis 1 Cardinal, 1 Diamond Goby, 1 Fire Fish, and 1 Royal Gramma. Any suggestions for a reef safe, peaceful, yellow fish I could add to a tank my size?

What are the dimensions of the tank, and is there a sand bed?

Yellow clown goby
Midas blenny

Silver belly wrasse? Lovely fish.

Will the Goby's become territorial with my Diamond Goby?

Love this but I heard they jump! I don't have (nor want) a top on my tank

Yes, they do require a top, so doesn't work in your case... too bad, as they are beautiful!

Any fish can jump.. I have a lid but I’ve never seen him try to escape.. I’ve seen my clowns and chalk bass hit the roof a couple times thou lol.. my coral beauty spooks them.

Midas Blenny or Yellow Candy Hogfish could be good. Maybe a pintail wrasse if you don’t mind some pink mixed in with the yellow. Noting that the hogfish can get territorial with other similarly shaped fish.

Yellow Coris Wrasse

I had a yellow wrasse and I dream of getting another one day. He was the best but my tanks are too small.

Yellow corris wrasse would be my go to, or lemon peel angel.

Any, and all fish, can, and will jump. You really need a top on a tank.

I vote yellow coris wrasse as well! They ate beautiful fish and wrasses are fun and almost always out when they settle in well

For this size tank:

yellow coris wrasse - Not Banana wrasse
Clown goby
Anthias

Maybe I'll take a shot with the Yellow Coris.
