    Help Choosing a Fish(I know...not another one of these.....) but...

    I'm really having trouble deciding
    Its a 125 Gall tank, 120 lbs LR set up for about 7 months.
    Current fish Inhabitants are:
    Regal Tang ( 4" added at the 5 month old mark, most recent addition)
    2 False Percs
    2 Bangaii Cardinals
    1 Royal Gramma
    Corals Include:
    Green Star Polyps, Yellow Star Polyps, Button Polyps, Mushrooms, Toadstool Leather.
    Fish I tried but didn't work out:
    Black Sailfin Blennie: made the mistake of buying fish MO ( won't do that again) Poor guy would not eat prepared foods.....lived off algae on the glass and what he could find on the rocks...but eventually starved and died last week.
    Yellow-Head Jawfish: Constantly tried to jump from tank! I covered it and he would continually end up in the overflow box. I'd put him back in the tank..next day same thing....he eventually disappeared and is presumed dead.
    I need to keep in mind my Regal Tang,he's doing great and is fat and healthy and my favorite fish.I don't want to add anything that will stress him out so the Purple Tang I wanted is probably out too.
    I appreciate any suggestions, I'm kind of leaning towards trying another Blennie ( Bi-color maybe)

    FIREFISH, they look good in long tanks.


    Also they surf the waves good. Just make sure they dont' get spooked or they will jump.

    Be careful with the blennies... some may be too aggressive for your Royal Gramma.

    You might want to try a gobie, with his simbiotic partner, the pistol shrimp. I have a Randalli gobie, and pistol pair that always seem to intrigue visitors as much as the clownfish anemone pair... and a lot less trouble. Here's a link to a photo of a randalli shrimp:

    Read up on this great pair, they're really too cool!

    Best of luck,

    Thanks Connie. I wonder how the Pistol Shrimp would fare with the CBS and Peppermints in the tank though??
