out of my standpipe

i guess the tang finally ran him out of the tank.the tang was constantly punking him,probly chased him took a "slash " at him and he jumped the overflow.....i should have had strainers on my durso's ,but i didnt, and hes dead

so after this happened ,i decided i didnt want to keep going with the "predator" theme in my reef,i removed the lion,took him to the fish store,and found a couple kids with a 75 who really wanted him....im confident he got a good home.

im down to:
4.5" mimic tang
2" gold bar maroon clown
2.5" cleaner wrasse
2.5 " mandarin

im not quite sure what fish i want to add now,probly a "schooling",or a fish that lives in a small group=chromis,anthias,fairy wrasses
any suggestions?oh yeah ,its a 120(30 sump/30 fuge)

Organicreefer,

Hey sorry to hear of your loss! I would recomend maybe a scott's fairy wrasse, or maybe even a pair. You can now get female scott's fairy wrasses online. ( http://www.themarinecenter.com/ ) There are also a lot of other cool fairy wrasses out there like: Flasher Wrasse, Tricolor, or Hawaiin Flame to name a few. I think a school of chromis would also be neat. After reading the feeding requirements for the Anthias I tend to shy away from them. (JMO) How about a pair of yellow citron clown gobies? Well good luck!
