    Any of the species will be fine. Red, purple or Helfrichi. If you add firefish at the same time you could keep a small school of each species or one or two of each. Halichoeres species of wrasses are peaceful, active and beautiful. Flasher and fairy wrasses are gorgeous also. I would look at what is offered from the online sites and see which ones grab your attention that will fit your pocketbook.

    LOL it is, but fun if you look at getting fish of different colors. You have the Yellow tang so you don;t look at any fish with yellow as the dominant color. Get a red and a purple firefish and you could remove red and purple from your color list.

    I think choosing the fish can be most rewarding when you get a beautiful and colorful selection.
