    So Recently everything has seemed to go wrong. in my 46g Well not everything, But everything I put in it dies, Except for my 2 Wrasses. (Yellow and Purple, and Christmas Wrasse) They never have shown one ounce of aggression towards a fish. Anyways Im looking to add a few Small fish to the tank, anywhere from 3-5 fish, (or one last medium sized fish) And use the Wrasses as the show pieces. They are small as well. 1.5 and 2.5"

    Im looking for some ideas that must be Reef Safe/Invert Safe and Prefferably not clownfish!

    :D Ideas wll be rewarded with karma!

    I'm a huge fan of jawfishes, especially the black cap jawfish

    I havent had luck with my grammas, they left a bad taste in my mouth when i found ones body mangled :| Never did find the other (was probalby a mistake getting 2) Ive thought of a firefish/dartfish. I have one in my 120g.. Very shy though unless its feeding time.
    Ive thought about it, the sand bed is 3-4 inches deep in areas... Might be suitable for a little guy like that!

    Fairy wrasses!!! They are hardy, peaceful, reef-safe and best of all colorful. You can keep multiple fairy in the same tank.

    I would suggest a small pygmy angel, a basslet would be really cool (Chalk bass, royal gamma etc.) Any sort of goby too.

    lol Thats an idea, ... I just wonder how my 2 other wrasses would treat it.

    My wrasses dont come out to often, when they do they are out for a few hours at a time. then go and bury themselves and hide lol. Its always a surpise to look up and see a fish that wasnt there 2 seconds ago.

    I agree with Guitarman. A dwarf angel would be really cool. I love flame angels and potters angels personally. I loved my firefish and six lined wrasse too. Lots of personality between the two of them.
