    so i need some help picking out my next tank add:)

    my mother in law gave me $100 for my fish tank as a early xmas gift, and she said she wants me to get a fish with it, no aquarium supplies or anythin else but fish.

    what type of fish/fishes would you get for 100 bucks? (dont include shipping and handling, cus ill pay that myself.)

    i already have 2 clowns, a yellow tang, and a starry blenny. 90 gallon tank with no sand bed, and a couple corals.

    thanks!

    Hippo Tang perhaps? Would have to be smaller so as not cause too much a territorial issue with the Yellow tang. I would cut it off after that....

    I'm just saying, I wouldn't add too many more fish to the 90g. I'm not the Tang police though...

    Some wrasse can be finicky. Give a search on here and google. Evolved has a great thread about wrasse. X-mas wrasse if of the Halichoeres genus. They are generally easy going & stable variety. I have a melanurus (for about a year), and its been a very good choice. Good active swimming fish, eats pretty much anything.
