My next fish?

Thanks for the help!

bbsbliss - I agree - diamond gobies are neat fish
fazool666 - I'm still considering a jawfish
Chinita & Jwin - Your vote was for the yellow watchman - I like them too!

You guys are making it hard to decide!

I do want something that will stir up the sand & keep the algae down -

Thanks!!

I like my sixline wrasse also, very colorful always moving in and out of the rock work.

 

For the jawfish, your ENTIRE sand bed doesn't have to be that deep. You can just set-up a little pocket for them. But yes they can be jumpers.
Barnacle blennies. Just look it up on youtube. They can't be described
And any other type of blenny (algae eating type - not barnacle) - I would have to disagree with chinita. Mine has proven to be VERY hardy. But they can have a difficult food demands. If you can try to find one that will take prepared.
Also, what about a yellow tang or similar?

 

to stir up the sand you can get nassarius snails and diamond goby. fighting conch and tiger cucumber can clean the algae in your sand bed.

 

All fish you've chosen are very nice specimens. I would consider looking into what kind of niche you need filled. If you want sand sifters my Yellow Watchman Goby is OCD with cleaning the sand. Lawnmower blennies i've never had much success with, but AWESOME to watch and have seen many tanks keep them successfully. Up to you. Pick something that will go well with the other colors and functions of fish you have in your tank already.

 

I would agree with PackLeader. A yellow tang would be nice. Also, a yellow eyed kole tang would be nice and help with algae. Keep in mind that eventually you can get most/all of the suggested fish in a 90.

 

Ive never had any luck with jawfish burrowing where I want them too - tried in the past what you said bout putting a patch of deep sand and the jaw decided on a different spot - just my experience

With barnacle blennies, I saw that video and fell in love with them right away. Read my previous post on my experience with these if you want some more info :-[

Wow! Thanks for all of the replies! K+ to everyone

PL - I did look them up on youtube - they are so funny!!
fazool666 - I'm sorry you had a bad experience with the barnacle blennies

You could simply impulse buy something. Go the LFS, and whatever they have in stock on your list that you want the most, you buy that fish. It makes shopping fun.

 

If you make a controlled impulse buy, it is fun.
