    How are they a pain? And I was leaning towards the clowns. And I have a screen top so the jumping wouldn't be a problem.

    6 lines are fast, and can be aggressive.
    Also that Hippo may get sick often, from such a small tank.

    The hippo is still very small like 2 inches. And I will move him when it gets to big. I think I might go with the clowns. Black ones :)

    Ok you need to add more anthia, you should add atleast 2 more felmales, and I think your tang should be fine, as long as you feed it with an algae based food item. (Nori)

    Seeing as the wrasse is added after the other fish, aggresion shouldn't be too much of a problem IMO. They also eat small pests.

    Edit: the tomini should be fine not the hippo

    Agreed. Bartletts look great in a small school.

    My 6 line is also very territorial and impossible to catch without taking up all my rock. My clowns on the other hand, I could just about catch them with my bare hands. lol
