[lewiss]

I'll do it when I get back. They are the closest resembling aquarium fish colour wise I can think of. You can get beautiful specemins! good fish!

purple firefish might appeal to her.
citeron goby-kinda yellow
bangii cardinal-elegant swimmer beautiful colour
leopard wrasse are stunning

 

[lewiss]

any suggestions for shoaling?

 

[MrLiam]

Chalk basslet? (I think thats the right spelling)

 

[dayzofspeed]

lemon peel angel but its not reefsafe.
lyretail anthias

I forgot what G your tank is

i just read that lyretail anthias grow to 6" are semi agressive and need 150gals as a minimum....nice looking tho

 

[fishy55599]

a shoal of bangii cardinals would be lush

 

[lewiss]

Shoaling fish, are mainly basslets, damsels/chromis and then the odd sepcies!

Just going to start the yellow wrasse page now bud! They are pretty, google search them!

I'm heavily considering a shoal of Chalk Bass (Serranus tortugarum) in my nano. Saw them live today. Very pretty.

But I see that you have moved on the yellow wrasses.

+1 have to stop and admire mine everytime I pass the tank she is the star of the tank. With care though can be picky feeders.

How about a nice firefish or pair if you can find them.

A group of Chromis

Lyretail Anthias are nice too reef safe but I am thinking of a group of 5 or 6 for my FOWLR.

Any Goby this is a chalk, not that striking but a great character always active, digging and sifting sand.

This ugly little blighter is an Algae or Lawnmower Blenny not that great looking but he goes round leaving little kiss marks on everything everyone falls in love with him he sort of flops on the sand up against the glass and attacks any algae patches.

There must be a wrasse she would fall in love with, if she doesn't like the Leopard then a solar is beautiful or the yellow as Lewis says are very active. You have to be careful mixing similar wrasses but many will get on.

Now your just showing off HG!!

Love the leopard wrasse - females are brown - check them out on google images! So amazing. Have you watched it's sleep pattern HG? it supposed to be amazing to watch! They tuck themselves into the sand bed at a set time if I read correctly!!

Well the images were already in my photobucket account and thought Dayz might like some pictures.

Yep she does tuck herself up disappears under the middle of the rock pile and there is a puff of sand, about now. I think she is a female from what I understand mate, but I was only going from this could be wrong.

"The Splendid Leopard Wrasse or Vermiculate Wrasse is very colorful and well suited to these two names. However it is referred to by a half a dozen other descriptive names as well including; African Leopard Wrasse, Peacock Splendid Wrasse, Blue Star Leopard Wrasse, and Divided Leopard Wrasse. These too describe the fish's appearance, which changes from one beautiful color pattern as a female into another when becoming male. Pictured above is a juvenile or an adult female specimen, an adult male has a linear patterning on the body with a pretty bluish green coloration."
