My wife would like to add "something blue" to our 55G FOWLR tank...something nice and easy going.

Anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking about a bi-color angel, or something that would look like a juvi large angel, but won't get as big as a large angel when full grown.

Thanks.
 
Hmmm...My bi-color is more purple than blue. Only thing I can think of at the moment is a blue damsel--and that won't be peaceful, in all cases...

Does it have to be a fish?
 
Blue reef chromis. Peaceful fish.

Coral beauty angle. Not as peaceful, blue and gold.

The pygmy and flameback angels are also blue and similar.

Scott's Velvet Wrasse might work if you can find one.

The neon blue goby or Sleeper Blue Dot Goby might be possible, althought the Sleeper will eat your sand-dwelling creatures..
 
tervman, Sorry for the hijack of your thread, but since it is the same subject as yours I thought I would piggy back on yours. My wife wants the same exacxt thing. I haven't found anything that would be a best fit for my 60g FOWLR. I have 1 Royal Gramma, 1 Green Chromis, and 2 perc Clowns. So if anybody have any other ideas would be great.

I appreciate all the suggestions.

My current tank inhabitants are 2 green chromis (so I would like something beside another color chromis), 2 percs, 2 pajama cardinals, and a very small Yellow Tang that will be moved to a planned 240G in the next year.

Just curious....how fast do juvi large angels grow? If I got one, with the plans to move it to the 240G, would that be okay, or not. If not, does anyone have any other ideas?

if you get them small like 2" almost all the juv. angels will not outgrow your system in less then a year. but that is provided that you are certain that this tank will be up and running in a year. the only angel that might create a growth problem is some of the Pomacanthus angels (emperor, maculosus, koran). this isn't certain but i've heard of emperors growing 8" in a year.

i've also heard that blue reef chromis tend to fade somewhat in captivity.
