Firefish is a good fish if you have a lid which you do. I had one jump out of the tank and found it in my dogs mouth. Threw it back in the tank only to jump out a week later. They are a cool hardy fish that can handle small tanks. I also got this cause my clownfish couldn't even catch up with is to bully it. The firefish would "dart" across the tank. And you are pretty much the only one keeping the marine forum alive...

yeah that would be cool.... i like the flameback angel. the lemonpeel would bring a lot of color to your tank as well, the bright yellow. you should also think about getting a cleaner wrasse.... its awesome to watch him eat all the stuff of of the other fish. my lemonpeel love to get tended too by him.

I have had a 6 line wrasse since I started saltwater....they are agressive yes......but they are a blast to watch. Weaving in and out of the rocks like a race car on a track. Absolutly the most fun fish to watch!
