How would you stock it?

[d2mini]

I have a 46g Bowfront tank (plus a sump) that I'm going to build up as a reef tank (hard and soft corals) and would like to have a few fish in there. So I'm curious... if you were doing the same, what fish would YOU put in there? I'm not asking what I should do, just wondering what others would like to do, especially those that have been in the hobby a while and maybe thinking of your next tank. I have a few ideas, likes and dislikes but not sure yet what I want to do. I'm sorry I'm limiting you to just 46 gallons. ;) :D

A small group of red firefish.

firefish and a couple wrasses

 

[Piggy]

Have to agree with the firefish. They are so pretty.

 

[dustin_P74]

i know this is unoriginal but maybe a cool not so common pair of clowns and some wrasse

 

[reeffreak]

A mated pair of helfrichi firefish and a McCosker's flasher wrasse.Maybe one or two more small fish,a blenny and basslet maybe.

 

[d2mini]

Ya, those firefish are purdy.

 

[reeffreak]

and costly!

 

[dustin_P74]

i think a trio or duo of fairy wrasses would look nice in the tank

 

[Bifferwine]

Only the helfrechischefriskies are expensive!! The purple and red firefish are super affordable and look just as nice, IMO.

I like the purples better than the Helfrechis. I would do a trio of Sunburst Anthias and a Jawfish of some sort.

I have a 46 and I have two clownfish, one flame angel, one mandarin, and one midas blenny. They work great together.

2 canary blennies, and a fairy wrasse
