I got one royal dottyback (or bi-color pseudo-chromis) and one clown. I'm ready for an intermediate fish. Angel? Dwarf Lionfish? Maybe a shrimp? Got my nitrates, algae and salinity under control --finally. Suggestions?

Fire shrimp are cool,so are cleaner shrimp.Flame angels and coral beauties are great fish,but you run a 50/50 chance it'll munch on coral.

I'm a fan of wrasses. You have to make sure you get a type that is reef safe and won't out-grow your tank.

One again,a flasher or one of the small fairy wrasse would make a great addition.
Carpenter,Filamented or McCosker's flashers or how about a Longfin or Whipfin fairy wrasse.Peaceful,beautiful and totally reef safe yet get no love.:sniffles:

How aggressive is the Royal Dottyback? He doesn't bother my clown but then my clown is the same size.

Like most pseudochromis,royals are considered pretty aggressive,especially to the same species and fish with similar body shape.(aka,grammas,dartfishes)

Love the Christmas, Carpenter and Filamented wrasse. I see my last fish coming ... but not until some corals are in the tank :D. I may just have to have a wrasse tank down the road. Do you know if different wrasse get along OK?

Depends on the wrasses.Some do fine with other,while others dont.

There are some people on RC they only keep reef safe wrasses exclusively.,no other fish.I have a longfin fairy and planning to put a couple flashers or one flasher and another fairy wrasse.That is when some of my anthias kick the bucket.
