how long has your tankbeen set up? what are your parameters? do you have live rock in there?

3 yellow gobies will start fighting. The tank is a bit small for a long nosed butterfly. If the tank has been setup a while, and is in good shape, lots live rock, you can add one of the gobies.

Fairy wrasses are reef safe, active, colorful, peaceful, and swim out in the open as long as the lights are on. Lots of different ones, so you can pick one in your price range and color preferences. They are also good jumpers.

ohh,how big is it??is it the one on your pic??it seems im going for one,ohh thank guys.

The one in my pic (not mine) is a firefish, also reefsafe, peaceful, hardy, and cheap, they get up to 2" or so and they prefer to be in pairs. My fairy wrasse jumped , but you can check some of them out at Wrasse Fish for Sale: Cleaner Wrasse and other Reef Safe Wrasse Species
Most fairy wrasses are around 3-5".

ive searched almost all lfs in my area,they said in my state they dont take in this species.Then i go for the firefish like yours.I saw 1 like yours but it is just about less than a inch.Lol maybe in your country it is cheap,for mine is quite expensive,it cost 45buck per fish.hmm actually what is it mean by reef safe??is it means safe from destroyin our corals??

 

[wayne]

Yes, that's what reef safe means. At less than one inch get them to feed it at the shop, see if it eats

 

['-JIN-']

ohh.is it too small at this size to feed them??by thanks or not i will just but it.In my place firemouth are rare to see in lfs.this is just the second time i see in a year.lol.
