Genj Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I'm looking for a 'rainbow' fish as the daughter would put it as her BD gift. She loves the Mandarin's; however, after getting opinions and information from the fine community I really feel it's not a proper fit. That being said, anyone have any suggestions for something peaceful and colorful to join the lower area of the tank? Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Red Scooter Blennies are still tough, but less tough than mandarins. They are pretty. Maybe your daughter will like that. Bluespot Jawfish are a very pretty, and interactive fish that your daughter might enjoy. Link to comment
kgoldy Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 +1 Bluespot Jawfish. Build him a little tunnel toward the front of the tank to keep him in view of your kid. Link to comment
gabe_j Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Dude carpenters flasher!! Really showy fish once comfy he'll dart around your tank flashing them cool colored fins! Mine was awesome i'll probably get a couple more and call my tank full after that lol. Link to comment
brandolando4 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Clown goby!! The green one is purdy Link to comment
Daleo Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I know what people are going to say, but a sixline wrasse is very colorful, but be warned it is somewhat aggressive... Also, a yasha hashi goby and pistol lays low and is colorful too! Link to comment
Ferrari_Jones Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I just restocked my tank and on the list was a firefish. Not as rainbowy, but the iridescent purples all over him more than make up for this. Just a gorgeous fish to look at. Link to comment
lakshwadeep Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 For a more peaceful alternative to the sixline, try a pink-streaked wrasse (Pseudocheilinops ataenia). Link to comment
Daleo Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 ^true They are a little harder to find though. They are also called cryptic wrasses Link to comment
Genj Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 All good suggestions. Thank you! Link to comment
