I might buy this tank above^ I am getting it for under 200 bucks, and might get it buy just trading but anyways.

I am getting rid of all fish, until I can get a grip on what the hell I am doing. So I want ONE fish, that will just be a chill fish who will cruise around. I don't care if he has to be the only fish in there, it can be easy-medium, he will be introduced in about 5-6 months after I have the tank. I want to have some inverts, but if its to mean to have any Ill deal without out them.

I got the basis down on keeping it, and Ill learn the rest while going down.

Any suggestions are great.:22:

Go for it. Thats a great deal. if your reffering to the chocolate chip starfish last time I read it said they arent reef safe.
IMO blennys are really interesting fish. Great reef fish to.

Any blenny belonging to the Ecsenius genus would be a great addition.

You may want forego/trade/give away the chocolate chip sea star, they're not exactly reef-safe (can pose a danger to corals).

EDIT: I'm a slow typer! Amazon's post wasn't there when I started my reply, but it seems we're both on the same sheet of music!

Don't the blennies hide a lot though?
I want something thats bigger, like a flame angel or something like that.
THanks for the help!

My blennys dont hide very much but i dont know much about angels so maybe someone else can help with that.

My blenny is a very active swimmer, it only hides 30min prior to the lights going out. Some blennies such as the midas blenny get 4"-6" and are not small(and are larger than members of the blenny genus I recommended which only attain 2" or so). A pygmy angel may not be entirely reef safe (will depend on species and even individuals in the species). I'm not sure how well suited they are to a 25gal tank.

A royal gramma or black cap gramma can be options as well.

Of course there are a multitude of options to go with. What fish appeal to you the most?

lol, any fish that is bigger, that swims like a angel. I want someone to see my tank and wow at my only fish.

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

my lawnmower blenny is a very active fish hes always eating algae off the glass and swimming around everywere :) thumbs2:

I know you want one "wow" fish in this tank but with 50-60lbs of LR in a 25g tank, you won't have much room for most "wow" fish. Seeing that you are new to SW and are learning how to keep the tank alive, I would recommend a small school of blue-green chromis. Usually they are between $5-$10 each and are a very nice looking fish. They form a tight school so they will always be out and visable. This might be an inexpensive "first step" to try. Several types of damsels can be very nice too, but can be aggressive towards others in the tank.
