Looking for small fish who won't be stressed by larger ones.

Royal grammas have always done well for me with more aggressive fish

I bought six from Biota trying to crease a shoal. They thought it would work. Within a few months they were ALL gone.

I also have a Flame Hawk who no one messes with. I worry about him with my Cleaner, Blood and Peppermint shrimps but he's been a good boy thus far. I feed HEAVY!

Mine hasn’t bothered my peppermints or cleanup crew - he’s my favorite fish, such a character!

Re: Pygmy angels, even my captive bred angel (coral beauty) picked at and killed LPS. Either find some from a tank breakdown that are known to be good citizens or avoid.

you could go for some damsels, they'll hold their ground against anything. I'm a big fan of the blue yellow belly ones.

+1 on the Ukrainian damsels.
