Cardinal? Both the Bangaii and PJ types kind of just hover out in the open day and night. | |

A goby or blenny would be a good addition. Or you could go with a smaller wrasse.

I'm a fan of six lines, though they can be mean and nasty to new tankmates you try to add down the road.

Firefish Goby. They are small, pretty, stay in the open, and are peaceful tankmates for the clowns. | |

I like wrasses but i have heard they are jumpers. The tank is open top. I did just go to WWC and got a Hector Goby. He does hide some but he is a cool looking fish. He is real small and the clowns do give a crap about him. He might be an inch long at most. Still thinking about maybe one more.

Be careful with what you add. Skunks can be a particularly nasty species of clown, so as they mature, they may start going after your other fish. I'd say to avoid really peaceful fish like firefish, just in case they do turn into bullies. | |

See I heard that Skunks where some of the most friendliest of all clowns.

Definitely not, skunks are notoriously mean. Yellow assessor basslets are really cool fish, but they do tend to hide in the rock work until comfortable.

I guess I was informed wrong. I always thought they where the nicest. This is why they can be housed in more then just a group of two. Well so far they are nice and do not both the Hector's Goby one bit.

How about a starry blenny? It is one my favorite fish in my tank and he doesn't take any crap of my other fish.
