I have a 15 gallon tank and the current inhabitants are 2 wide bar black ocellaris clowns. In the future I will also add a cleaner shrimp. Is it reasonable to add any more fish to such a small tank? If so what would be good options for an additional fish?
My 180g display has been up for just under a year and this is what I’m thinking to round out my stocking list:
In Tank - currently
Cleaner shrimp - hermit crabs and snails assorted.
Clown pair
Damsels - Azure & Springeri
Bristletooth tang
Sailfin tang
Foxface
Yellow coris wrasse
Mandarin -...
