24G bare bottom additional fish suggestions required please

[Wee Mad Arthur]

I’ve currently got 2 young Amphiprion ocellaris and was hoping to find some other active fish to go with them but seem to be drawing a blank. As per the title I have a 24G bare bottom (600mm long x 400mm x 400mm) so anything that needs sand isn‘t any good. The tank is covered so jumpers not a problem. Please help.

Take a look at Blennies. There are several that are < 2-3". Might even be able to get away with a Midas. They get bigger but aren't big swimmers. Mine just flutters around the rocks.... Lots of cool inverts too. A few Azure Damsels would fit too. They'd ads a lot of color and movement, and aren't very aggressive towards other fish.

Thank you, I’ll look into those suggestions. Mixed info on keeping multiple Azures, do you know if they can be kept singularly?

Twin spot and tailspot blennies are are great fun little fish.

Yes absolutely.

Tailspots are awesome - I have one. Not too much of an open water swimmer, but very active.

I like the idea of a single Azure Damsel I think.
What are people’s thoughts on a single Bangaii Cardinal as well? I think they look really interesting. I’m reading that they’re only non aggressive when paired off so either I’d have to find a pair or have a single one.

A single bangaii would be fine. Blennies are a good suggestion too, but not exactly active...although they make up for it in personality.

Other suggestions:
Royal gramma
Firefish
Possum wrasse

What are people’s thoughts on the following?

2x clowns (already have)
1x Banggai Cardinal
1x Firefish
1x Azure Damsel
