I’ve put together a stock list for my 40g tank

I do not have a sump, am using a large canister filter with bio spheres. I’m running a skimmer as well with loads of live rock.

this is my list that I’d like:

X2 clowns
X3 anthias
X3 chromis
Pistol shrimp goby pair
Flame hawkfish
Lemon peel angel
Bta Anemone
Cuc

could I add anything else fish why to the tank, or is this the max capacity?

I would say that 6-7 fish would be the max capacity, maybe 8, but 11 fish is way too many for 40 gallon.
The tank is way too small for 3 anthias, too small for even just one really. Even trying to fit the angel is pushing it.

Would suggest to google "minimum tank size" for your fish, trying to fit fish into a tank thats too small usually results in jumping, aggression, or disease.

Thank you, shame I really like anthias. I will remove them from the list
