Adding new fish

[New2Fishes123]

I was wondering what some of you would recommend for adding my next new fish to my FOWLR tank. I currently have 2 clowns, a lemon peel angel and a chocolate chip star fish. All get along great, no aggression and the tank is about one year mature. Any thoughts or recommendations?

What type of fish are you looking for? Some Halichoeres wrasses or Leopard wrasses might be a nice addition if you have sand in the tank. Most tangs are too big.

This is my Dot Dash Butterfly (aka Spotband). Very hardy, and stay at about 5".

What a great looking fish. Are they aggressive?

A Starry Blenny might be nice.

I'd go with a peaceful fish like a royal gramma, firefish, or a fairy wrasse. They fit well with your current stock and add great color without causing trouble. Just be sure to quarantine first and avoid anything that might nip at your lemon peel or harass the clowns.

I would get a blenny or goby next! Can't go wrong with a Yellow Watchman Goby

@New2Fishes123 , not agressive, but in your 60 gallon it might not like a new fish after it settles in, so might be good to go last.

Also I was thinking you might like a Flame Hawk; they perch on rocks and sand, rather than swim much in the typical fashion.

Blennies are always fun. I have a bicolor blenny who is always keeping an eye on the tank.

You could get a goby as well. Watchman are fun. Clown gobies are another goby that will always be watching you.

Ok great info. I looked into the fairy wrasse and it does look like a good addition. Thank you for your help
