Could I add one more fish?

[ChintzySnail]

Hello all,

I have a 32.5g fluval tank.
Currently it has 5 fish.
2 clown (fancy & snow), a pygmy fire angel, a lawnmower blenny and a green mandarin dragonet.

I am comfortable with this amount and think 3 with swimbladders and two without is sufficient. But I was watching them today and thought I could possibly add one more. May? Nay

I Currently have no plans to add coral yet.
I want to eventually add an Anemone.

Currently my CuC is 1 Tuxedo Urchin, 1 Emerald Crab, 1 Cleaner Shrimp, 2 tiger conch, 4 Nyssarius Snails, 4 Trochus snails, 4 Florida Cerith and 8 Dwarf Cerith.

I have a chaeto refugium in the works to make feeding my dragonet less expensive.

Im thinking I'm nearing max capacity, save for a pim pom crab or some more shrimp.

Would it be possible to add one more fish?
Any suggestions for the blue, yellow or purple kind if so?

Thank you!

You could definitely add more fish. I know a few people with 7 in their 32's.

A royal gramma would be nice, it has purple and yellow!

A flame angel will absolutely outgrow a 32. In your current state, I wouldn’t add a new fish- but once you have to rehome the flame I would add 2 fish in its place. In my 32 biocube I have a purple firefish, percula pair, tailspot blenny and YWG.

For inverts I have some hermits, snails, a pistol for the the YWG and a fire shrimp. I would suggest you add more inverts in the place of shrimp since my fire shrimp definitely fills the void of more fish, but you already have a good invert stock. If your tank is doing well now, I would keep it that way!

It’s fun to add new fish but IMO it’s not worth upsetting the balance in a smaller tank.

Maybe a few small nano fish
Like masked gobies, tiger gobies, barnacle blennies, etc. All fish less than or equal to 1 inch. However, I've heard clownish can be aggressive to fish that small.

you have room for a one or two more small fish. If you want blue, yellow, and purple I think a sapphire damsel, ywg and a purple firefish would be some good options.
