Finishing Stocking, want ideas!

Hello! I have a 15g cube with an oscellaris clown and a cleaner shrimp. Want to add one more fish

I've considered the following but decided against for various reasons:


a male clown: worried they won't pair, and two clowns might be pushing it for a 15g
firefish: clown may be aggressive towards it
yellow banded possum wrasse: pricey
tailspot blenny: Heard they may have an appetite for corals
Flaming Prawn Goby: Dicy to feed, may not work with clownfish
clown goby: may pick at corals
eviota and trimma gobies: not excited by the species I've seen so far
court jester from biota: Can be tough to feed?

What could you recommend?

I’d go for a couple of Eviota or Trimma species. The reason why is if you get a good species (Say Trimma caudomaculatum) then it may actually be mid identified and cheaper than when they’re identified.
I got two true Trimma tevegae a while ago (Unfortunately I lost both due to stress) and they were much cheaper than when they’re actually Identified. They were just sold under the name “Trimma species”.

If you can get one then I would go for a Pseudocheilinops ataenia or a Wetmorella albofasciata instead. These guys are worth the money, I’m currently hunting for a Wetmorella tanakai pair to go with my Pseudocheilinops ataenia trio. I know they’re pricey but these are worth it all, they have the full pattern as juveniles but as they age they’re stunning. Pseudocheilinops ataenia have a stunning pattern that just gets better with age and they always have giant bug eyes. I have an article on the care of Pseudocheilinops and the Wetmorella species’ have a very similar care.

Thank you! Particularly the Wetmorella albofasciata caught my eye. What a beautiful fish!

Where might I find your article?

I believe if you just search either;
“Wrasse with Bug Eyes” or “Pseudocheilinops ataenia” it’ll be one of the first ones.

Great article! If I can find one, I'll definitely grab a Wetmorella albofasciata or Wetmorella tanakai! Thanks for the help
