Hey, Yeah I'd like a few more, not sure what though, probably not clowns as I'd like a peaceful vibe, thinking maybe a possum wrasse though I'm not sure what else I could get.
Open to any suggestions :)

That's not a bad idea! You could also do a royal gramma, firefish, or a longnose hawkfish!

I have a RG in there at the moment, I did think about a fire fish but I only have a mesh top on it unfortunately, love a long nose though, might they eat my snails/future coral?

thanks!
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

    Votes: 16 32.7%
  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

    Votes: 6 12.2%
  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

    Votes: 7 14.3%
  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

    Votes: 11 22.4%
  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

    Votes: 9 18.4%
  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

    Votes: 8 16.3%
  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

    Votes: 2 4.1%
  • I haven’t really considered this before

    Votes: 4 8.2%
