Fish compatibility

[Philliesphan]

Hey guys! I'm new to R2R. About a month and a half ago, I set up my new 60 gallon saltwater aquarium. Right now, I currently have 2 clowns, and a yellow coris wrasse. I'm wanting to add more fish but, don't know which one(s)? Which are considered more hardy and peaceful? And get along with their tankmates? TIA!!!

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

There are a lot of great options - are you looking for anything in particular (certain color, certain shape, where they usually swim in a tank, etc.)?

If not, my personal suggestions would be a goby/pistol shrimp pair and either a lawnmower or starry blenny, possibly with a pair of cardinalfish or a royal gramma; alternatively you could probably do a yellowtail damsel, an assessor of some kind, or an orchid dottyback. If you don't want the goby pistol pair, then you could do some chalk bass (I personally wouldn't do both in a 60 gallon).

A sandsifting goby to keep your sandbed clean, blenny ( my favorite is a tailspot), royal gramma , one of the more peaceful damsels such as a yellow tail and one of small angels.

Something to make the tank "pop" with color and activity. Ultimately, compatibility with other fish is my goal lol. Don't wanna lose fish due to my error!
