Fish suggestions

My clown just died. I have a clownfish and a tailspot blenny, what fish should I get? I have a 15 gallon fluval flex AIO. I'm not getting another clownfish.

Do you have a good idea as to why the clownfish died? If not, it is usually prudent to wait 30 to 45 days after the last loss of a fish before adding any new ones. You don't want to add a new fish if there is a risk that there is a simmering parasite issue in the aquarium....

He got beat up by my other clownfish. I woke up and he had scratches on his body and bite marks all over his fins. Then he died shortly after.

I forgot to add that I have a peppermint shrimp. Ive read some stuff that a pistol shrimp will fight with a peppermint shrimp in such a small tank.

I think I maybe want to get a watchman though, would it be fine without a pistol shrimp?

I have a watchman without a pistol and he is fine, he usually stays right at the burrows entrance, and sometimes I target feed him, but he is fine
