in my nano tank (60cmx30cmx30cm) i have 2 ocelaris clownfish
1 mandarine fish
4 hermit crabs
1 pistol shrimp
1 coral banded shrimp
1 trochus snail
1 nirite snail
But i still feel its empty like there is no fish that swim in the middle or in the tank the clownfish still didnt host the anemone which still acclimating
What do u suggest i can get as a fish or i cant add any more fish ? I really would like something colorful and bright just to see some movement in the tank thanks in advance

Wait a bit for the clownfish to host the anemone. I wouldn't add any new fish to the system. Maybe you could add a few more snails.
Buy corals with that money XD

Maybe a Yellow Banded Possum Wrasse?

You could add a small goby in there, like a neon for example. Clowns are going to do their own thing. Sometimes the anemone may never host the clowns, while I have seen other clowns nestle next to the anemone within a few days.

In a tank your size, you’re already at a good stocking level, but there is room for one more small, colorful addition if you’d like to bring some more life to the middle of the water column. Since wrasses won’t be the right fit here, I’d lean toward something like a Royal Gramma or a Firefish. Both of these fish bring vibrant color and tend to stay visible in the tank, darting in and out of the rockwork or hovering mid-water where you’ll actually see that extra movement you feel is missing.

Another option, though a bit more subtle, would be a small goby such as a Neon Goby or a Yellow Watchman. They don’t have the same constant mid-water presence, but they do add a splash of color and personality without overwhelming the tank.

I’d avoid going much further than a single new addition, as nano systems can quickly feel crowded, especially with a mandarin already in the mix. A carefully chosen fish like a Royal Gramma or Firefish should give you that touch of brightness and activity you’re looking for without upsetting the balance of your aquarium.

Stay away from dotty backs they can be terrors…

Then fire fish or royal gramma are the best addition
