Looking for suggestions for additional fish

[Schraufabagel]

I have a 25 gallon tank. Currently stocked with 2 clownfish, Banggai cardinal, and a sharknose goby. I got a clown goby, but haven’t seen him in weeks, even during feeding, so I’m pretty certain he’s dead somewhere.

My nitrates and phosphates have been very low even with daily feeding. I’m looking for suggestions for a 5th fish. Additionally, would my tank have enough space for a 6th fish?

The Banggai may be a bully to new comers. I've given up on those for small tanks. I would consider a helfrichi firefish or a purple firefish. Also a possum or pink streak wrasse. See if your LFS will take the Banggai as a trade.

How about a Talbot?

I’m in the same situation as you!!

How about a tailspot blenny? Or like above a possum wrasse?

Orchid dottyback. It will spend most of its time parked in a cave with its snout sticking out!

I spent money on a Possum Wrasse for a nano tank and he would only hide.

Do tailspot blennies nip at corals at all?

How about a Talbot?

How aggressive is that type of damsel?

My Banggai is actually very peaceful. It’s my sharknose that likes to nip at the other fish

I have a firefish goby in my 55 that I see maybe once a week. Thought sure he was dead as well, but he pops out every now and then to surprise me.

I also would like to add another fish or 2 to this tank as I would like more movement and life in my tank.

Generally speaking, Talbot and Azures are considered the most 'chill.' I had in mind that you already have other fish in there, so he will likely find his preferred domain from what is left-- as opposed to having been the first fish in, and claiming a territory to defend like he is some sort of King of the Mountain. Ive only ever had a Talbot chase other Talbots.

I have a talbot's damsel in my 180.. he is smaller than most of the rest of his mates and shows no signs of aggressiveness.. Is that going to be accurate in a 25? I can't say.

Helfrichi firefish. Love mine. So beautiful.

I haven’t noticed it. He will definitely pick at algae growing on corals though.

 

[Schraufabagel]

Does anyone have any experience with striped blennies?

 

[Schraufabagel]

Currently leaning toward a yellowtail damsel. As long as the 25 gallon wouldn’t be too small

Never had them in a reef tank but breeding tanks I have. They are pretty active and love to be in groups.

When I upgrade I plan to have a school of 3-5 of them in a 100g.

Would the Pomacentrus pavo damselfish be a good option? Looking at the Biota captive bred one

What about a royal gramma
