Guys, help me, is that ok to have a pair of ocellaris, one yellow watchman, one fridmani and one damsel yellow tail (the last one to get in) together? It's a 40 cm cube, about 60L, about 16gallon. And plus that could I add a jawfish?

Ok, so not many options for that size a tank, how about a possum wrasse? Other options are pygmy coral grouchers, clown gobies, or a neon gobyHi guys, I'm new to SW tanks, basically the ultimate noob. To make things worse, I'm also on a budget to say the very least, so the best I can do is a 5g pico reef tank. I'm looking for a fish that is reef safe, have some good colors and doesn't want to hide all the time.
I can almost hear you saying tailspot blenny but please no. I just don't like the looks of that fish.
I second this. Or you could do a tank that is for inverts only, making use of feather duster worms, active shrimp, and colorful hermit crabs.Ok, so not many options for that size a tank, how about a possum wrasse? Other options are pygmy coral grouchers, clown gobies, or a neon goby
Tbh I'll mostly do corals, I just want something to bring some activity and movement into the tank. Also it would be great if it had great colors. I'd prefer fish but actually I'd prefer an active invert over a hiding fish any time.I second this.

What do you think would be easier for a beginner, an invert tank or a small fish?I second this. Or you could do a tank that is for inverts only, making use of feather duster worms, active shrimp, and colorful hermit crabs.

You can add the crab, but only one for fish. Id add a pygmy coral groucher, possum wrasse, two spot blenny, or a goby pistol shrimp pairCurrently have a fluval 13.5. Right now I just have a clownfish and a gramma w a turbo snail in there plus 1 frogspawn 1 torch & 1 gsp on back wall. Was thinking of adding a porcelain crab, a cleaner shrimp, and maybe one other fish if that doesn’t feel like too much. Would it be too overstocked with these additions? & is the porcelain crab a good idea? Any ideas for what might be good?
edit: and some Rasta zoanthids but they hitchhiked on the rock so sometimes I forget they’re there
If you don’t have corals you should look into a dwarf angel. I’d say don’t get a lionfish or scorpionfish bc your smaller fish are never off the menu, but eels for the most part are a safe predator fish. Butterflyfish all get too big. The only one that’s really suitable for a tank that size is the atlantic longnose and they’re pretty uncommon in stores. I would also only do either 2 mandarins or 1 mandarin and 1 yellow coris wrasse, bc with 2 obligate copepod eaters and 1 fish that also spends a lot of time eating them, you’re gonna have to reseed your tank like once every 1.5 months.what would you recommend for a 75 gallon?
i currently have a bell’s flasher, clownfish pair, royal gramma pair(may get another during the upgrade) and a mandarin
i am looking at having a good school of red stripe cardinals, another mandarin to pair with my current one. i do like the tomini tang but i think i’d get the molly miller and a yellow coris. also i’d like to get a banggai cardinal pair, maybe a kite butterfly and maybe a harlequin filefish pair(my lfs regularly trains them onto frozen)
i really like scorps and eels… i’d probably get a few leaf scorps/dwarf lion and an eel?
What are the dimensions of your tank?I'm 1.5 years into this hobby, started out with a 45 gallon tank and moved to a 110 tank. I currently have a pair of occelaris clowns, a 6 line wrasse, a coral beauty, a diamond watchman goby, a lawnmower blenny, a tailspot blenny, and a royal gramma along with an assortment of inverts and would really like to add a tang but I see lots of conflicting info on what kind would be compatible and likely not to disrupt my current tank and not out grow it as well. Any suggestions would be helpful. Eventually I plan on trying to add some newbie corals as well if that needs to be considered.

i’ve trained my current mandarin onto mysis successfully, do you think if i got a smaller wrasse it would make a difference from the yellow coris?If you don’t have corals you should look into a dwarf angel.
