New fish for 5 gallon tank

[p7willm]

I've got a 5 gallon tank with a clown that lives in the frog on the left side of the tank along with some snails, crabs and a few polyps of zoas. They have all been happy for about a month now and about a week ago I added 2 peppermint shrimp. There is no ammonia or nitrites and nitrates are kept down by a 20% water change weekly. Everybody seems happy, the clown hangs out in the frog and everybody else, except the corals, wanders around the tank.

The frog and clown live on the left side with the frag plug for the frog in the sand that covers the entire bottom 1-2 inches thick. There is a bunch of live rock on the right with nothing swimming around, occasionally the shrimp swim but mostly they walk ;-}.

What little fish could I add to give some life to the right side and the upper water column?

Most small fish hang around the rocks rather than the open water. Also, as clowns get bigger, they get more territorial. A 5g doesn't really afford much space for another fish.

+1 to that, however depending on how much space is taken up by rock you could probably have another clown in there to make a pair

You can add male betta fish or also try goldfish. Recently I have bought a 5-gallon tank checking the details from https://fishboxpro.com/best-fish-tank/best-5-gallon-fish-tank/, this site. My tank is fully decorated with live rocks, LED lighting systems, goldfishes, and male betta fish. All of them moving normally.

Goldfish are too big and messy for a 5g, and neither a betta or goldfish will live in a reef tank.
