I’ve been dealing with my nutrients bottoming out in my tank and would like to get a new fish to help increase the overall bioload on my tank but I’m unsure of what would be the best fit for my tank.
The tank is an Innovative Marine 14 peninsula and it currently has 1 pink streaked wrasse, 1 blue neon cleaner goby, and 3 green banded gobies. They are all very peaceful and low aggression and I would like to keep the environment very chill for them. They just aren’t generating enough waste to keep up with my corals and macroalgae.
I’ve been considering a few larger fish to up the bioload significantly but all of the larger fish I’m interested in seem to be a bit too aggressive to put into the tank. I’d love to do either a Springer's damsel or an orchid dottyback but I’m unsure if they’d be compatible. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
 
Personally I would not add a damsel or dottyback to that tank with that many fish. If you really want one, I would add something very peaceful like another goby. Personally in your shoes I would go for the dosing nutrients option instead of trying my luck to add a 6th fish into that tank. Just my 2 cents good luck
