I upgraded from a jbj 28 to a 50 gallon cube with a 20 gallon sump and I want to add more fish but I can't decide. Current tank inhabitants are as follows
1 adult Percula
1 small sixline
1 med royal gramma
1 small cherub angel
2 halloween hermits
1 serpent star
1 cleaner shrimp
1 squat lobster
Various snails

I have a mixed reef mostly sps, lps, and a BTA

Possible new fish I'm looking at but not sure what to get. Open to other suggestions but really like these.

yasha/pistol pair
Springeri dottyback
Bartlets anthias
Blue dot jawfish

Anybody with experience here wanna help me make a decision ???
I'm leaning towards a few bartlets anthias and goby/shrimp pair. I have a big skimmer and I'm running biopellets so I think my tank can handle them ?

The dottyback and sixline will likely fight.

Bluespot jaws prefer cooler water temps than most keep their tanks.

+1^^^ I love my flame hawk! very active - perches all over the tank- Goby/pistol is an awesome combination. I might stop at that - 2 fish and the shrimp

Flame hawks are the best personality wise, the anthias would prolly need a bit more swimming room, and if you get the jawfish, make sure you have a good cover, those things jump all the time.
