Stocking Suggestions

[Bear Claw]

I have a 32.5 gallon mixed reef system with many different invertibrates. I have 1 bangaii cardinal fish, 1 royal gramma, 1 springer damsel, and a tailspot blenny. My 2 clownfish recently passed away and I am going to purchase 2 new ones and quarantine them today. I was thinking about getting another fish today. Any suggestions for what fish? Or should I just stick with the 2?

Also, my previous clownfish I got lucky with and they were a boy and a girl, but when selecting them from a large batch, how can you tell the gender so I can get another pair of male female?

Just get two similar sized small clowns, they'll figure out who will be M/F

Thank you! If I was to get a goby and pistol shrimp pair would that be okay?

That would be fine. I have two pairs, a hi fin red banded goby with a candy cane pistol and a YWG with a tiger pistol. FWIW, I hardly see the hi fin and the YWG is always out

Pretty much. You can also just buy into an already mated pair. Sometimes buying two random little fishies can end badly. Odds are that won't happen but there's still a chance.
