Your Suggestions Pls: Last fish addition for 15G Nano?

[Macbalacano]

Hi Everyone! Looking for your suggestions for a fish to go into my 15G AIO mixed reef. Please let me know your suggestions and thanks in advance!

Current inhabitants:
- 2 paired juvenile clown fish
- Banded serpent starfish
- Feather Duster
- 40 corals, almost all LPS, with some on the sandbed

Other future planned inhabitants:
- 2 fire or cleaner shrimp
- Maxima Clam

What I'm looking for in a fish:
- Peaceful and non-aggressive
- Relatively hardy and not high-maintenance
- Fun personality and likes to be out and visible (i.e. no cave dwellers)
- Preferably colourful

Current tank shot below

I would suggest a shrimp goby of some sort or gramma. Yes, grammas are technically cave dwellers in nature, however in aquaria (especially nanos) they couldn't be more bold. Bicolor blenny could also be an option. Most other small fish are far too active to be able to comfortably live in a 15g, so things like possum wrasses or fang blennies are out of the question.
Beautiful tank by the way!

I love my yellow clown goby. Sometimes a little tricky to get to eat in the beginning but he’s always out and swimming around or perching and very peaceful

I’d recommend a Pink Streak Wrasse. Mine isn’t anywhere near shy now he’s established. Yes he hangs closer to the rocks but every so often he is out and loving the open water column.

I love the personality of a tail spot goby. If you want a pop of blue and something always out and about you can’t go wrong with a yellow tailed damsel.

 

[jtf74]

Royal gramma would be my choice.

I wouldnt add anything to a small tank with a clown pair. when they mature, theyre terrors. In a small tank, the male himself can be at risk form the females wrath

I was thinking about having 2 clowns, and a pink streak wrasse too, but I feel like the clowns could end up being too aggressive

I'd recommend a sand dweller such as a shrimp goby. The clowns should be OK with a fish not trying to inhabit the water column.

I hope that one day my 15 gallon looks like yours. Yours is awesome! I would say a yasha goby candy cane pistol pair (that’s what I am adding to mine eventually).

Captive bred clown gobies are great eaters, they remind me of clownfish but very small.

I would recommend a shrimp goby/pair along with their shrimp. Yasha, Randal or High fin shrimp goby and a Randal Pistal shrimp.
Yellow head or Blue spot Jawfish will be great also.

Could I do a royal gramma? I loved seeing them down in the bahamas and at the fish store.

 

[steveschuerger]

I can’t believe I’m doing this. Recommending a Six line wrasse. Good fit with clowns as long as it’s the only other fish

Honestly, I also agree with this.

 

[Macbalacano]

Thanks everyone! Just wanted to let you know that I ended up getting a pink streaked wrasse a couple of weeks ago and he’s been great with the clowns. No issues at all and everyone is happy and healthy.

I may still add one more fish in the future as I’m still having to dose nitrates and phosphates.

Candy cane pistol shrimp and goby pair. I love never had issues with temperament for my pair and they were always out.

A gumdrop goby could be fun in there and nice tank!
