Bring on the clowns

[librarylady]

After losing all my fish to velvet 3 months ago, I am starting to add some fish back to my reef tank. At present time I have two green clown gobies, and a spotted goby. I really love the two green clown gobies which have taken up residence in various corals in the tank. I am considering adding a couple additional clown gobies (another color) or some percula clowns. I am concerned that there might be too much competition over the choice spots in the corals. As it is now each clown goby has staked out his spot at opposite ends of the tank (55 gallon). Also considering adding some cardinal fish, and a watchman goby or mandarin (I have lots of copepods in my main tank--and more in a small quaranitine tank .) I would like to keep this as a very passive tank but I would like to add some color and movement--and the fish I have now are pretty low key. Ideas?

Hi librarylady, Welcome to Reefland!

I don't know that any of the fish you mention would add a lot of movement; the clownfish would at least remain visible and provide some bright colors.

How about a dwarf angel, like a Coral Beauty?

I have two maroon clowns and they travel all over a 55 gal but they do stay with their anemone at night.
