    Def no, that tank is to small to start with for the foxface IMO and your already at your max. I would not add any more fish.

    I voted yes, you are probably at the high end of stocking, but if you keep up with maintenance, you should be good. Also, one thing that I have seen with Chromis is that you might start with 3, but a lot of times you will usually end up with just one left. You might also experience some aggression issues with the blue damsel.
