    Hello everyone. I just wanted to get some opinions on what fish you would put in my tank. I am looking to add some cool fish but im unsure of what I want to do. I already have a pair of clowns, and the fish need to be reef safe.

    Royal grammas are one of my favourite fish, one in your set up would be good. Maybe a bicolour blenny, they also help by eating many different types of algae. Plus a small shoal of chromis which are very peaceful would also fit in well.

    A chalk goby or a watchman goby with pistol shrimp (but do not put the gobies together) would also work.

    The chromis i think would be really cool, how many would you say. I though maybe 3, but i have heard they do best in groups of 6

    3-6 would be fine, Personally I would go with 5.
