    What about a lawnmower blenny? I don't know much about smaller tanks, but with my 55 every fish except the clown has to earn it's keep, and a blenny might have to be supplemented algae sheets in a tank that small but he will keep things clean also. Just a thought!

    I agree with the scooter suggestion, if you can find one that is eating at the lfs. Also, the six-line wrasse is a good addition to a small tank and they generally eat like little piggies so you don't have to worry about starving them to death. After having a smaller tank with a couple of clowns, I wouldn't suggest you put many more fish in it!

    I would steer clear of the Lawnmower blenny. Mine is slowly starving in a 90g tank with a very sparce cleaning crew. In fact, I have held off getting the cleaning crew because (1) the tank is doing fine with what it has and (2) it would depete the food source for the blenny and it will die for sure. I still hold out hope for it, it seems to have stopped losing weight, but a LB in a small tank will end up badly I fear. Most do not accept prepared foods and will only eat the junk on the rocks and glass. Mine doesn't even go for pods.

    I would go sixline if you add another fish. I love mine, but I have heard that some are real ******s. I have a 24gal aquapod, and all I have is 1 clown and 1 sixline.
