Fish suggestions

I'm looking to get one or to more fish for my tank. I currently have a skunk shrimp and a springeri dottyback (not full grown yet), love the springeri hes so cool . I'm concerned b/c the dottyback has been the only fish in the tank for about a month now, and I'm pretty sure its going to think it owns the whole tank. It's been fine with the shrimp so far, no problems there. I was thinking if I got a fish that was semi-agressive, or maybe a pair of fish, it would be less likely to kill what I put in here. I also have some Xenia and an anemone, so it would need to be reef safe. Any suggestions?

Tank size is in my sig

 

A sixline would be nice, royal gamma, a yellow tailed damsel or even a nice pair of clowns.

 

no i think the sixline and gramma are both out, the springeri is territorial and likes caves...so i dont think it would get along with cave dwelling fish. the yellowtail or the clowns seem cool, i've missed having clowns in the tank

 

Fire Fish...? or .. Yellow watchman gobie I have a 24 gal nano .. and have a Valentin Puffer.. Lots of personality there..

 

^ you have a valentin puffer in a 24 gal? isn't that a bit cramped? Anyways man, i personally have alot of knowledge with dotty backs. I own one and i know exactly how territorial they can be. I would honestly choose wisely, but its gonna be a hard pic. My tiny little dottyback nearly killed a dragon wrasse that was twice its size. It did kill several damsels, and its currently working on my coral beauty. It would be best to get a very active fish that can easily hold its own against a dotty back. make sure it is larger then the dotty as well.

 

Not realy its only like a 1.5 inch and max size may get to 3inch... I guess you can say its my main fish with a couple smaller ones..

 

^ hey! i have the same exact nano as yours! yours looks alot nicer though. When i went to Florida for spring break, the genius who watched our house left my light on for the entire 7 days.... never turned it off at night. Algae everywhere...

 

Wow now that sucks... go to your local walmart or DIY and pick up a couple light timers...

 

yea, light timers are awesome. Looks like it is going to be a tough pick. I'm kind of leaning towards the pair of clowns, the other pair I had were pretty agressive...but i think im going to do alot of waiting to get a good sized pair (the female I got before was pretty large). I think whats really limiting me is my tank size and my shrimp. So I guess I have some more thinkin to do. I just don't want to get rid of the dottyback or the shrimp. I'll let you guys know what my final pick is and how it all works out

 

I thought grammas, dottybacks, and pseudochromis were not compatible. My vote is for a six line. It would likely clash with your current fish for a couple days, but they'd be fine. Damsels are also an option. Firefish would get beat up.
