    I have a 36 gallon bow front that is FOWLR.

    I currently have a maroon clownfish, bicolor blenny, flame angel & blood red shrimp.

    I'm going to add a skunk shrimp but wifey is on me to add another fish. She wants to see more life in the tank swimming around since the blenny just darts back and forth from any holes in rocks in front of tank. The maroon clownfish just hangs out under an opening in rocks and just waits for blenny to come out of holes so they can chase each other. It's funny they both try to bully each other but it's harmless!

    The flame angel is only fish that does anything in tank and swims around and is very active. We had a skunk shrimp that was all over the place but died a few weeks ago and blood red shrimp only appears when its hungry other then that it hides waiting for me to feed.

    I'm actually afraid to get another fish because flame angel and maroon clownfish might be a problem with new fish. I'm also afraid to bring anything new in because of disease since we have no quarantine tank.

    I was looking into getting maybe 2-3 Blue/Green Reef Chromis since what I read these are the less aggressive ones except towards each other. I was also thinking maybe a yellowtail damsel but I know ALL damsels can be semi-aggressive. Maybe I need that so they can defend themselves? Maybe a royal gamma but figure the bicolor blenny might have a problem with it?

    What would you recommend for a fish? Any of these are ok? Should I just leave things alone and just get another skunk shrimp and call it a day?

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    I would just leave it be. Get a BTA for the Maroon and that should make her happy.

    You will probably have trouble adding another fish with the maroon if it is already showing agression,especially any other type of damsel.
