    My boyfriend and I are looking to get a new fish after the sump is set up. We need a FREESWIMMING fish. all if our rockwork and hiding places are taken . I also need a fish that is not going to fit into the dwarf lionfish's mouth. So it needs to have some high to it, not just length.

    So far this is what we have...
    2 extreme misber clowns
    1 dwarf angel
    1 dwarf lion
    1 snowflake eel
    1 starry blenny

    We are having trouble thinking of fish that meet these criteria. So anything u guys can think of is appreciated :)

    All fish, even free swimming ones, are going to need a place to hide and sleep. If they're all taken in your tank, that's not really going to work out.

    I know. But everybody seems fine the angel fish doesn't fit and the clowns are feisty and can hold their own. The eel and him just don't pay attention to each other cause we feed them well and they stay happy

    you your pretty much stocked up to the brim. if you want to add anything else i would suggest getting rid of one of your lions.
