because i was wondering if i can get chromis.

Yes.. but only 1. Typically they are labeled as "schooling" fish.. Maybe true in a large tank.. but in yours, they will kill each other off till you only have 1 left anyway..

Yes. The clowns are aggressive. The dottyback may become aggressive. With such a small tank, I can't in good conscious advise more than 2 more fish and that is pushing it.

I got mine from my LFS about 3 years ago. IDR if I have seen them in his tanks again, but I haven't been looking.. If you ask, I am sure they can order one for you.

I'd go with a Springeri Damsel if you can find one. Good pest defense fish and as peaceful (or moreso) than the Talbot's. Both are good choices if you can't find a Talbot's.

So hard to get good photos of fish... Here is a crappy shot of my Talbot's damsel...

I love the Talbots.. Beautiful coloration, active swimmer and peaceful.

The picture doesn't even begin to show it's true beauty. Brilliant yellow head progressing into a mild lavender body... It is such a stunning fish...
