Hello y’all got some questions about my stocking plan or what specifically to stock. I currently have a 30 gallon tank with a YWMG, clown goby, and a pair of green chromis. I plan to add a pair of clownfish last, however I wanted 1 more fish before so!! Any thoughts on fish recommendations? I was going to get either

1) Bi color blenny

2) dartfish

3) cherub Angel

If you plan on coral, I wouldn’t add the blenny or Angel. The Angel will outgrow the tank anyway however the blenny will become a potential nipper.
The dart fish will be too timid for your planned stock. You also already have an established Watchman Goby which is a more aggressive species of Goby (Yes, Firefish are a goby species). Along with this you plan on a pair of clownfish, these two will max you out with 6 fish being a nice number for that size tank considering four of them will have rather large territories.

Appreciate the advice good thoughts to consider and make me re think my stocking plan. I just want one more fish that adds some activity level to the top. Right now I got 2 bottom dwellers, INWAS looking for a fish that likes to swim around
