Need advise on adding more fish

[Vitaly S]

Hey all,

I am thinking of adding more fish to my tank and would like to hear suggestions from all of you.

I have RedSea Reefer 250 which is 55 gal display with 11 gal sump. Currently I have 2 clown fish, 2 Azure Damsels, 1 Randalls Anthias and 1 Midas Blenny. I also have a cleaner shrimp, brittle starfish and bubble tip anemone, a few solft and LPS corals.

I have tried adding a Pintail Wrasse, however I think he was bullied by my fish, leading not to eat and death in a week of getting him

I have noticed that clowns like the back corner near overflow and protect this corner chasing every fish away. Azure Damsels flare at each other and clowns, but seen mostly them chasing each other. Randalls Anthias hides from me in rocks, except when I feed them, but I did see him chase Azure Damsels, so even though he is listed as peaceful he can protect himself.

So could anyone recommend any other fish to me that I can put in my tank? Is it already stocked enough and there is not enough room for fish?
I am considering adding diamond goby to clean up my sand. Currently fighting algae (think it is GHA or Briopsis)

Thank you for the your suggestions.

The problem when you have an aggressive fish is a lot of the time it will bully any new fish. For instance I have a friend with a 29 gallon with only a single clownfish in there and that's because it kills everything else. However you could try something like an orchid dottyback as they can hold their own, benggai cardinal (I haven't seen a fish even acknowledge their existence), or you could try another wrasse like a Melanurus wrasse as I think they are quite a bit hardier than pintails ime.

If your Damsels stick to the lower part of the tank get something that swims in the upper part like Green Chromis or Anthias.

Thank you for suggestions. Damsels are all over so can't say they would not bother other fish. I will look into fish you suggested. Will adding diamond goby + dottyback + 2x cardinals be too much to my 6 fish?
