Tank mates

Hi everyone. I have a 25 gallon lagoon with a very small storm clownfish, a small six line wrasse and a BSJ. I was looking to get another fish for the tank and was wondering what everyone thought would be compatible with them. TIA

Hmmm Those fish tend to be very territorial so I would add new fish with caution (especially with that six line). A neon blue cleaner goby would probably be fine, I dont know too much about BSJ other wise i would recommend a sand sifter or bottom tank swimmer fish.

Awesome, thank you. Yeah the

of course! a 25 gallon lagoon has a decent amount of horizontal swim space so depending on where everyones territories are set you could have a wide variety of fish to add but unfortunately i cannot think of them off the top of my head : p. the only other one i can say would be good is a bangai cardinal

sounds good. I really like the cleaner goby. Just need to find a place that sells them quarantined because I have had some pretty bad outbreaks in the past

how many more fish do you think I can add to my tank? Out of curiosity bc I’m not exactly sure.
(Ik my tank looks terrible I’m trying to get rid of algae rn)

hmmm I have a 26 gallon cube and currently have 3 fish, I would say the max would be about 5-ish? depending on the size of the fish you add and their max sizes

also the tank looks great! love the rockscape, don't worry the GHA is a constant in all reefers tanks at somepoint, god knows how long it took me to finally clear it out of my tank!

GHA is not a constant in all reefer's tanks. Real ocean live rock is the solution...
