What should I add with my Clown and Fire fish?

[HSalty]

I have a pet store that just specializes in saltwater fish and invertabrates, and their prices and selection are awesome too. I have an Ocelarris clown and a reg. fire fish and a zebra hermit. They are in a 33gal tank, fully cycled and up and running for about 2 1/2 months. ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 3-5, pH 8.3, SG 1.023. This is my very first saltwater aquarium, so I am new to SW fish. Now, I don't know what to put in with my fish that is a beginner fish that will be compadible. I was thinking of adding a yellow tail damsel but I don't want to risk messing up the peacefullness in my tank. I was also thinking of putting in 2 Chromis but I hear they should be in a school of 6 or more and my tank is too small. I was also thinking about adding a yellow clown goby, maybe 2 since my tank has enough space for each one to claim their own territory. But they are small and there would still be enough room for one more small fish. I don't know. What do you guys think?

You can do a single chromis, it'll be fine in there by itself. Have you looked at any of the dwarf angels? Or, maybe a colorful wrasse of some kind.

Flame Angel :mrgreen:

Yea, I thought of a fire angel but at the fish store they are $90! Too expensive! Maybe I'll do a chromis and a bangai cardinal. I'm trying to stick with fish that don't spend all day hiding. The fire fish does enough of that for the whole tank.

 

[Toolman]

My fault didn't pay attention to your location I only paied $40 for mine

I agree, a single chromis or a six line wrasse will be nice for your tank.

Dang $90! The wholesalers here have them for like $23. I also vote for the chromis. Very underrated fish.

 

[Waddi]

Yep Chromis are very characteristic fish, i would go for one of them.
By the way, where abouts in Canada are you??

 

[HSalty]

So, I spoke to the pet store and they told me that they have had success keeping 2 chromis together without fighting, but if worse comes to worse I can always bring one back. So, I think I'm going to go with 2 chromis and a pajama cardinal.

I love in British Columbia.

What kind of sand do you have? If its finer sand I would recommend a sandsifting goby I love mine he keeps the sand really clean.

My favorite fish in my tank though is my midas blenny she is so fun and active and entertaining.

I think adding 3 more fish to your tank is really going to be pushing it. I would only add one more. But the fish that you have picked out will all work well in there.
