35 gallon stocking ideas

[reef15]

Hi! I am hoping to get some ideas of what fish to add to my tank. My tank is 35 gallon display, 5 gallon AIO sump


Right now I have:

- Fire fish
- Tail spot blenny
- Spotted pigmy filefish (1 inch now, 2 inches full grown)
- 2 ghost shrimp (I would be willing to rehome these as they came with the tank but they aren’t my favorite.)


My fire Fish and tail spot hides a lot, so I would like another colorful fish. I thought about adding clowns but I had some in the past and they were jerks to the other fish. All these fish are pretty peaceful. I don’t know if I want more territorial fish.

Here are some options I had in mind. I’m not sure what would fit. Or which ones would get along with the fish I already have.

- Banggai cardinal (1 or 2 ?)
- Lemon (citrus) flow goby (my lRS has a cool looking one
- or a yellow watchman goby
- clowns maybe?
- mandarin goby - in the distant future and only if I can find one that eats frozen.

What is your opinion? Which fish should I go for?

I think a yellow watchman goby would be cool, and a even cooler thing would be to have a pistol shrimp goby pair.

I have a citron goby and he is the coolest. Always perching either on the glass or on different parts of the rock scape. Really lovely.

That would be cool! I live in Hawaii, so I’m not sure where I’d be able to find a pistol shrimp. Unfortunately they don’t sell any inverts in the lfs

Ya the one at the LFS is really cool looking and seems to have a nice personality. I was thinking about getting him rather than a real clownfish as he is way more non aggressive.
