Due to an unfortunate gramma x bangaii murder suicide that happened last month my water box 15 now currently only houses a yellowtail damsel. I’m looking to add a couple more fish but am unsure what to get.

I really value the look of the tank without a lid and would like to keep it that way, no matter how much it will limit my stocking.

What nano fish would work? Would I be able to add another damsels species? The yellow tail I have is incredibly peaceful and has completely ignored all other tank mates he’s been with in the past few years.

My 15 is lidless and has a royal gramma, 3 clown gobies (yellow, green, and black), a neon goby, a redhead goby, and a masked goby. They have been there for more than 2.5 years, no jumpers.

I think you have room for one more damsel if you want, there are so many attractive colours to chose from, that would be a good choice too.

I had a yellow tail in a 20 for a couple of years, it killed every fish I added. So I bought a tank divider and added an azure damsel on the other side of the tank. I kept the divider in place for 3 months and then moved it and they both stayed on their side of the tank after that. But good luck, that's an aggressive fish.

I’ve been tempted to try some gobies, heard they were big jumpers, but now I think about it I’ve kept clown and neon gobies in the past and didn’t have any issues. Might give it a go.

What damsel species would you recommend?

I don't have much experience with damsels, only yellow tail, azure, domino and 2 stripe. But there are so many more...
