40g Breeder Stocking - 1 more fish suggestions

[Guy W]

I have a 40g Breeder that's been up and running for about 6-7 months since breaking down my 29g and moving everything over to this. I'd like to add one more fish before I start working on corals.

It has a typical low tech setup. Live sand bed, 40lbs of live rock, Aquaclear hob power filter with sponge/poly filter/Chemipure Blue, and a couple of power heads for added flow.

My current stock is:

Pair of Clowns
Six Line Wrasse
Purple Dottyback

Also inverts including:

Cleaner Shrimp
Blood Red Shrimp
Dozen Scarlet Hermits
Dozen Turbo Snails

So that said I'd like one more fish. Something compatible with the current stock, active not a recluse, you get the idea.

What do you guess suggest?

The wrasse and dottyback can be pretty nasty fishes, and clowns can be territorial.

Possibly you could get away with a lawnmower or starry blenny.

I have in my breeder:

Pair of clowns

Pair pajama cardinals

1 Azure damsel - had a mated pair, bacteria bloom or something hit the tank and it stressed them out, then one killed the other

Lawnmower blenny (great fish, great personality)

That is pretty much it...

You could probably do a flameback in there, they can hold their own with some pretty aggressive fish

I would go with C. argi (Pygmy angelfish). I had one in my 40 before I traded it for a lionfish and it was entertaining and would come to the surface to deg for food when I came in the room.
