I know I have a clownfish...not sure exactly which one. Can you please identify the other 3, two of which should be the same type, and then one darker blue one.

I'd like to know what is in tank and so I can figure out what I can add that would be good for the 50 gallon cube we have.

Thank you

looks like your clown is either A. ocellaris or A. percula.

then in the first pic appears to be 3 green reef chromis (Chromis viridis) and the second picture looks like some kind of damsel, perhaps a blue damsel (Chrysiptera cyanea)?

expect aggression, and expect them to whittle down their own numbers.

Actually its just two of the light blue in the first pic, it must be a reflection from the side glass.....

I'll read up on chromis and damsels. I just looked up percula and ocellaris, I think i have a true percula based on the black bars next to the white areas. He's a vibrant one, my phone camera doesn't pic up on his colors well. I'm not sure how to count the spines....
 
All of your fish are pretty closely related - same family - the chromis will do better as a odd numbered group, but may still turn on each other. The blue damsel will just get big and mean, especially if in too small of a tank. As clowns go, you picked one of the less aggressive ones. All in all, quite a pick of fish! Did your LFS suggest them?

If you could give us a description of your system we might be able to offer suggestions.

Thank you, hoping to have fish that get along and like to swim around.

Yes, the dark blue one tries to attack the glass magnet cleaner. He's wild. We had bought the fish maybe 3 years ago, from a place that is now closed down, I didn't know remember the names back then. Some of the other fish we have had didn't make it over time, due to my poor knowledge and inability to maintain the tank.

The fish are in there new home, for about the last week or so. 50 gallon cube, 24 x 24 x 23. cad lights.
