Not enough fish? Just right? Too much fish?

[Charley Diesing]

Just wanted to know what you guys think of my current fish list.

1x Juv. Perc. Clown 1.5"
1x Juv. Mccosker's flasher wrasse (these grow 2.5"-3" long)
1x Juv. Chalk Bass (These grow 2.5"-3" long)

Tank dimensions 30"x12"x12"
Sump dimensions 24"x12"x20"

I think for filtration I am way capable for keeping these fish. My filtration looks like this.

SWC 120 Skimmer
8 Gallon Fuge
Biological filtration from 50 pounds of rock.
12 gallon sump
I occasionally run GFO, and Carbon

Nitrates, and Phosphates are undetectable.

As for adding fish I'm pretty satisfied where I am at. But I wouldn't mind having the option.

Please note that I have polls questions for both now, and when my fish are mature

Thanks,

Charley

Yes I was definitely thinking about adding a little Goby of some sort. Something small and colorful that adds a little variety.

You can add a nano fish or two and get away with it, but wouldn't go too crazy. Your clown may become aggressive the larger it gets

Thats what I was thinking. Right now I'm pretty satisfied with my fish. And as for the clown, thats what I was expected. He's my least favorite. So if he has to go later on down it won't be the end of the world for me.

I just added a firefish to my tank and I am beyond pleased with him! Peaceful, on the smaller side and absolutely beautiful, IMO anyway. I lean towards the conservative side with how many fish to keep. I have five currently in my 56 gal FOWLR and would like to add one, maybe two more tops. All current fish will be no more than 5 inches full grown. I like everyone to have plenty of room. Besides, more fish more mess, more mess more water changes etc etc. I say keep it simple.
