One more fish?? Or leave it?

[GOSKN5]

My tank is doing well and all is calm haha... I have 5 fish in my 57 gallon tank.. 20 gallon sump etc...
The fish are

Melanarus wrasse
Yellow wrasse
Flasher wrasse
Midas Blenny
Plat clown

The.clown hosts the overflow box in the top back of the tank haha... nobody messes with him... I am considering adding a mate for the clown to see if.they will come out more... I know they both could end up in the back corner... but at least he wouldn't be alone...

Thoughts on stock?? I don't want to overdo it... and I am perfectly fine not adding another...

I think you'll be fine adding a mate. My perc clown pair stayed in the top right corner of the tank for 9 months before finally deciding to start hanging out in some euphyllia.

Plenty of room for another. Don't take the "bio-load" lectures too seriously. Its amazing how many fish a mature and well filtered and maintained tank can handle. Use common sense though, when a tank starts to looked crowded, it is. (IMO & IME)

i think you could add 1 more smaller fish and be fine as long as your filtration is up to par and you keep up with your maintenance. if you have any doubt that your tank couldnt handle another fish then dont do it. some times adding that 1 last fish just isnt worth it when your tank is already doing great. just my 2 cents.
