I was hoping for some advice choosing some fish. Currently I have a Lawnmower Blenny, A strawberry pseudochromis, and a True percula Clown. I am looking to add a few more fish and I was thinking of adding a purple firefish because I love the color and I heard they are not aggeressive fish . But I want only docile fish no aggressive fish, and also only fish that will stay small. Of course I like the colorful fish with lots of personality.

Some times my pseudochromis acts like a bully so if I have to I will give him to a friend with a bigger tank

I have about 80 lb's of LR and a 3 to 4 in sand bed,also I have just put a refugium in my system and am working on getting a nice pod population going if that helps.

any help is much appreciated
 
The firefish is a good choice, but not with the pseudochromis.

Personally i would get rid of the pseudo if you have that option. Then add the firefish a second clown and possibly a pseudochromis fridmani (orchid dottyback), much more placid than the strawberry.

Yeah IMO I would take out the pseusochomis. I had one in my 55 it was my 3rd fish. Every other fish I would place into the tank would get beat up. They are very very mean. Now I have a peaceful tank. I have 2 Percs, 1 Hippo Tang, 1 Cleaner Wrasse, and a Banded Hi-Fin goby. With the Hippo Tang moving out soon I have been in the process of locating a Red Leapords Wrasse, that will be my last fish. I have a Purple Firefish in my 30g. Very cool and personal fish. Its the only fish I have in there. Also you can try a Pistol Shrimp and Goby combo. I had something like that untill my carpet anemone ate my shrimp. Well Good luck.
