taking stocking suggestions for 34g

[Wolfpackfish]

I have a 34gallon with a duncan coral, leather frag, and some star polyps. I also have 2 yellow head jawfish and two ocellaris clowns. I'm thinking about getting a skunk cleaner shrimp. I'm completely open to any ideas of inverts/fish y'all would like to suggest.

With the size of your tank and current inhabitants, you are pretty well stocked as it is. If you were to add something, maybe a smaller Blenny in the Escenius genus, like a Tailspot. Just as one suggestion.

you could probably add a few corals but otherwise a small blenny or goby is a good choice.

I love my Yasa Hashe Goby and marine betta. very cool fish in my opinion.

I would say your fish bioload is maxed out. A cleaner shrimp would be fine

If your water chemistry is within acceptable levels, then you are not maxed at bio load. Other fish choices would include but are not limited to; bangaii, pj, orange stripe, or flame cardinals, any of the species of clown goby, royal gramma, barnacle blennies, a smaller species of Ecsenius blenny, firefish, blue gudgeon goby, wetmorella or pink streak wrasse, geometric plectranthias, swales basslet. These are just a few ideas, but is not exhaustive.

Yes he is maxed out. Anymore fish is going to push it and then you will have phosphate issues, possible ammonia and so on. 5 fish in a 34 cube? Really? That doesnt leave much swimming room or territory for them

Jawfish and clownfish are very site oriented, so do not require much swimming space, of all the fish I suggested, most are not overly active fish, and without being aware of the OP water chemistry statements such as yours are just dogmatic. There is much variance in what an individual reefers maintainance that can compensate for PO4 and NO3. In fact, if you cannot keep water chemistry acceptable with more than 4 fish in that size tank, i would question water change routine rather than bio load.
