Adding more fish to my 17g?

Guatney · 12/26/2013, 08:12 PM

I currently have a 17g reef setup with a handful of corals including superman shrooms, GSP, and a Rainbow Hammer wall.

Current stock:
2 midnight clownfish (babies)
1 High fin Goby
1 Cocoa Worm
5 assorted snails
5ish hermits

Setup:
17g mr. aqua (OPEN TOP! NO JUMPERS!)
12" wavepoint Blue and white LEDs
Azoo HOB filter with carbon and filter pads (regularly changed)
Heater
Hydor 425 powerhead

What would be a colorful, small, active fish that i can add to my tank? i'm looking for something on the unique side since it is one of the very limited animals i will have in there.

Also, if i got rid of the goby (he rarely comes out and is a waste of bioload unless i can make him more social) what stock would you add in addition to the clowns and cocoa worm?

Sounds like once those clowns grow you will be just about out of space.

If you post a full tank picture we can get a real idea of your open swimming space and what type of coloration might work best.

I'm having a hard time thinking of anything that wouldn't be a jumper.
