What kind of fish should I get

I am looking to get only one more fish for my 6 gallon fluval edge nano reef. I only have one clown and CUC and some coral. What kind of fish would not produce a lot of waste and be compatible with the clown and is reef safe?

I wouldn't add any more fish to a tank that small. As it is, the clown will outgrow that tank in a year or two.

^^^ could not agree more ^^^

You would be better off in the long run with a small goby/shrimp pair IMO. The clown has already claimed every square inch of that tank and will almost certainly harrass to death anything else you try to put i with it.

Agreed with the above. You can get more fish when you get your next bigger tank.

I know that these aren't the answers you were hoping to hear but I also agree with the others.

Perhaps you may find some inverts that you like. Something different from the ordinary hermit crab and snail routine.

Good Luck
