adding a small fish to my aquarium: which type is suitable?
I've got a sump which brings my total volume to 150L, and my display tank is 120L. I was thinking, since I haven't completely filled the tank yet (I only have 2 clown fish and a dartfish at the moment), would it be okay to add another little fish?

i reckon you're good to add a small fish, like a goby or blenny, or maybe even a dotty back, something like that.

I'd say a bottom swimmer is a good choice, considering your clown fish and dartfish are mid to high swimmers.

You've got a few options for blennies - bicolor's a great choice, or maybe a Klausewitz. Sailfin and horned blennies are nice too, and algae blennies are pretty cool. Starry blennies are another option, all these little guys are pretty awesome.

MIDAS BLENNY
just a heads up, blennies are notorious jumpers, so if you're planning on getting one, especially an aggressive type, make sure your tank's covered.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I did come across a nice algae blenny last week, actually thought it was quite a pretty little thing.
