Think I'm maxxed out on fish or could I get maybe 1 or 2 more? I don't have any in mind atm, don't want to go looking just to fall in love with a fish and find out I can't have any more.... maybe a tang /ducks

Thanks for any opinion!
P.S. Was j/k on the tang!

Watch your damsel, they tend to get mean. I would take it out, and add a firefish gobie. You could add a couple of neon gobies, or clown gobies, but thats about it I think.

I'm also of the "damsels are evil" opinion, so you should get that out while you can. You can probably get it easier while it's sleeping.
Anyway, you could probably get another one or two in there depending on the (adult) size of whatever fish you choose, and how often you feed, though the best bet would be to get rid of the damsel first, then you could definitely add two more.

Getting rid of the damsel is a no-go... that fish belongs to my autistic daughter. The fish is feisty but behaves as she's been put in her place by my LMB. It was our first fish and has backed down to every other fish I've put in there.. I got a whimpy damsel!

Wow, right on, that's cool that a LMB went up against the damsel and won.

Since you'll be keeping it, I think maybe just 1 other fish would be a good bet, though be careful what you choose, you don't want to take the risk of loosing something if the damsel changes it's mind and gets rowdy. You should probably stay away from gobies, a royal gramma can hold it's ground and it a very colorful and cool fish.
