What else to add?

[ed d]

I would like to add something to my tank. Over the past few month I have some losses. The water quality is excellant, I losses are do to other tank inhabitants.
Mandrin Goby - Eaten by the carpet anemone. The goby had been in the tank for about two years. Now it's goby poop.
Six line wrasse - Jumped out of tank
Coral beauty - was in tank for about three months. Once the clowns started laying eggs, they got very teritorial and started nipping the the coral beauty's tail. a couple days later the coral beauty was gone with no trace. No body, no change in water quality.
Last night, I took a green cromis out of my other tank, the clowns started chasing it around and nipping its tail. I was able to remove it and put it back in the other tank.
I would like to add a couple of more fish. It seem the more I read and the more experience I have, It is going tobe tough to find a good match. Any ideas??

I have a Midas Blenny and an Orchid Dottyback in a 90g tank with a pair of perculas and a blue hippo tang. Both the blenny and dottyback come and go without being bothered by the clowns (or tang). The blenny has claimed a hole in the LR about 4" from the bubbletip anemone that is home to the clowns. I prefer the blenny because it stays visible most of the time while the dottyback is generally cruising through the LR (mostly out of view). I suspect that either of these would do well in your tank.

How about a royal gramma? They are colorful and they stay small. They are kinda shy but they get along with other tank mates pretty well.

I didn't see where you identified the type of clowns you have. Tomatos and Maroons are very aggressive. Perculas and Ocellaris are not so bad. If you have the former, you are limited as to what can survive. The Yellow Tang is also very aggressive. In that size tank, you don't want to risk another tang of any type. Pseudochromis are colorful, small, and fast. They might be able to stay out of harm's reach, and would not be any threat to the domination of the clowns and tang. The Royal Gramma is pretty timid. He won't cause trouble, but if the clowns don't like him, he won't last. See what other suggestions you get, but remember that it seems like you have three very aggresive fish.

I am not sure of what type of clowns they are. My best guess is either the perculla or ocellaris clows. They have the characteristic three white bands and black tiped tails. The host anaemone is a Haddoni carpet.
Any thought on other gobies, blennies or dotty backs?? How about cardnal fish? <img src="graemlins//confused.gif" border="0" alt="[confused]" />
