    I'm ready to add more fish to my 65g and I'm looking for some recommendations and advice on how many more my tank can handle. Current fish are 2 ocellaris clowns, a melanarus wrasse and a falco hawkfish. LFS was suggesting the tank handle maybe 3-4 more fish in that 3" range, sound about right? Here is what I'm currently considering adding(max of 4 total, changing depending on capacity feedback):

    3 - Banggai or Pajama Cardinalfish
    1 - Potter Angel or Coral Beauty
    1 - Yellow Goby
    1 - Firefish

    I know those are all pretty common, so maybe something I missing and should look at? Thanks in advance!

    When I've had Cardinalfish before, they slowly died off and left 1 fish there out of the three I had. Then the one that was left wouldn't like any new members. Just be mindful if you decide to buy them! I may have just been unlucky in my cardinalfish experience!

    I also was telling @Dave@Dave at the holiday party to look at getting a female melanarus wrasse to go with your male, they're smaller, brighter colored and they make the male flash a bit more.
