My current stock with fish includes a Skilletfish and a flametail blenny. I would like to add one more interesting showy creature that I can stare at forever. The problem is my skilletfish. I caught him while I was looking for shrimp to use as bait, and I fell in love with him. And since he isn't very flashy in color and usually hides, nobody else would like to keep him :(. However, his mouth controls him so I've lost a couple other rare nanos, so no gobies(which really dissapoints me). He isn't aggressive to fish his size(like my blenny) but he can be a little mean sometimes.

Knowing that, I came up with a couple options to finish the tanks stock:
1. Bangai Cardinalfish
2. Royal Gramma
3. Sixline Wrasse
4. Cherubfish
5. Blood Shrimp

I do have a mangrove sapling in the tank and I have a breeder box full of chaeto to clean up the nitrates and whatnot in between water change days.

I would really like to add something that can swim(or at least stay out in the open so I can at least see some extra movement to give the tank a bit more life, but if you guys think it's at it's max, than that's alright with me.
 
I'd try the royal gramma and a shrimp.
+1 and the six line will get territorial after a while and should be kept alone in a tank at least less than 15g, imo.

Thank you! It won't be for a couple more weeks, but I'll promise you guys some pictures!
