Since Steve (Snorvich) took a hiatus, I'll ask the group in general.

I want to add:
three Pajama Cardinals OR
one Yellow Tail Damselfish OR
one Midas Blenny

Which one of these should I add to my existing tank??
Thanks!!!

I'd go blenny. You don't have any bottom-dwelling fish and the damsel and clowns may get testy with all that sand and rock taking up space. And PJ Cards just look dead to me, though the small shoal is kinda cool.

I agree with the blenny.
You've got two clowns in your tank so another damsel is asking for trouble.
We "inherited" a PJ (named PJ -- really original, right?) and other than the fact that he's awake when everyone else is asleep, he's about like having water in the tank -- he's there but we don't really notice.

The Midas is an awesome fish coolest personality of any fish I've ever kept.

I vote for the midas blenny as well. The PJ's can get pretty big, especially in a tank that size, and the damsel will just be a problem with the clowns already there.

I second the blenny make sure you get a good size one, otherwise itll dissapear in a tank that size...
