    Hey 3reef, Mkizla here. I was wondering if I could add another fish, like
    Cardinal Fish? I have a reef tank and currently 3 fish, 1 coral beauty and 2 clown fish. Would I be able to add cardinal fish? and are they easy or hard to take care of?

    what tank size is it. 2 clowns and a coral beauty are all aggressive. are the clowns a pair or in separate places? cuz that just takes up space.

    well they can be:D i was at my lfs watching him put a fish in the display tank were the clowns would be picking on him. one at one side and one on the other. its was kinda sad because he would get picked on then he would swim fast the other side just to get picked on a gain. after about 20 mins he took it out and put it by himself for a bit.

    With your list you are probably close to stocked especially with the more aggressive fish you have.
