Currently I have a 26g bow with the following:
50lbs. LS,
50lbs. LR,
Lots of healthy dark green chaeto,
1 Crocea clam (another will be added soon),
1 small lawn mower blenny,
misc. LPS (blastos, frogs., candies),
misc. softies (xenias, mushrooms).

What are my options for fish and other livestock?
Are SPSs recommended w/ my current livestock?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
TIA

You could add a couple of small fish like a clown, dottyback a shrimp would also be a good additions. As for sps it depends on what type of lighting that you running. There are some sps that are easier to keep while some others are hard and take up alot of space. Also you need to be careful with sps either sting other corals or getting stung, so you need room.

I'm not looking for a lot of fishes, I am looking for low maintenance fishes like wrasses or something that will pick at algae through out the day.
Nothing carnivorous.
Btw - Can different blenny species coexist?

I love my scooter blenny- he 'crawls' all over my tank and has a ton of personality! Almost like a dog the way he acts sometimes- cocks his head and looks right at me whenever I come close.

I really like my purple firefish too- stays right in the center of the tank and in the open. Its cool having a fish that stays on the ground and one that stays swimming higher up. Both have been very low maintenance- and have been really healthy. I just feed them cyclopeeze once a day and they are happy!

You could try a couple of Carolina Gobies too- from what I've read they seem to be a lot like my Scooter Blenny. Maybe two of them and a firefish- or one scooter blenny and two firefish?

well i wouldnt say wrasse are exactly low maintennce.
but why dont you get a yashe has goby with a candy stripe pistol. theyll pair up and they r a blast to watch. they also match in color. the red and white stripes on the goby, match the candy dtripes on the pistol shrimp. just make sure you your tank is not a BB.
