hard to get fish to school in small tank chromis would prob be your best bet but their aggressive and territorial towards each other as they mature so get them small all the same size all added at the same time.i have 4 in my 90g that stay together but they harass any newcomers pretty bad.

id say your good on snails and crabs too so maybe use that money for an extra ceaner shrimp.

wouldnt attempt the star untill your tank matures

flame scallops are cool but they eventually hide and you may not see it again plus they also do better in established systems

emerald crabs are cool as are porcelain crabs especially the whites


you could try a small wrasse for nice colour, maybe a goby and shrmp pair too would fit in nicely.

hows everything doing good i take it??)cheers buddy
