Depends on your filtration really. Some people would say that your tank is full at the moment or even that it is not large enough to house a tomato clown. I would have to agree really unless you're using a sump and skimmer and have plenty of liverock. There is no real rule of thumb when it comes to marine tanks and how many fish you can have per gallon or liter. If I were going to add anything else to a tank that size then it would be small gobys of some sort...and even then it may be stressful since all of the fish in your tank are at least mildly aggressive.

Ahhh I thought you said it was only 140L

 

[ben1987]

it is only 125l if it takes 5 25l tubs of ro to fill it

i would return the fish and look at maybe common clowns, fire fish, gobies & cardinals. Things that stay small. Will look a lot more natural with swimming room for the fish
