My first fish was a percula clown, they stay small and are hardy as well as peaceful. You could even start with a pair of them and you will end up with a male and a female. I would stay away from damsels, I have one that rules my tank and makes it hard to add other fish. I agree with the suggestion to add some hermits and snails, just be sure to acclimate the snails slowly by floating them and adding small amounts of you tank water to the bag over a 1 to 2 hour period. I have killed a few snails by adding them to my tank too quickly. I think hermits are a little easier to acclimate, but why take a chance. Patience is always best! Welcome to the hobby!!
