i have an 18 g tank with skimming and so far have a midas blenny , a fiji clown and a small damsel and was wonderin if i could add a small dwarf angel because water conditions are good now.

In my opinion, I wouldn't try adding another fish. The damsel will probally not "welcome" a new addition....and dwarfs can be stressed easily by aggression.

 

Is removing the damsel an option to you? That would maybe open up the possibility of another fish.

 

It's taken me years to appreciate a non crowded tank, and how much more natural the fish behave when not cramped.

 

Now, that said, I did have an African Pygmy Angel (little tiny blue and yellow guy) in a 10 gallon nano reef about 6 years ago. He was the only fish for about 1 1/2 years.....then upgraded his space to a 125gal. He became a very happy angel.
