The general rule of thumb when stocking a 'Marine' tank, is to allow about 20 litres per 2.54 cm of fish. In use, your 80 litre tank will only contain at the most 65 to 70 litres (not its maximum capacity of 80 litres). So the maximum amount of fish you can safely keep in it would be no more than about 7 or 8 cm of fish. I would say that your 80 litre tank is not really large enough to be successfully used as a "Marine" Tank.

Other good Coldwater species, weather loach, Shubunkins, and some other kinds of fancy goldfish. For other Marine fish, there's Damsels, and common clownfish.
