Fish list....
I have a fairly new tank and trying to build my fish list. Currently I have a blue hippo tang (dory) a coral beauty angel, a royal gramma, a mandarin green, and a blue spotted jawfish (seen the day added and not since). Pretty sure the jawfish is gone, want to replace and going to add two Picasso Clowns with a bubble tip anenomy. I want to add four more fish, but want compatable ones, my wife wants more tangs, looking at a yellow tang and most of ether others require larger than my 75 gallon tank. I would like active fish that won't spend all day hiding but won't attack or harass the fish we already have. Any suggestions are appriciated. We are planning to only have ten fish total, not counting the four Chromis as they surf above the reef.

Also if I am not mistaken the tang will need a much larger tank and mandarin should be in a more establish tank.

I'm new to saltwater too. We look at all these beautiful fish and we go out and get the biggest tank we can fit in our house or afford with our wallets and we get ourselves some striking sea beauties. Then we start doing a little research only to find that there are only two kinds of Tangs that are appropriate for our size tank. We think, oh, they're so small, they won't mind. But they grow, faster than you think, and they do mind...alot! The more we learn the more we realize we need to choose fish by compatibility not only to one another but also to the environment that we create for them to live in. They don't adapt all that well to change. I inherited three fish with my setup and of course they were three I didn't want after watching their behavior. Getting rid of problem fish is not all that easy for most of us. Sometimes the LFS will take them, sometimes not. Sometimes there are clubs nearby but sometimes not. Please take your time in making your selections and put together a full list for the intended fish purchases forum. They can help you learn why a specific species might not be a good choice for your tank. Do lots of research at LiveAquaria.com and put in your tank size and choose 'Peaceful' fish. That will go a long way toward creating harmony in your tank. Also pay attention to maximum fish size when full grown. Anything over 6" will probably not be successful long term.
Good luck and have fun!

So how many fish do you want to have? It sounds like too much for a 75g.
