Suggestions for fish additions?

Blue Reef 06 · 10/25/2018, 08:05 PM

Hello,

My tank has been back up and running for almost a year now. It is a 125gal mixed reef with a 30gal sump. I currently have a pair of ocellaris clowns, three Banggai cardinals, a royal gramma, and powder blue tang.

Any suggestions for what would be a good addition to round out the crew?

Thanks!

Laura

Yellow tang, kole tang, foxface, any kind of dwarf angel (flame, coral beauty or lemonpeel are a few of my favorites)

Tomini tangs are nice looking too.

Then there is my absolute favorite of all, flame hawkfish, that would be a great addition to a 125

A flame or longnose hawk is a must for any tank.

Lots of wrasses to choose from. Halichoeres genus is full of good ones like chrysus and melanurus. Most fairy and flasher wrasses would be good too.

That powder blue tang might make it difficult to add more tangs, but it may be possible.

I like dwarf angels too, but there is a risk with corals.

Yellow tang but may be problematic when added separately so use caution.
