210g Tang Tank - Stocking Suggestions

[enlighten]

Do you have any triggers, puffers, or eels planned?

no eels or triggers. Maybe a puffer.

Puffers will eat shrimp, crabs, hermits and snails, you will have to replace those as they eat them

Currently in my 220 i have

Tangs
2x Blue Hippos
1x Vlamingi Tang
1x Yellow Tang
1x Orange Shoulder Tang (small)
1x Bristletooth Tang (small)

Others
1x Coral Beauty
2x Clownfish
5x Chromies
2x Anthias

Everything is getting along great so far!
Would like to add some more tangs though, maybe a Sailfin and a Purple...maybe a Naso/lipstick tang, and would love to get a Copperband also but worried about them with Coral. Not sure if i'm pushing the limit through...

According to the advice in this thread. seems you are maxed out.

How would Damsels fare in this tang dominated tank with clowns?

Yeah... i get that. I'm more focussed on coral at the moment anyway.
I guess i've never seen any aggresion from them so its hard to picture that happening.

My clownfish is the most aggresive fish in the tank, chases everything away from its area!

I dont think he is maxed out to be honest! But just my opinion

What else would you add?

What else would you add?

Depends on what kind of tank you want and the kinds of fish!

Depends on what kind of tank you want and the kinds of fish!

What would you add onto this list:

• (2) Hippo / Regal Blue Tang
• (2) Purple Tang
• White Tail Bristletooth Tang
• Yellow Tang
• Pair of Ocellaris clowns
• Foxface

Options considering, mandarin goby, some other sand sifter, maybe another damsel or two? Definitely need a good wrasse option. Fairy wrasses seem cool but they are a deep water fish? So they can get shy in high lighting, is what I heard. Since this will eventually be a nem tank, maybe other nem hosts?

 

[enlighten]

Would a 6 and or 4 line wrasse be a good option for this tank? Just to deal with pests and such? Maybe 2 or 3 of them?

 

[enlighten]

Bump, hoping for advice on my current list!

I don’t think I would try 2 purples. One can be a problem. Other than that you can add some smaller fish.

I was reading that in some other threads. Didnt realize purple tangs are bullies. Any alternate tangs you would sub in?
