75g additional fish suggestions

[TroyHoot]

I am having some trouble deciding what else to add in my tank. So far the stocking is as follows...

African flameback angel
Tailspot Blenny
Royal Gramma
Randalls goby (orange stripe)
Randalls pistol shrimp
2 Flame shrimp

6 zoas (all on one rock in middle left)
2 hammer
Stylophora
Birds nest (not sure name of this one. Upper right above montipora)
Lettuce (another im not sure name, in the middle)
Candy cane
Montipora Plate
Toadstool on rock to lower left
Green pavona
Green helmet fungia
Spartan leptoseris
Balloon center gsp
Amber sea fan

Looking to add some more fish. Everyone gets along wonderfully now. They all hang out together except the Randalls goby that stays in his caves on the lower right of tank. Im pretty open to suggestions.

Also want to add a madarin once fuge and display have a good pod population. Planning to start stocking pods soon.

Tank is about 4 months old. No major problems yet. Couple algae blooms is all. Parameters have been very stable. I change 18 gallons every two weeks. Feeding mainly frozen mysis, enriched plankton & brine, and Larrys reef frenzy. I feed twice a day.

A few options include a midas blenny, a bonded pr of bangaii cardinals, grammistes blenny, 3-5 randall or dispar anthias, purple tilefish, a group of zebra or scissortail dartfish.

Thanks for those suggestions. Of those I really like the Zebra Dartfish group idea or maybe the small group of anthias. The midas seems hit or miss if they get along with others or not. The Bangaii I just dont like the look. Grammistes is a maybe but wife didnt like his look. The purple tilefish looks interesting too. Reading up on them now. Again thank you for your time and suggestions.

I if it were my tank, I would add a ocellarous clown pair. Also I would add a melanurous wrasse but they would out compete the Mandarin. IMO they are better looking, much easier to care for and more active.

Clowns are on the short list. My only concern is if they take up home in one of my young corals and do damage. Thought of getting an anemone, the moving around of them concerns me too. Also no guarantee the clowns would like the anemone. But still my daughter likes the clowns and I do too. So they are still on the list.

The mandarin we all like and want eventually. So that wrasse, even though very pretty wouldnt work for us.

Thank you for your time. Will do some more reading on the clowns.

Jawfish!!! They are very cool and the personality is wonderful. My favorite is the bluespot but the pearl is a nice one and much cheaper. They dig one hole for their home and that's it. It's a bottom dwelling fish so they don't take up much swim room. candy basslet is another cool fish. I'm a big wrasse guy but then you are talking competition for pods. Looks like you have plenty of sand so you definitely could keep and wrasse if you wanted to. I have many in my main tank. Corsis are cool I really love leopards or potters wrasse. My favorite wrasse is my mystery wrasse wonderful personality and very pretty but you'll loose snails. I see you already have a goby but the Hector's Goby is a really cool small fish. Check him out.

Fairy or Flasher wrasse, there are many kinds to choose from and they won't interfere with the mandarin.

Thanks guys, this gives me some more reading to do.

Hectors goby looks real nice. My orange stripe goby pretty much stays on the right side 90% of the time. Wanders around after lights out but stays close to home. I tried to have plenty of open sand for critters. Goby/pistol was a main thing I wanted. They paired up for about 2 days. Now the pistol is somewhere in the back under the middle rocks. I never see him, but I hear him snapping every day. least I know hes alive lol.

I will look into the wrasses some more. I like most of those. Just need find some that will get along with everyone.

That candy basslet looks interesting too. Jawfish is cool too. If he would make his home on the left side it would work out great.
