Thinking of adding one more fish to the 100g tank:

Current stock:
Kole Tang
Valentini Puffer
5 Lighting chromis
Hawkfish
Hawaiian Cleaner Wrasse
Leopard Wrasse
Lawnmower Blenny
Ocilarious Clown
Watchmen Goby

Should I add another fish? Writing it out now seems like a lot of fish...
 
Bangaii Cardinals? They are really cool fish and don’t require too much space.
Thank you! We've thought about Cardinals, we decided not to get them because we were looking for a bit more color. Also aren't they a schooling fish? You need more than one in the tank for success right?

Some types of Cardinals school, but Bangaii Cardinals tend to pair up is what I’ve heard. Could be wrong though.

Good to know... I do plan on having a fish only tank at some point in the future. 200g if my wife will let me get rid of some of our freshwater tanks... lol.
 
Those chromis will get bigger and take up lots of room. Of course, they may kill each other off first. Hope for you they do not. A pair of cardinals will be fine. A midas blenny or canary blenny will bring a bit of yellow. They are active fish. Just a thought. Maybe a tough dottyback.
 
I keep hearIng that about Chromis, ours are semi aggressive but I haven’t seen them gang up or bully, famous last words though.
Midas or Canary is on my short list... how would it do with the Lawnmower? I’ve read blennys can be territorial and aggressive towards one another. Thoughts?
 
The blennies are very different species, so should not be an issue. Lawnmower are perching and the others are more free swimming.
Good luck with the chromis as they age. Once full grown, many become beasts. :)

Thank you! Always keeping a watchful eye on the tank! The blennys are on the short list.
