Best fish for established tank with pecking order

[Fishn28]

I’m looking for just a few more ideas for my 75 gallon reef

This tank has an established pecking order already so the fish I want to add must be able to hold its own if needed

The current stock in my tank in order of tank leader to bottom of the food chain
1 Scopas tang - very docile and shy fish not worried about aggression
1 cherub angelfish - has been know to chase other wrasse
2 occ. clownfish - peaceful for the most part
1 neon wrasse- very peaceful
1 YWG - hides mostly
1 tailspot blenny - peaceful

The main thing I am looking for is a flash of color, and a fish that likes to consume algae since my Scopas tang isn’t too interested in it.

Yellow or bristletooth will fit in a 75 and consume a ton on algae, all day, everyday.

Yellow best if your looking for colour pop as well.

Mine 4” after 5 years now.

Do you think a yellow would play nice with a Scopas?

I think that could work as different in colour.
I have yellow with sailfin, again same shape, but different colour.

Blue, Sailfin,Kole, Yellow, all play nice, yellow is the least agressive in my group.

I love the looks of your yellow, striking fish, anywhere you’d recommend looking for them online? I know biota has good results but my Scopas is rounghly 4 inches and the yellows arrive around the size of a half dollar

Sorry, I’m in Canada, we can’t buy from US.

But Biota is only source, small yes, pale very, but they do colour up to normal, it’s just juvenile pale colour.

Simply the best CUC member I’ve owned.

dd that to the potential list

I would suggest a nice bright yellow coris wrasse. That eats flatworms and other pests in the tank.

I wouldnt put a yellow with an established scopas. My biota tiny yellow tried to take on my mature purple tang when it first went in and when he got bigger. What kinds of fish do you like? Damsels are always an option, will hold their own. And colorful

I’m not a huge fan of damsels, I enjoy anthias and foxface, and fish that aren’t overly popular in tanks. I like the looks of a blue or red fish as well

Red maybe a hawkfish (dont swim much) or a flame angel? That would be able to hold its own against the cherub. Foxes are huge and would outgrow the tank

I like long nose hawkfish but they have become a rare fish at my 2 lfs and are typically around 75-100 dollars. I love flame angels but the same goes for them and the added risk of coral diet
