Can I (Or Should I) Add These Fish

[DJ Monty]

I have a 180g D/T with these fish & just a few corals. I would like to add a few more fish but not sure if I should.. What's your opinion. At the moment I have
1 pair Gold Stripe Maroon Clowns (Female is around 4") on a 12" Carpet Anemone
1 Purple Tang 4"
1 Hippo Tang 5"
1 Dwarf Angel
2 Yellow Tail Damsels

All these fish are best buddies, swimming & eating together all day & I don't really want to upset that but I would like to add a few more fish. Maybe these,
Maybe 2 smaller Hippo Tangs
6 or 7 Anthias
Maybe 2 Fairy Wrasse
1 or 2 Gobies
Maybe even a Queen Angel once everything else is in

If not these does anyone have any suggestions or should I just leave it alone...

I wouldn't do the additional tangs in that size tank. Queen Angels get HUGE. I would worry about the gobies with the carpet neme. Anthias or several fairy wrasses/flasher wrasses would be fine but still are subject to becoming anemone food.

 

[ca1ore]

Agreed. Assuming your 'carpet' is a Haddoni, they are notorious fish eaters.

Wrasses add a lot of color and activity. They'll learn not to go around the maroons quickly.

Wrasses and carpet anemones are not a good mix.

Depending on the corals you do have, a queen angel may eat them.

Will the Queen Angel eat xenia ?. I could move the other couple of corals to one of my other tanks..

I, ve never kept one with xenia, but zoas and most lps will definitely be eaten.

I'd stay away from the purple tang and similar shaped tangs (Zebrasoma). I'm getting rid of mine because he's causing issues in my tank.

This can vary widely from tank to tank. Some can be very aggressive, others are quite peaceful.

My Purple Tang is already in the tank with the other fish & he gets on great with the others.. It's the additions I listed that I'm concerned about...

My concern would be with the gobies. My tangs bullied my gobies until I had to put them in another tank.

That's unusual. I have frequently kept tangs with gobies without issue.
