Final fish opinions.

[dakoop]

I know it's my choice but I wanted to get some ideas from the masses.
I have a 125 gallon mixed reef tank and I'm looking to add the final fish. I want this fish to be THE fish.
Current inhabitants:
Two clowns
2 scissor tail dart
2 pajama Cardinals
2 blue green chromis
Foxface
Yellow tang
Coral beauty
Midas blenny
Algae blenny
Pink spot goby
Tomini tang
Leopard wrasse
Mystery wrasse
Blue Sapphire damsel


I was thinking a nice tang like Achilles, Sohal
Or
A large angel

Your thoughts?

Get rid of the following:
2 blue green chromis --They are a nuisance fish and territorial. They will pester other fish. Not worth the $5 bucks if you have chaos in tank and some fish in the floor.
Blue Sapphire damsel - Another fish I personally would stay away from.

Achilles make a great tank mate.

That seems like a lot of fish in a 125. I have a 125 gallon with a yellow tang , Scopus tang(. And yes they get along great ) two clowns, and a royal Gramma.

They are all tiny

Do u have a lot of coral. Any zoa or polyps, just wondering if your foxface bothers anything. I would love to get one, but I know there 50/50 in a reef tank

 

[dakoop]

Foxface doesn't bother anything

Looks great. What's the neon green coral to the far right?

 

[dakoop]

Green star polyps

I'd do a Powder Blue or Powder Brown tang. 125 may be a bit small for the larger angels like an Emperor or Blueface, as they get pretty massive.

I agree you are already pretty heavily stocked, but you know your tank better than I do. I definitely wouldn't put a sohal or Achilles tang it that tank size, they are both known to be extremely aggressive in tight corners. Maybe a sailfin tang or a chocolate mimic tang.

I am getting ready to add a regal angel to my 120g (in a few weeks) she is a STUNNER but took a great deal of work and care to get her to eat properly. I'd say at least 3 weeks. Plus, I won't know how "reef safe" she is until she's in there.

The genicanthus angels could be a good choice. I've always loved the masked swallowtail:

+1 on Genicanthus angels or maybe something a little different like a marine betta or a goatfish

 

[dakoop]

I am liking the marine betta idea

In the larger angel category I really like the goldflake angels they seem to stay a little smaller than the other imperators or queen angels for example. Definitely a stunner fish though

They are not a super active fish but they are really awesome and uncommon. Just be careful with inverts like shrimp and any smaller fish.

+1 on the Marine Betta... beautiful fish...always gets alot of attention from friends and family in my tank...i had to feed mine with a feeding stick for a week but now he eats like a pig...hasn't touched any of my inverts...comes out more when my lights are coming on or off...also have a small bicolor goatfish...very active and keeps my sand cleaner than my pistol shrimp...will make your water a little cloudy but sand will be great

You are already pretty stocked but a male blue jaw trigger

I have a tank with a similar stock list. I wanted a sort of center piece fish that was really vibrant in color. I added a Blue Hippo Tang this past weekend and it seems like that's all my tank had been missing all this time.

If you love your reef, leave the large angels out of it.

I would put a dwarf angle. My personal favorite is a flame angle

I'd go with the Achilles. I've never had a tank big enough to date but starting to piece together all the components for a 150. Unrelated question, I like those overflows but I cannot find them online anywhere. Does you or anyone know where I can get something similar?
