Fish stocking suggestions!

[Fishflakes]

I'm looking for suggestions on what fish to stock my tank. I'm also wondering what order to add them. I have a 125 gallon with a 55 gallon sump. I currently only have two ocellaris clowns. I've got starter corals. Xenia, GSP, a brain coral, and some some zoas. Ive got a cleaner shrimp two conchs, and the various snails/hermits for my CUC. I want to add more corals so reef safe fish only please! Also, I definitely want a coral beauty in the tank. They're beautiful. Thanks!

I love the coloration of the green clown goby! I was hoping to add a goby to the tank at some point. I've never seen one in any of the shops here.

I'm in Omaha, Ne. There are 4 fish stores in the city.

I suggest you go to Live Aquaria. Look at the fish they have that are easy, reef safe, and peaceful.

Fish often vary. I have a leopard wrasse that is difficult. He eats everything that I toss into the tank. He is peaceful and very active. For some reason no other fish in the tank bothers him. Great fish. So go figure.

my gcg and ycg are wonderful with amazing personalities. They love resting on branch corals. Leather /sps what have you.
You can't go wrong with a tang scopas, bristle tooth tangs , sailfin, yellow tang ,foxface, royal gramms, any of the dwarf angels, wrasse ( some prefer shrimp and crabs), chalk bass, cardinals, the lists are endless.

Coral beauties are reef safe with caution.

In a 125 i would have a hard time not adding a few species of fairy wrasse individuals or anthias. But this might just be me [emoji23]

Wonderful suggestions! Thank you everyone. Anyone have a Midas Blenny give them problems? I read they're jumpers. I like the blue around their eyes against the yellow.

Also, my wife really wants a flame angel, but I know that can be trouble with a coral beauty. Unless you add them together at the same time...maybe. Lol. I've read success and failures on that front.

In a 125 you maybe be able to get away with this if there is enough caves for each fish on both ends. But each fish is different. If did go this route would add together and when young. If added later there is more chance of aggression. An acclimation box may help here.

All fish have the ability to jump I had a clown jump through egg crate. You can minimize jumping by using ramp up and down but theres always a risk without a well fitted lid, a fish takes a dive.
