Help me pick One more!

Room for one more, maybe two if they stay on the smaller side. Fish only tank, 120 gal.
Current tank-mates, all have been together for years, well established and stable, over 3 decades!
Was considering a Blue Spot Puffer. Thanks.
By Size:

Salfin Tang
Naso Tang
Koran Angel
Foxface
Bluethroat Trigger
Pearlscale Butterfly

I vote for the sailfin.

Those are the one's in the tank now that have to approve of a new room-mate.

I’ll have to mention the Velvet Angelfish and the Masked Swallowtail Angelfish, or maybe a dwarf or two. If you went dwarf id recommend:
- Mauritian Coral Beauty
- Lemonpeel/Eibli
- Orangeback

I hadn't given the angelfish much thought because I thought the Koran "owned " the tank.
So a second angel is cool since they're a different speices of angel ?
Tried a Coral Beauty, he gave up about 3 weeks in, was a hider and I never really knew why it called it quits.
Can I introduce 2 different dwarf angels at the same time?

Yes you can introduce 2 dwarfs at the same time, this is also better as the koran won’t have just one target and will disperse aggression. If you want to add any other Large Angels, add them with the dwarfs for the same reason.

 

[blaxsun]

Coral beauty and flame angelfish would be a nice duo.

Reading mixed messages about the Dwarf Angles. Most sites say not in a tank with a trigger. I have a Male Blue Throat. Plus I want to add another trigger!
Any Butterflies taht will be okay with my Pearlscale?
Was thinking Flameback or Orangeback and a Lemonpeel.
Any thoughts?

 

[blaxsun]

I don't have a trigger in my tank, so I can't offer any insight there unfortunately. I do have 4 angels in my tank (mostly reef-safe), and they're quite relaxing to watch.

 

[JumboShrimp]

You mentioned a Blue Spot Puffer-- I have a Blue Spot and a Valentini (same size) both in the same 150 FOWLR; neither bothers the other. Maybe go for that.

 

[WRB]

What other tank mates do you have with your puffers, Do you thnk the Blue would get along with my current community?

What 4 do you have and what do they reside with. My koran is still a juvinile but rather large. He's never been aggressive with anybody that I recall.But I don't know why my Coral Beauty didn't survive.

I personally wouldn’t add any other butterflies as it’s a rather aggressive tank you’re going for so they most likely wouldn’t survive and may not get enough food.
The lemon peel and flameback should be alright with eachother, as for the trigger part I can’t really say. Personally I think it’s a 50/50 as I have seen a Cocosensis angelfish in with two triggers (X. ringens), a juvenile Koran and they got along just fine.

By yellow head do you mean Halichoeres garnoti? If so then do you have any photos - Thing the wrasse lovers thread would love to see one

 

[JumboShrimp]

Yes indeed. This is not him at his ‘most’ colorful, however… it changes a bit throughout the day. He can look pretty vibrant at times.

 

[WRB]

Really appreciate the help and input.
Has anyone had any luck with a Bicolor angel?
That's one my LFS has been mentioning when ever I ask. Been dealing with the same guy for decades.
He can gather what ever fish I decide on and keep them until I can introduce them at the same time to reduce aggression issues in the tank.

 

[JumboShrimp]

I have a Bicolor Angel and a Rusty Angel (same size, released into the tank together) in my other 150 FOWLR; they don't bother each other at all. I will say though, the first two BiColors I ever had didn't make it long (for whatever reason). They do have a bit of a reputation for being 'not so easy to keep.' But they are so beautiful that I just had to try one more time, and I am glad I did.
