How many fish you can support really depends on feeding and your bio filtration (I have 32 in my 200-gallon). I have two dwarf angels and two regular angels that all get along great (you only really have to be careful with the dwarfs as they're territorial towards each other). The lyretail anthias also get along great (I have marcia's and red fairy as well).

Other fish that I have that I particularly like: striped dottyback, damsels, flame hawkfish, midas blenny, quoy's parrotfish, cleaner, sixline and melanarus wrasses.

Thank you for the input. I have a clarisea roller and a filter cup 7”, also a nyos 200. I’m good in the filtration I think. I’m just having difficulty trying to figure which fish to get first when it comes to the tangs.

We have a white tail bristletooth tang, scopas tang, mimic tang and lieutenant 200g. We also have a mix of wrasse McCosker's, silver belly, 2 meleagris leopard, ornate leopard, star leopard, pencil wrasse, black leopard. Also a midas, clowns, bicolor goatfish, evansi anthias, one spot foxface, swallowtail angel. We will be adding a pintail wrasse, borbonious anthias. Have you thought about a swallowtail angel, watanabei angel, diamond butterfly?

I like all 3, specially the butterfly’s. Just want to be sure they will be ok with the rest of the fish since I have a gobie , Blennie, and some cardinals. I don’t want to just base my self on the live aquaria chart, do you know if they will try to hurt the other guys?
Thanks for your help.

I had a cardinal in the mix that lived to be 7 years, miss him but will add another and blennies without an issue. My midas blenny gets in and swims with everyone and my mimic tang is the largest at 7ish inches and swallowtail 6 inches. The only butt head at times when some new fish go in is my pygmy angel, maybe a size thing but it's annoying!
