Help with reef safe fish addition!

[Chiefmaster30]

I have a 60 gallon tank 9 months old. Currently I have a Splendid Dottyback, Fire fish Goby, Sa Oscelleris Clownfish-Bonded Pair, 2- Green Chromis, Engineer Goby, Yellow Tang, and A missing 6-line wrasse(over 2 weeks now) and I was considering maybe adding 2 or 3 more. Would this be too many for this size tank? I am looking for reef safe, active, and colorful. Any ideas on what's out there that would be compatible? Thanks in advance!

You can go here and post a question or if @eatbreakfast is around?

Yeah, I don't think you need anymore. You should thoroughly research all additions. Some fish need a lot more room. Including tangs..

You are close to your limit. I have a 6 line wrasse and it is never missing (constantly swimming in and out of things). I think you have a sick or dead wrasse somewhere in that tank. Also, don't engineer gobies get really large? My son wanted some and I looked them up and saw they get 12" long. If so then I'm thinking its too big for that tank size with all those cohabitants

Although they get big, engineering gobies are more like an eel than a fish when it comes to space needed, so is fine in a 60g.

A yellow tang will eventually outgrow a 60, but can live in one for awhile.

If it's been missing for two weeks, then the sixline is a goner, either jumped or died and has since been consumed by microfauna in the tank.

If your parameters are good then you should be able to add one or two more. The potential aggression from the splendid dottyback will limit possible new additions. Perhaps a starry, midas, or grammistes blenny, or a springeri, talbots, or azure damsel, or a trio of zebra or scissortail jawfish.

What about a couple of anthius??

Royal Gramma . Small and colorful.

There aren't any good anthias choices for your tank. The species that will do well singly will more than likely be attacked by the dottybac or get too large for a 60, or there are the social species and your tank doesn't have enough space for a group of them.
