Looking for Fish Suggestions

[ReeferBean]

Any suggestions on the next fish I should get? They will all be quarantined. I'm going to add some nice wrasses last. So looking now for a Convict Tang, and small fish that are colorful and interesting. I'm not opposed to more anthias. The male ish Bimac is the boss and chases them a bit but spreads the love around... he's mostly aggressive towards the other Bimacs. He didn't seem to care very much when I added the other anthias but does push them around a little.

No more wrasses for now, I'm going to save my cheddar for a few nice ones last.

The tank is 300 gallons- 72 x 36x 27. Lots of swimming room.

I currently have-


4 Bimaculatus Anthias

2 Lyretail Anthias

1 Sunset Anthias

1 Carberryi Anthias

1 Blue Tang

2 Yellow Tangs

1 Scopas Tang

1 Exquisite Wrasse

1 Yellow Canary Wrasse

1 Female Ornate Leopard

1 Royal Gramma

1 Fork Tail Fang Blenny

1 Striped Fang Blenny

2 Red Fire Fish

2 Clowns

People have mixed feelings on Dwarf and Pygmy Angels, but that could be an option if you don't mind a bit of a gamble with corals. Certain ones tend to be more successful than others.

Really tempting but not sure I am brave enough for that.

What about a bunch of Rolland, Talbots and yellow tail damsels?

You took the wind out of my sails a bit when you said "No Wrasses" as that is my standard go to for these situations.

Dartfish are often overlooked. There are some pretty cool variants of those.
There was just an article on here about Genicanthus angels. Think you should take a look at that. They are amazing, (and medium). Hawkfish are fun and longboard are beautiful. Like stated a damsel colony would be fun to look at. Dragonets hop around and look adorable while doing so and in a 300 gallon competition would be less of a concern. There is a ton of fish you could do. A quick browse though live aquaria would give you some more ideas.

Hmmm, there is someone on here that has 20 something damsels which made for a really cool display.

Sorry! I definitely want another Lineatus. I had a super male a while back and its my all time favorite fish. I also like the red and yellow tail tamarins.

Genicanthus and Dartfish... great suggestions. Thank you. I had a Female Watanabie and it was a great fish.

Here is a pic of some of the current gang. Please excuse the dead acro.

A tank this size needs a proper angel. If it has been established for awhile, I'd maybe take a look at dragonets. They hop from rock to rock and are really fun to watch.

I'd go with Genicanthus personally. Safe for your reef and you get a more modest sized angel.

Tank has been running since February, but I didn't add any fish until maybe August. I did add loads of pods, but not sure its ready yet for a dragonet. The striped blenny I have, which is aquacultured, doesn't eat anything I add to the tank. It forages for pods all day and night. Nice and plump though.
