Just be aware that your blue throat, if you elect to get, has been known to do some rearranging of your rockwork...

Thank you for the input. I am aware of the Coris Wrasse and the Blue Throat Triggers moving rock work. I will be gluing all of my rock work together. Do you think that this is a decent stockiest or if it is too much for this tank?

Depending on the size of the specimens that you get will be the most influential factor. Other than that, so long as your filtration can handle whatever bio load created, you should be fine.

What is your current species of dwarf angel? Golden dwarf angels are a delicate and retiring species. It can very well be bullied or intimidated by the existing angel.

Bicolor goatfish get big and predatory.

Checkerboard wrasses get aggressive to other wrasses.

My current angel is a Pacific Pygmy (https://www.bluezooaquatics.com/productdetail.asp?cid=9&pid=167&did=1). Thank you for the info in regards to the other fish. Would the ember blenny and tailspin blenny get along? Do you think That this load is ok? Is it too heavy or could i add a couple more small fish? Do you think i have fish for all levels of the aquarium (top, middle, bottom)?

In a 210g an ember and stigmatura should be ok with the stigmatura in first.

Stocking capacity varies system to system. Yours looks fine but test parameters often and add slowly.

Thanx. I appreciate the help. I always have good filtration, appropriate protein skimmer, carbon reactor, might add an algae scrubber this time, a full refugium, and well stocked CUC. What do you know about the Temmincki and Sneaky Wrasse?

What do you think about those angelfish pairing? Also, the goatfish was for a bottom dweller. I do not want predatory fish since i like small fairy wrasse and I always get my Leopards small. So, what about adding a jawfish and a couple goby and pistol shrimp pairs? Sorry to bother you, but I like all of my fish to be in a good environment, happy, healthy, and therefore having a good personality.

Temminkii is a more aggressive fairy wrasse, not bad to other fish, but pushy to other wrasses.

There are a couple Pteragogus species periodically available to hobbyists, some stay relatively small, some get bigger. They are all very peaceful, but the larger species may be predatory to small tankmates.

I'm wary of the 2 angels together.

Jawfish and watchman goby/pistol shrimp pr are good choices.

Do you think that my tank would be big enough for 2 shrimp goby pairs?

It should be, they don't have a big territory.

Also, what about 2 jawfish?

Multiple Pearly head jawfish will be ok.

I am sorry I keep bothering you, but I appreciate all of your help. I have a couple more questions. Can the gobies be different kinds or do they need to be the same kind? Also, can the jawfish be different? Such as a pearly and a tiger?

The gobies can be different species.

Jawfish of different species don't always work out.

 

[Gator0930]

So 2 jawfish can be ok as long as they are the same species, but the species is not as important?
Also, what about mixing anthias?

[eatbreakfast]

No. Most jawfish aren't very tolerant of each other. Pearly head jawfish are social.

Anthias have degrees of aggression. Species in the same degree of aggression can be mixed.
