All my fish are babies - tangs 2.5< in size.

Rockwork a LOT. Lots of hiding places. I’ve yet to see major aggression from anyone but again. They’re babies.

Guess I want to know if I’ve pushed my tank stocking to the limits and if I should stop. The reason I ask is my son is deeply involved in the tank (6 y.o) and his bday he wants one more fish.

Do you think the tang gang will let another occupant into the reef neighborhood?

You got room for more fish.

I think that if I bring in a wrasse, probably, or anthia the powder blue is new as is the copperband and they’ve played nice this far. Got ideas?

You have a decent size tank it's just a matter if the big fish will be cool. I'd try 3 springerie damsels. These are pretty fish and tough little guys who can hold their own.

Keeping in mind growth potential, you may be at capacity. Other consideration God forbid, a disease breakout and you will need to remove these fish to a separate tank/container and then comes feeding

Yeah. Let’s hope that day doesn’t come. I wasn’t really anticipating on adding more but I’m a sucker for my son and figure one more wouldn’t hurt. Any suggestions? I mean in general my tank is semi aggressive reef safe. That said there are basically no coral in place yet.

Oh. You meant another tang 5? Maybe. Quite possibly.

How about orange shoulder? Yeah no he immediately came in and was a jerk. Fortunately he was stjpid and picked a fight with the fox face and learned it was a bad idea. The sailfin and him I foresee being mutual nemesis when older but now there’s order and he seems to have his attention elsewhere.
