What new fish should I get?

[TheWhiteFord]

Fist I have a 120 gallon tank with a smaller (than some) rock structure.

Here are some pics

Also I have 2 mp40w so high flow won't be a problem.

Now to the fish I currently have

Achilles Tang
Purple Tang
Falco Hawkfish
Flame Angel
Coral Beauty Angel
Vrolick's Wrasse
Four Stripe Damsel
2x Clarkii Clownfsh
2x Pajama Cardinalfish
Planning on getting a Banggai Cardinal

Now give me some suggestions![emoji3]

FYI my tank is in a fallow period so that is why there is no fish in the pics, this is why I want to add fish now (at the end of the fallow period) to avoid aggression issues

+ it has to get along with my other fish (no zebrasoma or ancanthorus tangs but other are fine) and it has to be under $225

I want suggestions! don't be afraid to post

Does yours (assuming you have one) bother your zoas or lps?

More wrasses, Flame, Rhomboid. Angels are always hit or miss on softies and LPS. Keep them fed well and they won't eat as many corals

Mixing a few fairy wrasses would be nice - rubyhead, flame, and exquisite would be a good mix of colors and get along, but plenty of others are good, too.

You could also do a group of anthias, if you don't mind the feeding requirements and can keep up with nutrient control. Or consider one of the loner anthias, sunburst or blotched.

For some cheaper options, the Midas blenny is full of personality, and a royal gramma packs a punch of vivid color. Both give huge returns for their low prices.

Thanks! I have an automatic feeder so feeding anthias wouldn't be a problem I have just been debating whether to go with anthias or wrasses

Can the wrasses be added at different times or do they have to added at the same time?

More suggestions!

I'll admit being partial to my dartfish - two zebra darts and three sky-blue gudgeons. For some folks they hide a lot, but mine are always out, providing a flow of movement and color.

Also think blennies, gobies or other semi-cryptic fish who spend a lot of time in, on, and around the rocks might be interesting . . .

I think you're pretty maxed out the way it is.

Either way is fine. Just use an acclimation box when adding a new wrasse, so everyone gets used to each other with the newcomer in a safe space. After a few days, attention should be off the new fish, and then you can release him into the tank.

Not all anthias will eat dry foods, so keep that in mind.

I am pretty sure i am going to go for a wrasse trio so that shouldn't be a problem

[melypr1985]

What about a pyramid butterfly? They are cool, not sure on price though.

 

[TheWhiteFord]

I was also thinking of getting a pair of bluethroat triggers but I am afraid they will hide. Will they?

You don't have a blenny. Maybe a starry blenny?
