Walker Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I'm already starting to plan out next steps for my 90g (48x18x24). The tank is pretty mature now, SPS are stable and growing, LPS are happy, and fish are for the most part well-behaved. I feel like I need to add 2-3 fish to increase bioload. So far I have: pair of occelaris clowns yellow eye kole tang McCosker's wrasse Lubbock fairy wrasse yellow coris wrasse tailspot blenny yellow watchman/tiger pistol pair What other fish would work with this mixed reef? I was thinking a rabbitfish or another tang, but apparently the tank's not big enough for another grazer. The only other thing I can think of is a small group of anthias. I don't think cardinals will do well in lots of flow, and I think I'm maxed out with wrasses. Link to comment
VABumpkin Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 If you want a schooling fish try a group (4-5) of gobies. Trimma or Eviota. A group of Anthias is really pushing it. If you want a larger fish you could definitely do another Halichoeres or Leopard wrasse. A single sunburst anthias could work as well. Link to comment

I do like my wrasses. I was thinking of adding a larger fish that can hold its own, as the wrasses, clowns, and tang are quite boisterous. Link to comment
Snow_Phoenix Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 You could do a Striped Squirrelfish (I personally think they're stunning): http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+42+316&pcatid=316 If you don't have any small inverts, then you could try this hawkfish or goatfish: http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+34+191&pcatid=191 http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+46+688&pcatid=688 Or if you fancy the color red and need something vivid, then go for a hogfish: http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+35+1691&pcatid=1691 Link to comment
seabass Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 You could get a Black Axil Chromis (Chromis atripectoralis). Link to comment
Nature786 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Get a blue Jaw tilefish, one of my friends recently got one in his 415 gallon and by far it's the most beautiful fish in his tank. http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+1636+152&pcatid=152 Link to comment
