New fish suggestions

brianbrainstein · 09/14/2018, 09:24 AM

Hey Everyone,

I need some help with deciding on adding new fish to my 220 reef tank. I'd really like to add more wrasses (is that the appropriate sp? for wrasse plural). Here is my current stock list:

-6 Lyretail Anthias
-Red Shoulder Wrasse
-Melenarus Wrasse
-Blue Throat Trigger
-Sailfin Tang (I've had it for a year now and it is apparently a slow grower, only around 5 inches, was 4 inches when I purchased)
-Foxface
-Diamond Goby
-Algea Blenny
-Percula clownfish

I'm worried about the Melenarus killing a new addition, but I'm hoping that I can reduce the aggression by introducing multiple. The plan is for this to be the last fish addition to the tank.

Ones I'm particularly fond of are the leopard, lineatus, and most of the flashers.

What are your thoughts?
