120 stocking suggestions?

[akhanf]

Hi guys, just bought a new 120 gal (4'x2'x2')!
Gonna be transferring everything from my current 55 to the new tank. Here's what I have in there right now:

2 percula clowns
1 bangaii cardinal
1 bicolor blenny
1 lawnmower blenny
1 brazilian gramma
1 cleaner wrasse
1 potter's angel
and various shrimps/urchins/crabs/snails etc..

I want to get a couple bigger fishes since all my fish are pretty small right now. Thinking about a tang (purple tang?) and maybe a trigger (niger or bluethroat?).

Any thoughts/suggestions?

you have a lot of small fish a trigger might not be a good with them, purple tang is one of the most aggressive tangs out there he wonââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢t bother any of the fish you already have but if you want to add another tang that could be a problem, not too big of a problem if you chose the right one to go with him

I heard the bluethroat is a pretty peaceful fish; anyone keep any with small fish?
As for tangs, can anyone recommend 2 tangs that can live together in this size of a tank?

Many of them can, too many to name. Just stay away from the ones that are more aggressive. How to find out? Read different webpages opinions on their selling page. .

Some of them mention if a certain tang is aggressive, Purple, Chevron, Achilles, ect. . .

You can mix just about any tangs. . Blue, Yellow, Whitecheeck, kole, the list goes on and on. . .

My purple tang is very aggressive towards any other tangs. Killed 3 a naso , a unicorn and a sailfin.
All of the other tangs seemed to be very peacful.

Yeah I think I'll skip on the trigger and aggressive tangs, they'll be too much of a headache.. you think 2 easy tangs and a school of anthias (6?) will be ok instead?

Niger triggers truly are beautiful fish. Mine has left my corals and inverts alone, but I understand that they can become destructive with age. Still, they're worth a look if you're looking for something with personality (and particularly sharp teeth!)
