Can I add another wrasse?

So, I'm already feeling like my tank is fairly well-stocked, but I'd like to add another wrasse, if there is one out there likely to get along with my six-line and other critters. Any suggestions? Any other fish you'd recommend? (If you want to yell at me for having a blue tang in a 4' tank, go ahead and give it to me -- I'm already feeling a bit guilty about it, but he seems happy. I know I might have to give him up when he gets bigger than 3".)

48x18 90 gallon.

2 clowns
1 six-line wrasse
3 green chromis
1 royal gramma
1 blue tang (3")
1 medium cleaner shrimp
1 peppermint shrimp
1 medium brittle star

Thanks in advance.
 
Some flasher will be great addition when you move the blue tang... but only one with six line would be a risk if six line is big... it may become too bold with a single flasher...but 2 or 3 will be fine ... as they stay small , your tank will be fine...
 
Thanks. The six-line hasn't grown at all in about a year. He's about 3". I was thinking I'd keep the tang for another year or two, until it got up around 5" or so. You think I should wait, I guess.
 
I wouldnt recommend anything that looks remotely close to your sixline. However, you could do a leopard wrasse. Try and get one at least as big as your sixline and they should be fine. I added my leopards to my tank after my sixline was already in and he didnt bother them. But I added a filamented flasher and the sixline wouldnt leave him alone. Ended up having to give the flasher to a friend.

By the way, I think your fine with the blue tang in your tank. You really dont have alot of fish.
