can I add anymore fish?

[carpus]

I have a reef tank 120 total gallons with ozone

Here a list of my livestock

1 yellow tang
7 false percula clowns
2 firefish
1 damsel
1 false lemonpeel angel

Was wondering if I could fit any more fish. a blue powder tang??

The percula's are still juveniles so I cant realli "see" how crowded my tank might be in the future. Thanks

7 clowns? When they become non-juvenile you'll start to see some paring up, and if they don't have territories they feel comfortable with (an anemone is an example) they might start fighting.

You probably could "cram" another fish in there, I would not go with a PBT though. If it was me, I'd pull out 5 of those clowns and replace them with similar sized smaller fish. Large fish are nice and all, but the other side of the coin is you can't have as many, smaller fish give you that choice.

I'm with Mike. Take out 5 clowns and put another nice fish in there. PBT is really nice but it's a pain in neck to keep it happy. Purple tang is nice too.


Don't tell anyone but I have more fish than your list in my 100G :worried: :strooper:

Don't add a blue powder tang or any or the other tangs that tend to get ick more than the others....

PS How big of a skimmer do you have on that thing and how often do you do water changes?

If you look up the adult size of each fish and cut a simple strip of typing paper that length and height and tack to the front of your tank, you will get a really good vision of what it will be like. The tang, I think will take a full sheet of paper, and the damsel---most of one. Firefish will be pretty well what they are. Your clowns, each about a third of a piece of paper, depending on species and gender.

well im thinking of some anthias. but it seems like they are very hard to acclimate in tanks.
