Can i get another fish

[madmike10000]

I have a 65 gallon tank with a 32 gallon sump. I have 1 tomato clown(2inches) 2 chromis(1inch) and a kole tang(3inches) im running dual reactors with carbon/gfo i have a fuge with macro. And a bubble magnus curve 5 skimmer. And alot of soft corals/lps and some sps. Everything is great. Is my bioload to much to add another fish? I was thinking a 6line wrasse or something. What do you guys think?

I think you should be fine with a wrasse . Just keep up maintenance

With time, aggression will be a bigger problem for you than bioload. The tomato and Kole will be a handful in that tank as they mature.

The tomato clown alone will consider most of the tank volume its territory.

Yes the tomato is very mean. It dosent boss the other fish but it does bit my hand when put it in there. Should i trade him for 2 normal clownfish?

I don't think they are quite that mean, but it's pretty close

Yes maroon clowns are just as mean, so are the Clarki's and any clowns shaped like them.

I would say you can have comfortably 8 fish in your tank as long as most are smaller than the tang.

Oh an NO to the 6 line as they usually become very aggressive as they mature. Get a McCosker's wrasse or similar flasher wrasse.

Thanks for heads up on the 6 line. What other small community fish would work?

Any of the flasher wrasses are good and my favorite of them is the McCosker's wrasse. If you get one make sure it's a male, which are more expensive than the females but so much more color. We're not talking about an expensive fish either. Check out Live Aquaria's reef safe wrasses http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/aquarium-fish-supplies.cfm?c=15+1378

McCosker's wrasse

Now my favorite of all fish in my tank is the Golden Midas Blenny. Love this fish beautiful golden yellow color, very personable and get's along with all other fish. He will swim in the middle water column more often than not and when it's not swimming it will be backed into his hole in a live rock with his face looking out watching the tank.

My matra is if you have to ask you already know the answer. I'd say as said before your going to have issues with the clown and tang. Don't add anything else until you rehome one of them. I'd wait and see which one you want to keep if you want to add other stuff
