Fish list Yay or nay?

[FlyinPete]

Okay since starting my hobby, I've learned a lot and made a lot of mistakes.
I'm not sure if anybody remembered but my tank was premature and I ended up killing 80% of my inhabitants because I didn't listen to anyone here.

I've taken the proper precautions since then and I've restarted quite a nice tank.

With that being said I'd like some advice on my fish list now

I'd like to add in a few new fish and I was wondering if there would be discord with my current stock.

To add in:
Bicolor blenny
Dwarf Flame Angel
A couple of Chromis

Current Stock:
Yellow Tang 4" approx
Pair of clowns
Yellow Watchman Goby
Firefish

With the bicolor blenny, would it and my YWG fight eachother to the death? I love my Yellow watchman but I'm just in love with the bicolor blenny's colors

My tank currently has 1 LPS coral and I'm waiting a bit longer for my tank to mature to get more (4months old), I've read that Dwarf flame angels are more likely to munch on SPS but they can also eat LPS if they're hungry, if I just fed once a day would that be fine?

I love schooling fish and I always wanted to have one but I heard chromis, although being the most peaceful of all damsels actually just kill all of eachother off. I really would like to keep 6 and just see them swim around together but would it just be better off to not get them?

Also is this bioload too heavy for my tank?

I have 90lbs of liverock and an FX6 canister filter.

Thanks for all the helps guys!

I'd get 3 chromis, assuming you're a 90 gallon. And maybe one yellowtail damsel, which is small, quiet, and may reassure the silly chromis, who can be spooky. The blenny should be fine. You may be heading for trouble with the angel, if you want lps corals. There's no angel that's 100% safe. Nor are rabbitfish (for another of bad habits). Keep your alk immaculate at 8.3 to keep down aggression.

Thanks for the quick response, I guess I'll have to stay away from the Flame angels then

Sounds like a good stock to me. Angels are always risks but if it works out they are worth it. I would try it if I were you but that's just me.

FlyinPete, I have a Coral Beauty Dwarf Angel in my 180g reef and it doesn't bother any corals. But I have a Potters Dwarf Angel I got from another reefer because it was eatting corals (it's in a 75g FOWLR with a couple of butterflyfish who also eat corals.

As far as schooling fish go cardinalfish are a good option, particularly the Yellowstripe cardinal. Blue/green chromis are one of the best fish to have in a group IMO, if you can keep them alive, they look amazing shimmering under dimmed lights/moonlights, however more people seem to have problems with them than people who don't. You may get away with 4 Anthias which would definitely shoal, however they do need multiple feedings a day.

 

[FlyinPete]

Yeah I can't really keep up with the feeding that anthias need, even though I really want them.
I don't really want my chromis to pick eachother off either so it's a big dilemma.

I'll have to really think hard about that dwarf flame angel, the amount of people that had trouble with it greatly outweigh the people that had model citizens.
Their colors are so mesmerizing though I really wish they were 100% reef safe

Take a look at the basslets incl chalk bass, royal gramma, wrasses, or blue Fiji damsel, which is bright blue, but pretty mild.

Are wrasses prone to jumping? I always wanted an exquisite fairy wrasse but I was always afraid they'd take a carpet dive since I don't have a lid.
It's scary enough knowing whenever my tang swims around my firefish's home he goes to the top of my tank :<

The blue fiji damsel is just too risky, can't have a bully in my tank. With my aquascape it'd be just impossible to get it out. I know every fish is different but I'd prefer damsels that have a peaceful tag over an aggressive tag.

The royal gramma seems really nice.
