Hey guys I plan on Adding a few more fish to the tank and need a little help picking them out. My tank is a 125 gallon 6 foot long, current members:
Sailfin tang
tomini tang
yellow eye kole tang
3 pj cardinals
3 chromis'
Pair of clowns
Leopard wrasse
What else do you guys think I should add?
I was thinking of adding a pistol shrimp and goby pair or foxface. Give me some ideas.
Thanks

Too small for a sailfin, honestly. They need at least 8', I believe.
The other tangs should be okay.
Chromis will usually fight to the death, at least the blue-greens. Either look into a more unusual but peaceful species, or just get one and add a few more pyjamas.
Pistol/goby pair would work fine. I suggest a tiger pistol, given the larger tank.
 
The tank I bought came with a foxface. I wasn't a fan - he spent most of the day looking an ugly brown, camouflage color. I'd add another cool wrasse - mystery, melanarus, orange back or solaris. I also really like flame angels - they can nip at corals, but they are a beautiful fish.
 
Zebrasoma tangs generally have a very slow growth rate, so the 125 long should work for the sailfin for at least a couple years. Like someone already pointed out, the blue/green chromis group will more than likely dwindle down to 1 or 2 specimens. I would look into longspine cardinals, orchid/Sankey's/Springeri dottybacks, royal grammas, chalk basses, Shrimp gobies, some of the more benign damsel species (Azure, yellowtail, springer's, rolland's, Talbot's etc.), the assessor basslets, and the fang blennies (most offered are tank-bred, and no... they will not attack tank mates, only predators) . Good luck :beer:
