Fish to add to existing list

[gordob]

I'm trying to add another fish to my list, and can't decide what to get. Currently, I have an Arc Eye Hawkfish, a Neon Dottyback, and a Gold Stripe Maroon Clown. They are all housed in a 44 gal flatback hex tank, with softies, leathers, LPS, and a Scroll Coral. I've had a Flame Angel before, and it did fine. That was before the three fish that I have currently. I would really like to add another one of those, but I'm not sure I should.

Can anyone give me some suggestions please? I'm opened to suggestions on other fish also, aside from Damsels.

Thanks in advance.

A large Solar wrass might be nice.
It isn't agressive, yet it can still hold its own against hawks, dottys, and GSM's. It will also add a nice splash of color to your tank.

Thanks for the input. I'll look into that. They are very nice, and I hadn't thought of one before.

Are you suggesting that the Flame Angel is not a good idea?

Also, I have a crushed coral substrate, so is that o.k. for the Solar Wrasse?

The fish you have now are fairly aggressive, I would worry about the wrasse getting bullied, which isn't a concern with a flame angel.

I agree. All three of your current inhabitants are fairly aggressive, especially to new additions. And 44g isn't that big a tank. I'd just have a backup plan to remove any bullies while your new addition settles in (whatever it may be). I'd be worried that the wrasse might jump if chased too much.

Aggressive fish you have there....you may have to remove the dotty and clown to qt to put another one in there....also are you concerned about nutrient levels???if so i wouldnt add another...if not go for it......

6 line wrasse???goby or blenny of some sort???? yes a flame angel or coral beauty?????many choices....just make it a small fish

Thanks guys!!! I think the Flame Angel might be the fish of choice.
