Help with fish selections

[DJasak]

I'm buying either a 125 or 180 in the next few weeks, I love dwarf angels and am curious if I can add multiple in a tank of this size. The fish I'm looking at are a flame angel, coral beauty, eibli angel, and bicolor. I want one of each, will this b ok or is it a bad idea? I'm also looking at getting a magnificent fox face and one spot fox face, again will I be ok?

That's a lot personally....

Would 2 or 3 be ok?

I had a coral beauty and a flame angel in a 110, two seemed to work for me.

I would not put more than three dwarf angels in it. Just to lower the risk.

I would add 3 of the same or two different ones. Like 3 flames or 1 flame and 1 coral beauty. Whatever ones you prefer. Check out the reef fish section, there have been a lot of recent posts around this same subject should help you out.

Ok so here's what I'm thinking...180 gallon tank, stocked as follows:
1 yellow tang
1 purple tang
1 powder blue tang
1 blonde naso tang
1 magnificent foxface
1 flame angel
1 bicolor angel
1 blue jaw trigger
1 blue spotted jawfish
1 clownfish pair
5 carberryi anthias (1 male + 4 females)
3 orchid dotties
3 purple firefish
1 mandarin
1 zebra eel
2 fire shrimp
1 scarlet cleaner shrimp

I have a Flame, Multicolor, and a Multibar in my 240 and there's a good amount of aggression between the 3. It usually occurs when they see each other. I would say 2 would be your max in either tank.

Just read your post as we posted at the same time. Please take the Naso off the list as they require a bigger tank. If you are going to do the Foxface, I recommend only doing 2 tangs. That is way too many fish for that tank. I only have 18 fish in my 240.

Bummer, the naso is one of my all time favorites, however after reading more I would have to agree a 180 will be too small for this fish...what about a hippo tang instead?

I would not. Others to avoid would be any Naso spp, the two large sailfins, and the Sohal and clown tangs.

A better alternative would be a Ctenochaetus sp, like a kole, tomini, or white tail.
