Just curious if I am maxed out for fish

[MBVette]

I have a 210g w/ a 75g sump, and am curious if I am pretty much maxed out at this point. I want to add a trio of flasher wrasses, but not sure it would be the wisest move to add them in. So just looking for your opinions.

My current stocklist:
Desjardini Sailfin Tang
Blonde Naso Tang
Chevron Tang
2 Flame Angels
5 Bartlett Anthias
2 Chromis
Mystery Wrasse
3 Helfrichi Firefish
Randalls Goby/Pistol
Yellow Watchman/Pistol
Diamond Goby
2 Osc Clowns
Midas Blenny

probaby yes but depending on your filtration and aggression in the tank you may get away with adding one or two more. There is no easy yes or no answer. Im sure youll get the tang police in here saying you cant have 2 tangs in a 210 but do what you feel is the right thing and what will work in your setup.

Right now I have no real agression anywhere. The anthias all pick on themselves (have one that is hiding from the others currently) and the mystery wrasse every once in awhile decides to chase a fish but that lasts about 2 seconds and they are done.

The tangs all get along great and all swim w/ each other through the tank all day. And yes I know there is the possibility that the Naso might become to large for the tank, but that is probably a few years down the road.

"Tang Police" is ad hominem and assumes your opinion is better than the people who don't agree with your opinion. You should really "lose the attitude".

From what I've read a Mystery Wrasse will pick on flasher and fairy wrasses

Yes, from my experience that is true.

so a general rule of thumb is no flasher wrasses w. the mystery wrasse.

Well I wouldnt be opposed to taking out the mystery wrasse, if it wouldnt be such a ***** trying to catch him. Guess my flasher wrasse trio is out then. Thanks for the heads up on that

Your Mystery Wrasse, already in that tank, will tear apart those Flashers. It would have to come out if you want to add any Flasher Wrasses
