So I'm nearing the end of my fish stock and I'm looking for suggestions. Needs to be compatible and coral/invert safe. Here is my stock list and tank.

110 gallon tall 48long 31tall 18deep.

2- Ocellaris clown fish
1- yellow tang
1-yellow watchman
2-pajama cardinals
1-fire fish
1- purple queen anthias
1- chaulk basslet
1-coral banded shrimp
1-blood red shrimp (I think he is best buds with the tang)
1-pistol shrimp (still not sure if he is alive, haven't seen him since I put him in 2 months ago)

Cool list, looks a lot like my own stocking wish list. I have a clown pair, 7 Chromis, and a bi-color blenny. Also have blood red shrimp, two skunk cleaner shrimp, and a tuxedo urchin.

I love the Bi-color blenny, it goes from rock to rock with its head out, really cool coloring.

I know the chromis aren't sexy, but they do add color and tend to school a bit.

What about a royal gamma?

Also, I love my tuxedo urchin, and I like my skunk cleaner shrimp better than the blood red shrimp - they are always out, and watching the fish go to them to get cleaned is very cool.

Like said above, Royal Gramma, great colour and price, hardy fish...

What is your thoughts on a bristle tooth tang. My other choices were a type of flasher wrasse. I mainly started the thread to hopefully get a suggestion I haven't thought of.

I'm new at this, but everything I've read says if you want to have multiple tangs you can do it, but in larger tanks, where you should add them at the same time, and last. I'm sure people have had success doing it otherwise, but you might be rolling the dice by adding another tang to a tank that size where you already have a yellow.

Puprle Pseudo, very cool neon purple color, cheap and hardy. A little agressive for its smaller size so best to be one of the last in the tank anyways. Another tang would be nice too like a yellow eye, tomini or bristletooth tang. You may have trouble adding another tang with the yellow already in there.
 
Black cap basslet

Sixline wrasse

Fridmani pseudochromis

Pygmy angel (Coral Beauty, Flame, or Flameback)

Regal blue (Hepatus) tang

FWIW,
Kevin

I am just not a tang lover, well actually, I love tangs, but resist them as I have found them to be quite territorial, some more than others and very supceptible to the Ick parasite....I need a 6-8 footer if I go with them again. The only tang I could fit in a 4 footer would be a yellow eyed kole, and that width is right on the boarder of too small.

Sorry, I have no wrasses as I have shrimps which will be lunch and a mandarin in which the wrasse will compete for his food....

Two tangs in a 4 foot long tank is a HUGE gamble. Yellows tend to be fairly aggressive, especially to other tangs.
