Looking for suggestions

[KrissiIZme]

Tank is 135 gallons 6ft long, 2ft deep, 18in wide

I posted this on my "tank build thread" but since I am really the only one that ever responds to my tank build thread I thought I'd get more if I posted it here:

Stocking decisions...So right now I only have 2 fish salfin blenny and yellow tang. Trying to decide what other fish I want to add. I'd like to do clown fish again...even though I know I'll curse at them every time they bite my hand when it's in the tank. I think my tang needs a swimming buddy though. He tries so hard to get the blenny to swim with him...it's cute. So any suggestions of fish? I wont add any more for a while as my tank is still newish. But I want to start looking and researching.

some fish I have in mind are:
clowns(no maroons)
dartfish
cardinals
Maybe some Anthias
Maybe another tang, but worried about aggression with the current tang in there
Definitely want a shrimp gobby pair with a pistol and a glown goby (my favorite tiny fish)
so many choices
And for nostalgia purposes I sorta want a yellowtail damsel. That was my very first saltwater fish 9 years ago. And that fish was my little trooper!

The fish you have in mind could all be done . The clowns if/when they pair will be territorial, just like the yellowtail damsel will with age and size. As far as another tang goes I wouldn't attempt it in a 135g, if it works in the short term as the tangs get bigger aggression issues will arise

I figured as much with the tangs. Most the fish I listed are fish I had in the past (before I moved from CA to SD). Any fish suggestions I have not listed? I am not one of "those" people that will put a fish in my tank knowing or planning on upgrading to a bigger tank (I know how life is...plans are foiled by other expenses and events). I'd eventually like to have a wrasse but I flip-flop on that because I like my tiny hitch-hiking feather dusters and other various inverts as much as wrasses love to eat them.

I like goby/pistol shrimp pairs or maybe a hawkfish or royal gramma? The possibilities are endless, I would definetly get more smaller fish as opposed to fish that will get over 4" or so

All the fish you mention should be good, another tang as long as it isnt one of the larger aggressive, Sohol, Clown tangs, should be good. Also look at wrasses, they come in many colors and are very active fish that I feel add alot to a tank.
