need fish suggestion...

[GoldeneyeRet]

This forum has helped me with my stocking plan and I am mostly happy with it. Tank is a 4 ft 120 mixed reef.

The plan is 5-6 wrasses, several gobies, a blenny etc-- all smallish fish. I could post a complete list if it would be helpful. The largest might be a fathead anthias but Im not sure about that one yet.

My families unrelenting pressure has me considering adding one larger fish. Any ideas?

yellow or kole tang-- too aggressive for my little passive community? I do NOT want stressed fish as I will have many skittish fish that I want to be happy.

I love dwarf angels but they are not reef safe.

Yellow pyramid butterfly? Looks great but maybe it is too big for my tank.

help me out, I need medium sized fish with a round body shape. Yellow would be great!

a yellow or kole tang shouldnt really bother the fish on your list, they are more concerned with something their own size or shape.

Thanks for the advice. In my last tank I had a purple tang. He seemed nice and I had him for over 10 years, but I always thought the little fish were a bit intimidated. Is a yellow better? Or perhaps there was something else making them uncomfortable, I don't remember. A yellow tang really would be a nice addition as long as it doesn't cause undue stress.

Are Yellow or Kole compatible with Tailspot and Barnacle blennies?

Does the pyramid need a larger tank?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Get a shrimpgoby and a pistol shrimp. They're quite nice.

Yellow or Kole tang are ok for 120. And nothing is truly "reef safe", dwarf angels are "reef caution" and differ by individual, I have a few in the past and none ever bothered my corals. Only one flame (out of three) had ever nipped on a clam. Pyramid might need a bigger tank.
