oh wow, i didn't think it would that big a problem. I do feel the tang is cramped, but my wife insist and i can't avoid it. as a matter a fact, she wanted a bigger one.
sounds like the biggest issue is the small tank. I too hate that little tank. But again i have to deal with my wife when it comes to aquariums. maybe with this, my wife will let me upgrade sooner than later. thanks for the advice!

Final Fish stock list for future 46G bowfront:
2 Ocelleris Clownfish - one will be a b&w Ocelleris Clownfish
2 Bangaii or PJ Cardinalfish (M & F)
2 Blueline Chromis
Possum Wrasse
Royal Gramma
Either :
1 Clown Goby - either Citrinis or Green
OR
2 or 3 Greenbanded Goby
Multicolor Dwarf Angelfish (last fish added)
Once I have gained enough experience, I'd like to add a Madarin Dragonette. How difficult are they to have? What are the requirements?

We do not recommend 2 tangs in a 90 gallon tank and in fact do not recommend either a sailfin tang or a powder brown in a 90 gallon tank in any case.
the issue is feeding. Even if a dragonette eats frozen, their metabolism is designed around eating constantly and they are notoriously poor "hunters" so they can not easily compete with tank mates.

Okay - maybe the best thing for me is to hold off on the Chromis until they fix the problem of them not coming in healthy.
What are your thoughts on the Pink-Streaked Wrasse instead of the Possum Wrasse?
What can I replace with the Chromis?
The dragonette is now off my list due to their difficulty in feeding them. Beautiful fish no doubt.

What can I replace with the Chromis? Or am I better off with the list minus the Chromis?

As I mentioned, some of those fish are inappropriate for your sized tank. As such I can not really provide effective advice with that stocking list.

Hello, I want to add one final fish to my tank, I have a 34g tank and 5.5g sump. I have some small corals and want to get more so the fish needs to be reef safe.
Right now I have:
two ocellaris clowns
citron goby
neon goby
watchman goby
I was looking to add one of these hopefully if the bioload won't be too high.
firefish - leaning most towards this
dwarf flame angel
yellow prawn goby + pistol shrimp
Thanks!

Hi,
Here's the list that we agreed on no?
A pair of Sustainable Aquatics Black Clown
1 - Chevron Tang (Ctenochaetus hawaiiensis)
1 - Emperor Angelfish (Pomacanthus imperator)
1 - Auriga Butterflyfish (Chaetodon auriga)
1 - Red Sea Purple Tang (Zebrasoma xanthurum)
1 - Magnificent Foxface (Siganus magnificus)
3 - Resplendent Anthias (Pseudanthias pulcherrimus)
1 - Flame Angelfish (Centropyge loriculus)
1 - Multicolor Angelfish (Centropyge multicolor)

The firefish is best and most interesting, but any other symbiotic goby such as a yellow prawn goby would almost certainly be a problem.
Yes, but that was not the list you supplied. I would insure that that the P. imperator was introduced as a juvenile first and the auriga can go in early along with the P. imperator. The two dwarf angels must be quarantined and introduced together although in a 180 it is less critical. I would make sure the purple tang and chevron are introduced together last. Generally I try to introduce fish in pairs so any potential aggression will be defused and not focus on a single new comer.
I'm sorry. Are you implying that the Pick Streaked Wrasse is okay to add or are you saying they're just aggressive as the Six Line?
No, pink streaked wrasses are not at all aggressive. However, if you add a sixline or one of a sixline's first cousins such as a 4 line, they will be aggressive towards the pink streaked wrasse. I must have been unclear, sorry.

Thank you for clearing it up for me. Now I have a good idea what to stock in my 46G tank:
1 Ocelleris Clownfish (tank-bred)
1 B & W Ocelleris Clownfish (tank-bred)
2 Bangaii or PJ Cardinalfish
1 Clown Goby (either the Citrinis or Green)
1 Possum Wrasse or Pink Streak Wrasse
1 Royal Gramma
1 Multicolor Dwarf Angelfish (last fish added)
Now for my Inverts:
2 or 3 Peppermint Shrimp
1 Scarlet Skunk Shrimp
1 Blue Tuxedo Urchin
If I had a choice instead of the Scarlet Skunk Shrimp, I'd love to have a Blue Coral Banded Shrimp. Not sure if Coral Banded Shrimp play nice with other species of shrimp because I'm hearing different opinions.

I want to add a sexy shrimp!

Ok so right now I have a mini carpet anemone, green star polyps, green button polyps(or zoas, people tell me both names), a kenya tree and some mushrooms. Will my sexy shrimp attack the zoas? I also have a domino damsel and sailfin tang. I want the shrimp to host the mini carpet
... cuc is assorted snails and a few small hermits
