Stocking question for a 125 fowlr

I have a 6 foot long 125 that is currently stocked with the following:
Scopas tang
Yellow tang
Red sea sailfin tang
Fox face
Niger trigger
Ocelaris clownfish
4 yellow tail damsels
Snowflake eel
I haven't added anything to the tank in a while so I'm wondering what, if anything would be a good addition.
 
The list is fine except for the salfin tang, who gets too big for a 125g. I wouldn't keep the damsels either. They will probably kill among themselves until one is left.

I'd say you're pretty maxed out in terms of bio-load capacity. I would stop adding large fish and only add small fish if you want.
 
i agree with sandwi54 on everything except the damsels.they may quarrel among themselves, but if added at the same time they wont kill each other and will add some colour to the tank in the process. I have a pair and they get along very well, i wish i got more when i bought them
 
I wouldn't get a niger triggerfish, I've seen big ones. IMO they are better suited for a 180, maybe a smaller trigger or something else?
 
IMO, your tank is overstocked right now, and the niger trigger and the sailfin tang are going to outgrow your system. If you remove these two fish., then I think you could add a few more.
