stocking question

[troynel]

You can see my tank specs below.

I have right now 6 chromis
4 athias lyertails - 2"
1 powder blue -3"
1 yellow tang - 2 1/2"

can i fit any more fish in my tank or do i already have to many? I was thinking of adding either some more athias or chromis or little odd ball fish.

Bio load wise you could probably add more, but your PBT is somewhat likely to cause problems for any new fish you add. I'd definitely stay away from more fish of a similar body type and feeding behavior, but you might be successful in adding the anthias or chromis. Be ready to pull the tang for a time out or the new fish though.

believe it or not he really isn't the territorial one in my tank. The yellow tang bothers him and he doesn't bother anybody. I have added fish 2 months after the pbt has been in there and he basically is to busy beating his reflection up to notice.

I would say you have room to add more. If you have sand, I would strongly consider 1-3 jawfish. Of all the expensive fish I have, everyone that looks at my tank is drawn to their antics.

Another recommendation would be some kind of blenny. Again, lotta personality.
