stocking question

[emmitt21]

hey, i recently moved to a bit larger of a tank from a 40 gal to a 75 gallon and was wondering what sort of livestock i could add to it (over time). ive recycled a lot from the old tank and it has been an incredibly easy transition as all coral and fish are doing well.

as of now there is an ocellaris, two firefish, a diamondback goby, and a mystery wrasse. i was hoping to add maybe 3 more fish but am just tinkering with the idea thus far. i have a desire to add a kole tang as it stays rather small and it is a handsome tang which i have always wanted, but besides that i would like to possibly add another clown and maybe something else.

just looking for thoughts, concerns, any feedback really. thanks

You should be ok with adding more. Those fish don't get large as adults. For a total of 8-10 fish at a medium size should be perfect. What type of filtration do you have? Sump, skimmer, etc.

its got a 20 gal sump.. like most people, i have wanted a dragonet ever since the first time ive seen them but have never bought one because of their eating habits, this still probably wouldnt work with having the wrasse competing for the same food im assuming.. either way the tank isnt prepared for that sort of fish, i know.

i have a 75g and htis is what i have:
2 firefish
melanaris wrasse
bangaii
yellow watchman/pistol shrimp
lawnmower blenny
2 blue damsels
leopard wrasse

all get along fine.. i had a kole and recently removed him due to not getting along with the blenny.

i am looking to add, 2 percs, royal gramma(had one sixline killed it) and possibly a longnose butterfly.
