Stocking question

Current inhabitants:
sailfin tang (~5" long)
naso (new addition, ~3" long)
one spot foxface (new addition, ~3" long)
pair of Clarkii
six line
splendid dottyback (new addition, ~3" long)
starry blenny
trio of lyretail anthias (new additions)
single blue eyed cardinal

Does the collective think I'm fully or overstocked?

I'd like to add a Genicanthus at some point, and maybe more lyretails (3 or so, not crazy amounts).
 
I personally think you have more than enough room to add all 4 of those if you wanted to. But I'm not so sure adding the dottyback was a good idea (they're aggressive).
 
Few observations:

1. I have a 265 with 40 fish so IMO you have lots of room for more :)
2. I had a splendid Dottyback in my tank that I had to remove; it got very aggressive and was limiting my future fish choices (I really like bassletts)
3. Both the Sailfin and Naso will eventually outgrow the tank, so be prepared
4. Resistance is futile :lol:
 
I would trade the Naso and Sailfin for smaller species of tang. Remove the is line and doty back. Add more tangs and angel and Anthias you like and more fish. Wrasse other than so line. Orchid dottyback is great. Consider royal gramma. Clowns....

See the fish selection for my tank
