Stuck on fish choices.

[reefergeorge]

I want to add a new fish, but my current fish leave me few choices. I have a 125 reef with zoas, polyps, leathers, shrooms, hammer, torches, and rics. The fish are a 9" porc puffer, 3" picasso trigger, 5" sailfin tang, 4" purple tang, 5" foxface, and a 4" coris wrasse.

I want something like a hawkfish, but afraid the puffer will eat it. I also like butterfly fish but don't know enough about them to risk my corals. Something that swims low, or through the rockwork would be good.

Thanks!

I don't think you could add another fish

Your bio-load is quite high. I wouldn't add anymore fish to your system, the trigger and sailfin tang already get too big. IMO a 125 gallon tank shouldn't have more than one or two larger sized fish like tangs, rabbitfish, etc.

add a goby. I personally love the little guys. they have a mean mug face all the time. and they clean your sand. can make the tank a little cloudy with sand particles though. but i love my big tiger goby.

Agreed. Time for another tank. :spin1:

Nope. Nitrates stay around ten, and I don't have an accurate way to read phosphates, but the lack of algae would say it is low.

The sailfin, and wrasse are the only ones that will outgrow the tank, and I'm not to fond of the wrasse as is. The trigger is a known slow grower, and will be fine for another five years.

I don't know if you guys have your tanks stacked with rock, but I have plenty of room for another fish.

I like Dragonettes. Red scooter blennies would be a good choice.

Don't put a scooter in with all those large, aggressive fish.

How about a pair of anthias?
