Suggest me some fishes...

[chueu]

I have a 180G. With ample rock and hiding room... A 65G sump with Refugium.. It is a mixed reef with sps, lps and softies.

This tank has been up two months. Most of my fish came from my 30g.

Current fish i have from my 30g:
2 x ocellaris clowns
1 x mandarin (he survived on fresh baby brine in my 30g for a year, he now has a nice refugium growing pods for him )
1 x lieutenant tang (bought him as a brown tang about 1 inch, he's now about 3.5 inches)
1 x blue tang (sorry tang police, got him just before this tank was setup)
1 x long nosed hawk fish

Recently acquired:
1 x fox face lo (very recent, some chasing and aggression at the beginning, but seems to have dissipated, he's still a bit shy)
1 x goby ( i do not know what type he is, blackish with stripes, hides a lot.)
1 x scarlet skunk, 1 x boxing shrimp


So here's the deal, most of the fish from the 30g are pals and hang out in one side of the new tank, looking pretty empty. Even the fox face has taken to following the blue tang a bit.

I think with the two tangs, I've done enough or can i get another tang? I would like a third if there is no aggression.

So id like to get some smallish fish, can you guys suggest some?

What i have in mind so far is:
A cleaner wrasse or two
a neon blue goby or two
A wrasses such as a six line n fairy (i have some red planaria worms, from old tank, treated with flatworm exit thrice but didn't completely eradicate them)
A firefish or two

I'd like some suggestions on smallish fishes such as anthias, etc which i don't know much about.

Also since i got the goby for four days, i don't know what it eats. I've tried garlic soaked brine, pellet, baby brine, reefroids.

Thanks for any help, and i accept critique.

Browsing on live aquaria reveals my goby to be a sleeper banded goby

1x long nosed hawk fish may + 0x boxing shrimp. It's not called a Hawk for nothing. It would probably be best to only add fish that are equal to or larger than the hawk's size. It was one of the first fish I saw that I liked but I was scared off of them due to their reported tendency to eat anything small that wanders below them. You may also end up with only one firefish if you get more than one.

Anthias are very beautiful fish, especially in groups. Looking at pictures online I always say the females are prettier than the males. I recently got a real up-close look at a male Lyretail and he was absolutely beautiful. Made me wish I had a large enough tank for them.

You may like a small group of Cardinals, maybe even a group of Chromis in that size. Other nice little fish are Zebra Barred or Scissortailed Dartfish, Blue Gudgeon Gobies and Hector's Goby. Jawfish are interesting to watch although they pretty much stay in one spot. Maybe a Chalk Bass or Striped Blenny?

Whenever I see these posts asking which fish someone should get, we all pretty much end up telling you which fish we want. lol. Maybe you could tell us which types of fish interest you the most and we can go from there?

Avoid the six line wrasse.

I would add some angels of the Genicanthus sp.

Thanks for the suggestions.

My hawkish is well behaved and just perches. I don't think the boxing shrimp will fit in its mouth. He even avoids my tiny clown, he just follows me along with the tang in the hopes i feed it.

I forgot to mention, one of my recent acquisitions is a cardinal. I will probably add a few more, but what I'm looking for is smallish fish.

Yes, i like to see what people want.

Why? Can you give me a reason?

I love angels, but the genicanthus are one of the subspecies that i don't like.. What'd i give for an angel that doesn't eat coral

Reef safe, model citizens and IMO pretty.

Melenarus wrasse not six line. Six lines have a terrible reputation. Not always true as I have seen a few good ones but from what I understand they always end up turning bad.

Cleaner Wrasses are great.

Love watching before lights out. He cleans all the tangs and triggers. They kind of line up for him

Also loves nori and mysis!

Really?? Mine has been a model citizen for the year I've had him :/ I hope this isn't true for mine >^> he does chase 2 fish on occasion, but he's never bitten them, just looks at them really hard and swims away lol.

Unfortunately I would say that the change is coming. I have not known a single six line owner that didn't eventually hate that fish.
