So far I have a clown, two yellow fin damsels, chainlink eel, a geometric hawk, a TINY foxface, and a dwarf lionfish. I also have a few Inverts, BTA, two starfish, few hermits, and a Mexican turbo.
I'm thinking about a flame angel for my next fish, just wanted to hear what other options you guys think I should think about. I want something interesting, some good active, colorful fish. I'd like to get something that schools, but I know that's hard to get to happen in a tank... So what do you guys think I should consider? ImageUploadedByTapatalk1438719451.918990.jpg
 
Given your current stock list, I wouldn't add anything. While the fox face is tiny now, it'll get big. That's just my two cents. If you do add a fish, flame angels are very colorful. Maybe a wrasse?
 
OK just stop and take a breath. You may want to research some of the things you have, just the Eel alone will grow to 2.5' and is recommended for a 125 gal tank min. with lots of rock and coral for it to hide in. You are pretty much at your limit now at the size they are and will have to get a much larger tank. What kind of filtration are you using how old is the tank. Just go slow and look and read before buying because you may be just building a time bomb.
 
I'm just using a canister filter right now, my cabinet doesn't really have room for a sump, the tank is a few months old, I'd like to step up to a bigger one, but probly not anytime soon, my next question was going to be how close to over stocking am I. Is the eel a relatively fast grower? I was told it would stay closer to the size of a snowflake.. That was before I learned to research the fish in the LFS rather than take their word. Ok well I'm probly going to stop after the flame angel, my girlfriend wanted to buy it for my bday. Thanks guys,
