Want to add a fish or two

[hkgar]

I have a 90 gallon mainly sps. Current fish are Blue Hippo, Yellow Tang, Clarki Clown, Coral Beauty and a 6 line Wrasse.

I would like to add 1 or 2 additional fish and would like your recommendations.

Pair of rhomboids, and a helfrichi firefish depending on how aggressive the six line is.

Sixline will preclude both of those fish.

Well, since your hippo will reach one foot rather quickly, additional fish might not be such a great idea.

Lose the hippo (size) and the 6-line (aggressiveness) and your options really expand.

The 6 line seems to be quite timid and very seldom comes out from the rocks except a bit at feeding times. I have had the Kippo for about 6 years and it is only about 3.5 inches.

Will it continue to grow? And is the 6 line only appearing timid because there is no one to whom he would be aggressive?

If you have had that tang for 6 years and it is only 3.5 inches there is something seriously wrong with it.

The Hippo's growth has been stunted due to poor nutrition, stress, water quality or some combination of the 3. I doubt that the fish will grow much more - but I'm basing this on what I know of human development. There are certain periods where development (in people) occurs and, if interfered with or negated by environment, the "growth" does not occur and is highly unlikely to ever occur.
