would like to add fish to tank advice?

[grtmmt]

Lost one of my True Percula clowns ( jumped out, I have added a cover to stop that from happening again ) and looking to add fish. I have a 155 gallon reef tank, currently I have a 4 inch hippo, 5 inch lavender tang and 5 inch nasno tang, 2 paj cardinals, a 2 inch six line wrasse, a 4 inch midas blenny, and a 3 inch flame angel.

Should I just replace the clown or perhaps try a school of clowns? I would love to add a angel, but it is hit and miss of how they treat corals, and I doubt one would go well with my flame angel. My 3 tangs all do well together so adding another tang may upset the balance. Any thoughts?

You have a ton of options. I personally would probably do a pair of true perc clowns or picasso clowns or a school of Anthias. Might also consider another wrasse of some sort maybe even two. Just be sure you QT whatever you get before it goes in your main tank. You don't want to introduce disease. Good luck and post whatever fish you decide.

good advice on QT, I have learned my lesson. My six line wrasse is pretty aggressive another wrasse may not work. School of anthias may work but they I hear are as tought to keep alive as chromis.

Six lines preclude other wrasses. You only get one clown pair per normal sized tank. And your tang selection will outgrow your tank. One will reach a foot, another will reach a foot and a half.

go with a school (5 or so) of anthias! squampinnis are nice, beautiful and active
