Fish

[Rock]

Looking for some ideas and knowledge on fish options. I have a 90 gal bow front with the following livestock and I am looking for some different suggestions, with compatibility in mind. Considering adding some type of eel (snow flake?) and/or larger fish (not yellow). Is there anything cool out there I don't know about that you have had good luck with?

currently have
yellow tang 3"
fox face 3"
cardinal
flame tale blenny
lawnmower blenny (opposite end of tank Ha ha)
two ocellaris clowns
six line wrass
tiger goby

various LPS, zoos, softies and normal cleanup crew

In looking at pocket guide a lot of the potential fish also don't work with clean up crew, LPS, etc.

thanks in advance

Perhaps a flame angel, smaller type of anthias, schooling chromis etc... LOL Those are what I am planning for my tank

I like flame angels, told they may eat some of the softies including zoos?

A flame hawkfish would be nice. I have one and love watching him peck around.

I think a trio of Anthias would lok cool. The school in the open part of the tank and add action and color. Also, blue: a powder blue or blue hippo tang, not a purple tang... too closely related to the yellow tang.
I wanted the anthias for my tank but ran out of space.

THey can, but they normally dont. You just have to keep an eye out on the flame angel.

are the hippo tangs pretty hardy? What about the snowflake eels will they mess with the other fish?

[Rock]

Would a hippo tang and a naso tang be to similiar to put together?

[brewercm]

Not trying to be the tang police but a Hippo and a Naso are a lot of tang for a 90 gallon tank. Actually either one of those will eventually outgrow that tank on it's own.
What will the dimensions of the tank be?

I have a small snowflake (5-6") with my rig, no problems yet. He sticks by himself and don't bother the other fish too much.

That may change later on though.

naah what you need is a genicanthus angel. i personally dig the blackspot angel. the females are particularly pretty

[Firstman]

carpenter wrasse or a blue flasher

[Troutmasters02]

As Firstman said, wrasses are pretty cool and melow. I'd stay clear of powder blues, or anything that can get ich real easy. But thats just my .02

good stuff. so I really like the flame angel (especially the one that just sold nice pic), I really want a snow flake eel (hope it won't choose the same rock that the tiger goby is under) The hippo's and naso's I see at the stores always look pretty poor so I am sceptical. Haven't notice alot of anthias, but it may be I haven't been looking. Thanks for the input, I have been researching all the suggestions.

Here's an example of some anthias, there are prettier ones out there. These are the smaller kind that dont need a huge tank to do well.
