With fish, I just go back to my experience with African Cichlids (I've been in SW for over 35 years...). Whenever the tank population gets too low, the dominant fish(es) start killing the weaker ones. When there are LOTS of fish in the tank, they lose track of who they are chasing, and don't wear down an individual fish.

Bill, what other fish would you recommend to add? I was thinking of adding a yellow and sailfin tang but thought there might be too much aggression towards each other....

That is exactly what I have for large fish right now, a yellow, a sailfin, and a CBB, and plan to add a purple, an achiles or maybe powder brown. Mine get along great but as I said earlier my sailfin pretects other fish from the yellow by swimming in between them and displaying to the yellow til the yellow backs off. It;s the weirdest thing.
