Considering adding a fish


Recently, I have been thinking about adding one more fish. I'm not ready to go buy it yet but have been thinking about what I would like the best. I think I know what feedback i'm going to get but i'm going to ask anyway. Please give me your feelings either way.

I have a 125g mixed with a 30g refugium (225lbs rock). System has been up about 18months and all parameters are very good. For example, nitrate is <1 at all times.

Current fish: I have a total of 7 : Regal Tank (3"), Lemon Tang (3"), Coral Beauty, Saddleback Clown, Lawnmower blenny, yellow tail damsel, and a royal gramma.

Most fish have been in the tank 6-12 months and all appear to be very happy and healthy.

So, i'm interested in a powder blue tang. I also considered a flame angel. I understand that the flame angel is a really bad choice becuase it will fight with the coral beauty.

What do you all think ....? Any other suggestions (besides leave it alone, which I may still do?)

Thanks

I dont know if you should add the powder blue. You already have two tangs that will eventually get very large and you may have problems with aggression with the new and old tangs. I would say no.

I agree with John, personally I wouldn't add another tang in a 125
Not sure if the CB and flame would fight in a 125, but both are iffy when it comes to coral safe

Its not a chance I would take with the PB either, especially being one of the harder ones to keep.

You already have tangs the powder blue might fight with, and I think the flame angel would fight with the coral beauty. If you want another big fish, maybe look at a bluejaw or sargassum trigger, or a genicanthus angel (don't think they quarrel with dwarf angels, but a trigger is probably the best bet).
