Help me pick some new fishies


Im going to a few LFS tomorrow and want to pick up a few fishes. What fish would be good to add to the group below? We LOVE color just like everyone else, and would like to add to the color spectrum. What we have now are..

1 Small yellow tang
1 Small Hippo Tang
1 Small Ocellaris Clown
1 False Clown
1 Payjama Cardinal
1 soon to be gone if i can catch him Small huma huma trigger

Im thinking about adding 2-4 fishies so lets hear some suggestions.

btw they live in a 120 4x2x2 tank.

also, im not looking to get goby's or firefish. I tried that before and the way my aquascaping is, we never saw them. So we would like to get some medium to large sized fish. The largest fish in the tank now is the yellow tang and he is only about 3 inches long.

How about some engineer gobies? Yeah you said no gobies, but I just saw some adults and they are way cool. Get to be like 12 inches I believe they said. All I ever saw were the juevies and well, they looked like big worms with fins, but after seeing the adult, I wan't one, maybe two. The guy that had them said they don't make a mess and like to duck in and out of their cave. What about a bicolor foxface?

I'd go with most fish that are not to shy. Keep in mind that your fish are not that big now, but the tangs will get over 6" in a year or two. Grammas, wrasses, gobies etc... More cardinals as they can school...

I love the lemon peel, but my girlfriend had one and that thing was a terror. She tried to give it to me, and I was like thanks but no thanks! I said when I get a fowler I would get one, but I just love my reefs and each tank becomes a reef, so not gonna even try any more.

Since you have a yellow fish already maybe another dwarf like flame or coral beauty. Slight chance they can nip at corals though and even worse on clams.

flame would only match the clowns but coral beauty would work and i dont know your corals so maybe an Eibi angel or an bicolor angel

I love the half-black and eibli dwarf angels, but my half-black was nipper (clams and softies mostly). I'd get one again if I had a fowlr.
