Suggestions on a new Fish...

[thirty5]

I have a 175 bow (reef, well getting there). I want to add another fish what would you recommend? I have the following:

2 Hippo Tangs
2 Yellow Tangs
2 Clowns
3 Domino Damsels (will get them out if i need to)
1 Royal Gramma
1 Mandarin


Eventually i want to get a Naso for my centerpiece fish (unless something else strikes my fancy)

What would you get if you had my tank???

I'd swap one hippo and one yellow tang for a Kole tang and a Naso

Why the swap? Dont think that i can put them in together?

Get a NASO. I have two, one is not so nice, but my big one(About 12") is my buddy and follows me where ever I go...

Do you have a regular Naso or a blonde? I really like the blondes

They might be ok, they might kill each other. I only suggested the swap for aesthetics and a "what I would do". Mixing it up so to speak, if you like two yellow tangs and two hippos keep them. I pair some of my fish and keep others single. All a matter of personal preference.

Ok, I understand. I appreciate your opinion....

THANKS!

I would get a group of C.retrofasciata they are beautiful but then u would need to get rid of your damsels. They gonna cause pain sooner or later. Just get them out and put them in ur sump if you have one.

I got two regular ones. I like the blondes also and have tried to put them with my big one, however my big naso has killed them.

How about a Banggai Cardinal?My personal favorite. Have one in my tank almost 4 years.Great fish and doesn't take s**t from my damsel.It doesn't bother anything in my tank.

I actually thought about them. If i were to get them, i would get a bunch of them. I was also thinking of something that will school. I know that the cardinals will. BUt not sure what i really want.
