Right now I've got a 92 gallon corner with 2 clowns, a pink damsel, a orange spotted watchman goby, and a Powder Brown (white face) tang. I also have some soft corals (mushrooms, GSP, and toadstools), and a bubble tip anemone that the clowns host with, and a pair of cleaner shrimp.

I don't plan on adding any new fish for a few months, but I wanted to run the rest of my list by everyone here.

Here is what I would like to add:
- Foxface rabbitfish (want something Yellow, and I don't think I should add a Yellow tang)
- Midas Blenny (or a similar sized fish with lots of character)
- Mandarin (will add after my tank has been running for over a year)
- Pistol Shrimp (for my goby)

If I added the above fish, would I be maxed out? Also, please suggest any other fish that would go good with what I have, or what I plan to add.

Thanks!

i highly recommend the midas blenny very pretty and full of character once acclimated.
for something yellow i would suggest a two spot hogfish. i'll look up the sci name but they saty pretty small (about 4") and are fairly hardy and easy to keep and peaceful.

would say u can still add more fish after those depending on filtration and set up.

I've heard good things about the Midas Blenny, so it's good to know it will work in my tank. I'll look into a hogfish. I just don't want something that will eat my cleaner shrimp as I kind of like the little guys.

Germanman: I've got a ER RS100 Skimmer, a 15 gallon sump with cheato fuge, and about 65 lbs of live rock. I plan on doubling the live rock soon. With the extra live rock, how many more fish do you think I could handle? Some other fish I am interested in are the firefish, a fairy wrasse, and a Flame Angel, though I've read the last one may eat my shrimp.

I like your list. My Flame Angel doesn't go near my shrimp but she lets the shrimp clean her. Never heard of them attacking shrimp. :huh:

A royal gramma or pseudochromis would be nice too. Maybe some cardinals too.

yeah i remembered that some hogs can be problems with invert (most crustacean) but i think that this doesn't get beg enough to be a problem.

if you don't dig that you could do a lemonpeel angel as well.
