Thinking of adding another fish any suggestion?
 
Ok so I have been thinking about adding another fish. Looking for suggestions... So far everyone get's along and I would like to keep it that way:lol:

The system is 150 gallons reef tank.

1 Regal tang(large)
1 Nason tang(large)
1 perc
1 lemon wrasse
2 lyretail Anthias

Any idea would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

The Sargassum Trigger is beautifull but would probably eat my 3 fire shrimp:twised: Maybe not a good idea...

Yes ... the Orchid Dottyback would probably work. Just wondering how territorial they can get.

I have one and he is well behaved, just kind of lurks around in a couple of caves, never see him chase or harrass

What about a slash of color gramma loretta or a canary fang blenny, I love mine he is
funny to watch quite the character.

Consider pairing up the Perc. If you have sand Goby's are useful and Blenny's are a bundle of personality. Cardinals are a great community fish and easy to take care of. You have lots of options and it looks like your taking it slow ; congratulations.

Thanks Kevin...I have tried to pair up my perc in the past. He always end up beating up his new mate to death. I have attempted this twice already. Maybe I am doing something wrong. Any tricks to this?

I agree with the suggestion of a goby for the bottom of the tank.
Review www.wetwebmedia.com to see your choices. Some like the yellow headed goby have poor survival rates.
Another choice is a small yellow goby or two (your tank is large enough for two). Just make sure he is not emaciated when you buy him. They need to be feed immediately when you add them.
