I you don't have shrimp I love my flame hawkfish, most personallity in the tank. He has however, killed every cleaner shimp i put in because i think "he won't eat it this time...". Everyone who comes over likes him too. Swims laps around the tank, perching on 4-5 spots just to look around, then zoom off to the next.

Tank is probably too small by the tang police's standards... they're likely right.

If you do add a flame angel, add it last. Mine beat up everything that was added after him.

+1 on the Flame Hawkfish. I LOVE mine.

I really like the little stuff. One of my favorite fish is my barnicle blenny. Super cool. Tailspot blenny, gobies, etc... I love them and they take up next to nothing for your bio load.

A group of 2 is way too small for lyretail anthias. Or too big. one will kill the other for sure. I bought 1M and 4F... the male killed all the females. I think. The male is the only survivor. I'd say go for a more peaceful anthias... Bartletts maybe? Fathead? Barbonius? I want my Lyretail gone... he's a jerk.

You may end up with fighting between 2 firefish as well... but it may wokr out, especially if you get a male and a female. Purples are apparently the most aggressive. I have 2 purples in my 160... they do ok.

Would that be for the powder tangs? the ones im looking at are at the LFS and they are only about 3 inches right now
I absoulty love my cleaner shrimp. probably getting a couple more once my tank settles down so i dont think a flame hawkfish will work
Mabey ill stick with the Bartletts then.
Ill probably stick with one fire fish as well

As well does anybody have any experience with green chromis. i really wantt to get a schooling fish and the green chromis is what im leaning towards. How many do you think i should get?

I have 5 green chromis in my tank that school and peacefully swim around but once you add food, they swarm in like piranha and eat very aggressively.

The chromis will not school, they stick together as a "group" but won't huddle up unless they're getting picked on. In my 150 i can usually find 1 on each end of the tank. and a couple around the mid. They all sleep in the same place thoguh at night, and if any of them are getting pestered they team up quick.

I think ill probably get 5 or so and see how that works.

For wrasses, look at Blue Star Leapord Wrasses. Mine are beautiful and very active and hardy. This is one of mine.
