Adding New Fish

[pattyr]

I'm getting ready to add new fish to my tank. I have a 90 gal tank with 2 damsels, a six line wrase, two clowns and a flame angel. Would love to get the damsels out but I have tried and have been unsuccessful. Any suggestions? But I have always wanted a regal tang. I've been told to add two I also would like to add some pink anthias but I have read about them and they are schooling fish. I've been told to add three of those. Any suggestions? Just wondering if you can add anthias with regals, and are regals easy to keep?

regals are extremely difficult to keep and you definitely do not want to add more than one because when they become adults, they will fight. Regals are very sensitive to water fluctuations, so if you know the temperature is never constant, or if you are new at this hobby, a regal would not be a good choice at this time.
Anthias are a nice fish when you get them in a school of 3 or more. Three would be fine, just be selective of what type of anthias you choose. Also, when you get the anthias, do not get any other fish. Any more than 3 fish and you will strain the bioload of your aquarium quite a bit.

I have a Passer Angelfish that continuously ask a damsel to "clean him". My questions is: any suggestions on a fish or wrasse (other than an actual cleaner wrasse) I can add to my tank that can help the Passer.

cleaner gobies will clean fish without eating the fish, like the cleaner wrasse.
