Do I have an aggressive tank?

[michaelstern]

I have a 125 hallon fo that has a 5" Passer angel, a 6" PB Tang (king of the tank) and a 3" tomato clown, as well as a bunvh of hermits. Is this an aggressive setup? I could move the clown to another tank. What would be some good additions? Top 3 choices would be another tang (sohal), another angel (juv emperator) and/or clown trigger. Any suggestions?

i wouldnt say its an aggressive but a fo tank if you take the hermits out. if you have lr its a fowlr tank. but i dont think its an aggresive without an aggresive fish. Get the trigger and thats an agressive imo.
take care

All three of those fish are aggressive. Tomatoe clowns? C'mon they are agressive! Passer or King Angels are definatly agressive. The trigger you listed is agressive as well. It seems like a great setup. Best of luck.
Sohal Tangs are super cool. Expensive, but really my favorite Tangs and did I mention cool?

Yes, but what do you think about the second angel and/or second tang?

OK, I think I am going to order a small clown trigger and the juvenile emperor from this site. What do you think?

mike adding a another large angel would be a very bad idea. but you can add a drawf angel I don't care which two large angels you add they will fight to the death thats almost certain.

no trigger there. Just a pb tang. still fairly aggressive.

I have always been afraid to add a smaller fish for fear of attack by the two big boys. With regard to the angel, I thought it would be ok sice a) they are different genus and b) totally different size. By the time the emperor grows, I will upgrade to a 300 gal. What do you think?
If I skip the trigger any other suggestions? I really don't want an eel.

Michael, I know the temptation of another angel or tang. I would not add another of either of these. Try a different type of fish. A nice colorful anthias or a wrasse of some type would be good. Both of those swim all over and are active and can hold their own, as long as they arent too small.....
