Ok here is the story, I have a 46-gallon bowfront and i want to add more fish to it. Currently is has about 25-35 lbs. of live rock with a yellow tang, goby, small puffer, 1 yellow tailed damsel, starfish, and hermit crab. My question is what to add?? I am thinking about more yellow-tailed damsels. What are the chances that they will get along?? Also thinking about a coral beauty or a flame angelfish. Although the angel is getting a little pricey for a full-time college student. :D

It sounds as though you are pretty well stocked for a 46. Do you plan on upgrading in the near future? What kind of puffer do you have? As they grow they can get big enough to eat damsels.

Yuor tank is too small for a yellow or any tang and i would say the same for a puffer, I would sell those Two fish and go with a flame angle, you could also put in a purple fire fish (very color full) 3-5 Baggi cardnals would also be a nice addition.
ED :p

Agree that you should sell back the tang and puffer. 46 is just too small for these fish. You can replace them with a royal gramma, and flame angel and that w/b it.
Did your lfs give you the advise that you could put a puffer and tang in a 46? If so, I'd be very careful about taking their advise in the future. I would suggest getting some good reading material and checking with this board if you have any future questions.
