I need help updating my stocklist for my 125. Right now there's more inverts than fish. The only fish in there right now are 5 green chromis, and 2 blennies.
My future plans are to also have:
2 occelaris clowns
2-3 Banghaii cardinalfish
Yellow Watchman Goby
Royal Gama
2 Purple Firefish
2 McCoskers Wrasse
2-3 Neon Gobies (unsure)
Blue Hippo Tang
Yellow Tang
in that order.
I was wondering if there's any type of anthias that would work in this setup. I am also looking for suggestions on other centerpiece types of fish.

No blue tang for one thing. I will help more tomorrow.
Why no hippo tang?
Your stock list looks fine. A hippo should be fine in your tank as long as it is 6' tank. That does seem like alot of fish, but most of them are small so it should be fine. If you want a "center piece" fish you may have to cut back a bit. What about a dwarf angel? Some of it will depend on what inverts you have in your tank. I personally like flame hawks, triggers, toby puffers. If you have crabs or shrimp, they may not like them so much.

What about instead of the yellow tang, do a Flagfin angel? Gonna be a reef? If you stick more to mushrooms and large softies, should be angel safe.
Pretty much any anthias would work in a 125? But to add a group of them as well, maybe drop the cardinals and firefish?

Most 6' tanks are at least 180G, while his is 125.
To OP, what are your tank dimensions?

I think that you could add the 2 tangs. All the other fish you have are small.
Oh, and McCosker Wrasses are gorgeous!!!
I would love to see updated pictures!

also remember that blue tangs are more susceptible to alot of diseases then most fish.
Yes, I'm almost against adding them but my wife wants those two to finish her "Nemo" collection.

I was only able to find one and I added him yesterday. He's a small fellow, but quite impressive looking for being so small. I'll post some pictures up soon.

I would never add that many fish into a 180........it's a 125!

I'm only up to about 15 right now and just adding as I see fit. I'm making sure everyone has enough space and food.
