I have 9 fishes total in my 90g tank.
Can someone please recommend new fishes for my 90Gal tank? Hopefully it would be compatible with my current stock. I wanted add 2 more orange clownfish, but I read on this forum it is a BIG No No to mix with different clown in the same tank.
Current stock:
One Blue tang - 3" long
One Yellow Tang - 4" long
Two Banggai Cardinal (Adult size)
Two Firefish Purple
One Green Mandarin
One Orange Spotted Goby - 4" long
Two Black Clownfish (Adult Size)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Well Flower beat me to it with suggesting Anthias.
I don't suggest psuedochromis, especially if you have shrimp in your tank (which you really should it it's a reef set up with that many fish, IMO). Psuedos are normally a bit aggressive too, just another thought to keep in mind. I also don't think it's a good idea to mix clowns, some people have luck, but since you have two that are already adults, I wouldn't risk it when there are so many other options out there.
I have a coral beauty angelfish and love her. Here's the catch, she attacks everyone I've added to the tank since her. She's killed two blennies on me and a small hippo tang. She always pounces right on new additions, normally chases them around and then leaves them be, BUT, she has killed a couple as well. She's never nipped at any of my corals, but it's always a risk with angel fish, even the Flame Angel can be a risk. There are a couple dwarf angel fish that are a little safer to go with, if you search this site you'll find someone who says what they are, which I don't follow because I already have one dwarf.
Hawkfish is another one that can be aggressive and you have a fairly peaceful tank.
You're yellow tang may chase any new additions as well, they're known to do this. If you do decide to go with a powder blue, make sure it's going to be the last tang you add. Naso's are normally very peaceful as well as sailfins. I don't know if you should go with another tang though considering you already have two in a 90G, but if you must, I'd go with a Naso or Sailfin, they're much more peaceful. You could also try a Kole Tang.
I'd stick with smaller fish, like reef chromis, basslets, anthias, clown gobies or a royal gramma. Try a blenny, they have so much personality and some, such as the Lawnmower Blenny are beneficial to the tank, helping it stay clean of algae.
Good luck.
