I have a 90 gallon and right now i have 3 green chromis, 2 true perc clownfish, lawnmower blenny, yellow watchman goby, royal gramma and a purple firefish. For the future im going to get a foxface, filament wrasse and a mandarin when my tank is well established. Will a flame angel do ok with these tankmates or no?

I think adding the flame would be ok and also the LAST fish to go in and do NOT add the others that you wanted. Your tank is getting full now. Just my opinion. I would add the flame angel only after the tank is 6-9 months old.

10 fish in a 90 is full ? Wow Guess I`ve been over the limit in my 55 . I have 8 fish in my 55 for about 3 years now . :notsure:

I look at the adult size of the fish not current size and look at the level of the tank they normally stay in.

The setup that i have is a overflow into a 20 gallon sump. The protein skimmer that i have is a venturi 175 so if i get those fish will my protein skimmer handle the bioload.

Please understand that the foxface is going to be very large and messy. I would not put a foxface in a 90 gallon with a mandarine personally. Foxies are messy and mandarines need prestine water. Decide if you still want these other addtions. If you are set on a foxface then don't get the flame. If you like the flame and mandarine more then don't get the foxface. They won't fight, but they will both be dominant and messy in their own right.

As far as the the gramma-angel mix, I had a Coral beauty angel in my tank with a gramma for over 1.5 years with no prob, never saw them interacting. (till the Coral beauty found herself out of my tank in a very dry house.
