Will These Work?

I have a 120 gal. Tank that has been running for about 10-11 months. Right now I have 2 perc. clown a rusty angel, and a batfish. I'm thinking about getting a royal gramma, bannerfish, cleaner wrasse. What tang would go best with this tank? A Sailfin tank, yellow tang, Regal/Hippo Tang, a Blonde Naso Tang, or a Kole Tang.

Given what you already have, the addition of a bannerfish will pretty much put you at your limit. Not sure if you know how large batfish get but your 120 will be none too large for this fish. Personally, I'd skip the tang and stick with a couple smaller fish. The gramma would work. Cleaner wrasses are poor choices overall due to their dismal survival rates. Don't overcrowd this tank. Bat are sensitive and easily become stressed/ill.

my tank is 120 gal. It is 20 inch in height. I think it will be hard to overstock espically with what I want to buy... This Batfish grows to be big, but when it gets older it shrinks... and if it doesn't i can just sell it back to the lfs

Batfish need very tall tanks. My 120 is a 26 inch high system and 5 feet long. Figure the adult sizes of the fish you plan to keep. The banner fish will hit 6-7 inches, and they are relatively active. Making the bat and the banner fish the two largest fish won't crowd you, allowing the smaller ones to fill in.
Who told you the batfish will shrink when it gets older?

Kole,Kole,Kole,Kole,Kole,Kole all the way

It was in a book I read, it didn't say it would srink, to be very tiny, but it would shrink, maybe and inch.

i would not get a cleaner wrasse. i tried it thinkin i could go against the odds. trust me it will die. i read that it needs to live off parasites and if it doesn't have a constant supply it will die. also as far as tangs go i would get the blonde naso. i think those are the most interesting, but the ones that would do the best would be either the yellow or the sailfin. those seem to be the most hardiest fish. the kole tang is also hardy but they seem to get stressed easier, plus the kole is uglier in comparison but they do clean the tank pretty well of algae. and the blue hippo is more prone to ick as well, but do fine otherwise.
