60 Gal Cube Stocking

[Longhorns6]

Hi everyone!

First time here on R2R. I got a 60 Gal cube in April and have it cycled and some fish. I have thoughts of adding some fish and wanted some input.

Current Stock:
X2 Clownfish
X2 PJ cardinal fish
X1 Blue Damsel
X1 Firefish Goby
X1 Yellow Watchmen Goby
X1 Pink Sea Urchin
X3 Turbo Snails
X2 Tiger Conch
X2 zoa frags
X1 Gorgonian
A few astrea snails and hermit crabs


Stocking Ideas:
Randal candy cane pistol shrimp for YWG
Orange Tail Puffer Toby (may go after pistol shrimp)
Dwarf Angel, Flame or Coral Beauty
Melanrus Wrasse
Other gobies

I'm mostly looking for a centerpiece fish for the tank. Not looking to add all the fish under the stocking ideas as I won't have room for them. Any suggestions or feedback?

Being a huge fan of Flame Angels that would be my recommendation. An active fish with stunning coloration.
It's always a gamble with regards to coral nipping and Angels. My Flame and CB have never been nippers.
Flame Hawkfish would be a nice addition.

The systems scape looks very fish friendly, great over hangs and arches.

Flame Angel been a personal favorite of mine cause orange is my favorite color too. Pops! Do you have Flame and CB in the same tank? Issues?

Thanks! Worked on the scape for like two weeks, happy where it landed.

No I gave up the CB when I got ride of my 45, they really need a 70+. Currently I am setting up a larger system for a Flame.
I honest don't have enough experience with Dawf Angel in larger systems.

All good suggestions. I was torn between a flame and a eilbi dwarf angel and decided on the eilbi.

Pygmy (Cherub) Angels are also beautiful.

Haven't seen this fish yet, is it more passive? I hear flames can be aggressive towards smaller fish.

What's your favorite one?

Hoping to finish stocking my tank over the next couple of months and it's hard when I want so many but so little space.

Yes , part of the reason I got it and because it’s a beautiful fish. Model citizen.
