Question on stocking my 75 gallon. Wondering if I’ve got the capacity to add one more fish, either a flasher/fairy wrasse, or orchid dottyback? I don’t want to rehome any fish down the road when they reach full size either, so I’m trying to take that into account.

Current stock:
2 Picasso Clowns
1 Yellow Coris Wrasse
1 Yellow Watchmen Goby
1 Flame Angel

Note: I have a large skimmer and very large amount of chaeto so not too worried about the bioload.

I don’t see an issue with this stock list. You could probably easily do 2-3 more fish. Just be aware that clownfish pairs can become aggressive, especially when they spawn.

Definitely could add more... I have 5 fish in a 33 gallon... All depends on size as well..
